I visited Aquarium Design Group a week ago and filmed lots of content. I was taken aback by this huge hardscape only aquarium and designs around the shop and had to show off all aspects of it.

Ok guys, i get it 😂 a few words get cut out every now and again. There was a wifi interference and wrong mic channel that I only realised at the end. I tried to repair the best I could. All sorted for the next vids. 👍👌

It’s fine. Thank you so much for bringing this to us and thank you for your hard work.

The editing on these videos have just been incredible, such a joy to watch they almost feel like mini movies. Love you MD!

[@MDFishTanks]

Thanks very much. I really enjoy the editing process

[@Shakodancer16]

That man’s sleeve is so cool!

[@normrubio]

Man, the skill level of these guys is outstanding; pros through and through. Excellent tour and inspiration.

[@MDFishTanks]

It's another level

[@rdh2593]

love the ADG hardscape only aquariums, deep tanks with rock, wood and altums are superb. I have a 500l tank with 7 altums and L numbers however, this tank makes me realise that I need to try harder with the layout and the scape... Would love to achieve something like this. Amazing!

[@christopherallen9615]

This is where OCD will be tested. There have been so many times over watching these videos I was like don't put Plants and! It's perfect just Hardscape! And then he's like hold my pint. Just like that boom, Amazon! LOL. With or without plants they're always beautiful!

[@MandyJane123700]

So many beautiful aquariums to look at! Can't wait to watch the full tour.

[@THExPOPEXIX]

cant wait for the tour!

[@DNASlotCars]

Amazing store, we know Jeff and never knew about his involvement in the Aquarium industry. I guess we'll have plenty to chat about the next time we see him! Awesome stuff. Will visit the store this week! Greetings from Daithí & Sasha.

[@wyattejchorszt3066]

The “my name is Jeff” caught me so off guard. I forgot about that, made me laugh! 😂❤

[@nickfeldman2996]

Love the tanks where you have multiple viewpoints as opposed to thh looking window! Maybe time for a 500+ gallon tank in the studio?

Got some things planned...

I thought for a minute this was your studio and thinking how on earth you could have fit it in there! The tank itself- Wow!! 😊

[@richardbrownmusic101]

I’m in Houston and went there once! It’s an amazing store with great scapes, only place that had green neon tetras around at the time

Wow this is amazing

[@seanplsullivan]

Love the video! It was great meeting you at ADG, cheers!

[@curgunner]

Concept you were talking about at the end of all the plants above the rim is basically the concept of Serpa Designs 350gal (and many others)

[@motoboxtv7548]

Love this new content thing, absolutely madness

[@liam-n8098]

Omg that tank is stunning

[@77slate]

Love the use of negative space in some of these Tanks, but I need my plants! 🤣

[@dawnt6791]

Totally agree. Tanks just look incomplete without at least a few plants. Also, I don't want the extra maintenance required for unplanted tanks to remove the nitrates the plants would take care of.

[@zeb33369]

Agreed, but can you imagine how awkward maintenance would be if this was planted?😅😮

[@dawnt6791]

@@zeb33369Anubias and such would be great for that reason. My Anubias are zero maintenance, even in my tiniest tanks. And that's just for starters. Smart plant selection would work wonders in a tank like that. 🙂 Stem plants, definitely a no go. WAY too much maintenance for a tank like that! LOL

[@DNASlotCars]

​​@@dawnt6791Plants would ruin this scape. Most waterways these fish come from don't have a lot of plants anyway. Mostly fallen branches, rocks over a sand base.

[@dawnt6791]

@@DNASlotCarsThat's where personal preference comes in. I don't like hardscape only scapes. They just don't strike me as complete or visually appealinng. Plants enhance those, not ruin them, for me. As you noted, MOST waterways some of those fish come from are hardscape only. Plants ARE found in some of their environments, though, so adding plants wouldn't be the least bit unnatural.

[@pagewhite8177]

Incredible!! Stunning tanks, the visual impact is just incredible. The scope of their business is insane, what an accomplishment. Thank you so much for the video!

[@TexasTuesdays]

Hello Houston from Fort Worth! Absolutely gorgeous tank! I am about to set up an 85 gallon, my largest so far. I can't tell you how inspired I am by this tank. I usually follow MD's style. I like a heavily planted tank. But...this is so perfect in its simplicity!

[@Only1Sosa.]

Amazing loved everything about this

Great Video MD - good to see you travelling and enjoying your hobby with others. Keep the content coming!!!

[@armandocaceres3rd]

I'm glad that you had a chance to visit the studio. I live about 40 minutes away and typically visit the store at least twice a month, and I was going to come see you while you were in town, but I got busy with family last Saturday. Maybe next time...

[@kentmillerstudios]

Love seeing the different tanks. Different styles and ideas. Thanks!

Amazing tanks! We want more!!

[@richnguyen1954]

I was literally just there a couple weeks ago. Their display tanks are amazing.

[@jedeo299]

Love this place! If only hard scape wasn’t so expensive

[@rgilroy1909]

Amazing interview. Your new noise cancelling mics worked great in the RODI room. Not so much when there wasn't a lot of back ground noise. Some of the audio gets cut out if two people speak at the same time.. Maybe separate mic inputs for two voice tracks. Don't know if you care, just something I noticed.

[@MDFishTanks]

It is sorted for the rest. Was just interference from wifi. Sorted for the other vids

[@daniellemarshall-apsey8368]

Really love Jeff - I cold listen to him talk for hours 😂

[@donalddouglas5661]

They do fantastic hardscape work. There is a lot of dynamic to these setups. Some might call it minimalistic but it has a strength, flow, beauty and raw appeal that is inescapable. I love planted aquaria but were i to invest in a tank of these dimensions, i can't help but see natural Heckel Discus gracing such a beautiful layout. These guys consistently step up their game as time goes on ergo the success they have and richly deserve. Great video presentation! You deserve a round of applause for the way you conducted it!

This is great MD, I’m a real plant nerd and so it’s very refreshing to see such a stark contrast without it looking bland and empty. This could be a good approach to the stingray tank at Matts shop. Looking forward to seeing what you discussed with Jeff appearing in your studio. Have you thought about going bigger than four foot ?

[@MerryMary79]

I wonder if you could do something like this with a huge sump that has plants and a light inside of a cabinet, so you’d still have the benefits of plants removing nutrients with hardscape only in the visible part.

Wow! Amazing tank! MD, have you ever done a video about fish compatibility? I'm new into the fish keeping arena, and still doing my research before I dive in, so I don't have a tank... yet. With all of the fish in those tanks you just showed us, there are so many different types of fish, but they obviously all seem to get along, which is where I'm coming from. How do you know, which fish get along with others? And thanks for showing the great state of Texas, USA! I lived in El Paso for 20 years before moving to Australia, so it was kind of like a nice home coming video! :)
