Beautifull !!! Very nice!!!

Ooh, this is such a cool project to do with my kids! Thank you for all the inspiration! ❤

Thank u for this!! I have a small hydroponic kid tank : I planted 6-8 young plants + plants /roots on the top:) (FF inspired small tank) hoping to do minimal water changes (now home to Only 1 betta & a snail:) put in a bit of beneficial bacteria . Thank u for this video:)

Id love to see a bumblebee goby breeding tank, one of the rarer species for people on youtube i think.

Love these fish in groups of 10 or more!

Keep at it! Gonna be cool.

13:28 I was always told that aerobic bacteria in a filter die within an hour and a half of no filtration. I don't know if that's true or not but when I had a power cut that lasted a few hours I came home to find that my filter had started back up while I'd been out of the house and had started to pump out the dead bacteria into the tank. All of my fish were at the surface gulping. That was a real panic-filled evening.

I'm about to buy myself a new aquarium after a break of some years. But because of a neck spinal cord injury my ability to use fine hand movements is limited. But you've solved my planting problems/worries. Use all Anubius (Epiphytes) across the Pebble-scape I was aspiring to! that's just genius. Thank you so very much and with your technique i think I can scape my hearts desire (Fluval Shaker 168L). Thank you again!

Great video with some good advice. Thank you. 😊

Can you buy the upgraded parts for the original biomaster? The prefilter tube and the intake and outlet tubes?

Beginner here, finally managed to get my wife to agree to a tank in our house! Just purchased a 56l tank so will be watching all beginner videos from here on out!

Hey Matt! Would you keep some khuli loaches with Pygmy corys? Ta x

Thanks for your video most of the things you did to clean your tank is common sense but you did demonstrate some things I haven't tried I haven't had my tank long but I find it's a fantastic hobby not really that expensive but love it Thanks mate best wishes jim 😊😊😊

On ya Matt you really love this love your passion 👍👍

What a song choice!

Top tutorial. Turkey basters are excellent for picking out snails.

criminally underrated

Hey Bro, I really enjoy your videos. I have 3 Axolotls, I got each one from different sources across the state. The only one I know is a female is my Lucy . I could use help with determine the Morphs of the other two. I actually think the other two are males but i am not sure . Also my GFP when I got him/her they have all there gills damaged and needs to regrow.

I recently picked up 6 of these WCM's and in less than 2 weeks I see babies in the tank. I know they are theirs as there are no other fish in the tank. Will they leave the babies alone or will they eat them?

thanks for the video! I'm just starting the aquarium journey and it helps me a lot!

Good and simple video for beginners Matt! I mean I really don't need to watch this video, but I still did haha, because it's been to see different people's takes on maintenance. And yes, thanks for the little shout out at 16:14 lol

Nice when it's autumn over there can you please do more Ponds thanks 😊

So encouraging to watch this beginner planted tank build. ❤

I would love something like this! Even if you didn't want to use substrate plants, you could also just remove the soil section and fill it with stuff like Java ferns and anubias, and tie Java moss to the outside to cover the black. The options with this are limitless! ❤

very well

🤣😂 I used to do some electrical in my construction career... I've been shocked so many times I lost count.. I leave it all plugged in... IF I'm getting shocked,,, So are my fish and it's time to fix/replace whatever is doing it 😉 I'll be the tester lol. Doesn't really hurt me.. just let's me know it's there 🤣

Thinking of picking up one of those Oase filters. How do you find it does with plants in close proximity?

Rummy nose tetras are great! A great addition to one of my community aquariums. The colors pop and are just fun to watch.

For some fish actually adding cooler water can help start spawning.

I got the luck that I have a lot off plants in my aquariums so I don't have to do so many waterchances. I think one time in a month.

The design is what makes it yours… Keeper of Fish 🐟 Blue Frontosa Crew and All the other Frontosa’s just as spectacular 💥™️🏴‍☠️📈‼️💨♾️💎🌊🐟🧬 Eating 🥣 like a king 👑

I sat and watched this after doing all the maintenance on my tanks and thought lets see if theres anything i can change, and yes you came up trumps. The turkey baster. Went straight out and got one, what a result, gonna use that every week now. I wondered why my some of my plants are covered in algae, and now i know why and how to stop it. Cheers.. excellent advice 👌

Great advice to help prevent newcomers from making easily avoidable mistakes….👌🏽

That's very cool, never seen shrimp climb a waterfall before... 😀😀😀

Top tip Matt , I had a water pick/Pulse gum cleaner i dont use any more , and used it to clean out all the gunk in my spraybars etc , I am going to use the brush addon and try and clean the glass in my dirty little 20 litre shrimp tank tomorrow

Please do a Shelly tank. My kids loved it when you did one of those with MD but we never got any updates. And a fish cam! How about just a 20 minute video of each fish tank. And give the tanks names please.

Tron would be sick he has the same color as the tron bike

👍🏻👍🏻

This is going to sound like the most noob like question ever - but dont you lose a lot of sand after weeks of sucking up a bit of sand during cleaning? or does the sand not go through the tube? I am just starting the learning process into keeping aquariums and realize I have a LOT to learn before I feel ready. I love your videos very much!!

Brilliant video as always Matt a video about native botanicals would be amazing things you can pick up in the woods or over the park just a thought…

Such a great overview Matt... totally agree about making your own rules as you discover what works best for your aquarium. Love this tank layout as well.

Fantastic video! One question I've had is when do you need an airstone?

I have the worst luck with most anubias. It always gets covered in crud or algae. I can only turn the lights down so much before the tank doesn’t look good. Yours all looks pristine.
