[@razzledazzle8948]

Can I have some advice on a plant please..? Fantastic content as usual 😊

[@durst101]

Ahh, back to normaility. Video 76 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.

[@graffic13]

Love this one!!!! You should have Serpaedesign come do a tank!

[@alaskanime]

Is he saying tourmaline is an ingredient in the ADA Power Sand?? I've used black tourmaline as hardscape/decor pebbles in my first aquascape I set up last year and it did way better than the second scape I tried with amethyst and garnet sand - I was wondering if that might be a reason why.

[@AquariumGardensAquascaping]

Thanks so much for having me MD. It was an awesome experience to see your studio in person, and a privilege to create something new for it 🙏☺️ the plants look amazing already. Lovely fish selection too, colours are amazing! 😍

[@Knutahh]

Great job on the tank, it looks amazing. I'll be stealing a few ideas for my next aquascape for sure. :D

[@MDFishTanks]

thanks so much for coming Dave. We had a good laugh all day and created something special in the studio 👍👍

[@beeganator4295]

Good work guys. From a random KZbin viewer

[@chrisweston3029]

Loving the Dave & MD combo! Dave’s great bought from him lots of time. Hope we get more of this duo content

[@doesnotexist6524]

One thing I was curious about is what would happen to the tank if you put in that monster soil system WITHOUT upgrading the lighting and adding CO2. Obviously there was a bunch of algae here with just the co2 and the stock lighting, but there also weren't any water changes for a month. Would you just be wasting money and forcing yourself into a lot of extra water changes by using the high-powered substrate with low tech equipment?

[@dossprod]

I LOVE how the grass came in, definitely having that whenever I make mine

[@BuffaloSouljaa]

I started watching you about a year ago. Got a small 25l tank for a betta. Going to be picking up the same tank you used today for a new build. Thank you

[@Knutahh]

That tank looks absolutely stunning. Dave sure does know his stuff. I'm not sure about the color rendition of the ADA light, I think I prefer the chihiros WRGB2. I noted down a few species of plants I'll be using in my next aquascape.

[@MyloSurber]

15 secs!!! Love that i just so happen to be at work every time you post, gives me something to do with my last hour lol.

[@mickaelrousee3573]

Great experience for me Astoudishing (though quite obvious) how the equipment gives the Ada touch of greenery stright away. And obviously the knowledge and experience of Dave, and Md. Love it.

[@TheRealTMar]

The Superfish Scaper 90 is great! Not small but also not too big. I've got mine on a Juwel Lido cabinet. It was actually cheaper than the Superfish cabinet and the even colour fits better with the surroundings. Superfish scaper tanks deserve high end aquascapes! I've dry started my tank and made a carpet of monte carlo using my home grown stock. Basically a tub with soil and clay balls where it grows emersed till I need some. Dry starting to get a carpet or moss cover works a treat with the Superfish light.

[@Rlk-l9x]

I love the darker wood and elder stone. The contrast between the buce and stem plants is really pretty. Such an interesting scape IMO ❤

[@MJG-Fishtanks]

MD can I just say in the last few years you have truely inspired me, I started at age 12 and went from all artificial plants to full on low tech aquascapes, I am now 16. Your methods are what I swear by, and it works every time! (That is besides the scapes that I do and end up not liking😂) but you need to know (you already probably do) that you have inspired so many people!!! I have just started my largest tank around the same size as you discuss tank currently, and it’s a little scary, but I am using all your methods and all is going amazing so far! All my tanks are through your inspiration! I just want to thank you!!!!!

[@MrOneWho]

always used aquarium gardens.. always been quality 👌

[@kwackytankslap9339]

Beautiful set up. The rasbora really pop in there.

[@bigben8369]

Turned out to be an amazing scape. That stone is so beautiful!

[@doesnotexist6524]

This was a great video. Really liked the multiple follow-ups on the tank, showing the progress. Your friend had a lot of great information, too.

[@crazypandaman]

Watching this at midnight in Australia. The best.

[@RayRoberts]

Love seeing you working with talented aquascapers and seeing different methods / styles of scaping. Have you ever looked into Pond Life Aquatics? They're based in London and do the most beautiful ponds and scapes. If you ever look into doing a pond, I'd strongly recommend Pond Life. They also started making their own content on KZbin too! I know they can travel nation wide and would love to see you work with them!

[@JoshIsFishCrazy]

Great video and setup

[@halo2something]

great looking tank! you know what goes well with hydrocotyle verticillata? pigmy corydoras - they like to chill on those coin leaves, looking very nice

[@richardenriquez5932]

Wow this is the kind of build I’ve been waiting for a long time to this channel No co2 is ok but this one with amazing choices of plans it’s super amazing If you do more of this kind of build It will be amazing for your channel

[@harrycase3782]

Just set up a 112 litre today and see you uploaded. Today is good :)

[@Emi-1959]

Do you acclimate the fish and shrimp to the water? You always say the temp is the same but what about the ph, kh, gh, nitrates, nitrites etc ..?

[@davidmccann2633]

Waw that's amazing Dave brought you some rally beautiful rocks .. I have just cleaned my tank up and running agen going foraging for rocks tomorrow along the beach and up the river .. I know I need to clean them properly.. looking for different colours all the same size.. going a uniform look

[@jakobraahauge7299]

Thank you so much for making the red aquarium! ❤ I feel so seen and heard. It took a few years, but look at! It is so cool!!

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

I just love your content and the way you present it!!! My dream is to have someone load their car up with aquascaping gear and drive it to my house! I have a 55gallon just screaming to get rescaped but can't find a starting point or a few days in a row to start that project!

[@robdean1229]

Love the black substrate!!! Wish I could see more of it lol! Need to leave some negative space! (It's going to look like another jungle)

[@rickbooher8224]

Enjoyed watching this tank come to its final scape with fish very nicely done. The lighted back ground did change the light tint of the Ada light. However I did like the darker black background better, but that is a personal taste. I believe the darker back ground pops the color better of the fish. I would have like to seen the Ada light with the darker background I think the plants color would pop more against the black background. Again personal preference. I think this setup is definitely a the way Takashi Amano would have liked it to be. It got his vibe about it. Good job guys. I wished we had store like your friend who setup this aquarium near me. But sadly many of the product are not available in my area of the USA. Definitely no super fish aquariums even online. Wish they could make a way into America. I really like their aquarium kits much better than what is available here.

[@shaymaanburkatally3544]

Great work md❤🎉

[@joshualandon420]

That's it! Time for a rescape!

[@Timelog88]

Personally have an inline diffuser for my co2, but no matter how many bpm, my co2 drop checker never turns fully green. Ph seems stable around 7.5, which is what it is straight from the tap.

[@Shmu22]

I think that's like our 20 gallon tanks here in Canada ... I have two of those and a 5 gallon. The 20 gallon is as big as I want to go so I can look after everything myself (lifting it if needed to set up or take down). I have one by my desk and one in our living area. The 5 gallon has neocaridina shrimp in the dinning room.

[@joanvirgil6299]

Great video as always.

[@ChippyVanLife]

Outstanding 🔥

[@Chompchompyerded]

If you like how those gudgeons look now, just wait a few months. The colours which the male is hinting at now are going to get crazy bright. He will also grow a bit.

[@isaiahtaylor9015]

Messing with your wood is nasty work😂😂😂. Love the vids MD. Love your consistency

[@ironix1]

I must admit I do prefer the light the Superfish gave over the newer one! Brighter as well

[@amalg754]

Me self is still a fan of the low tech setups by Mr MD❤ …this is nice though ❤

[@HansFredrikDahlum]

Nice new video tanks md❤

[@milesnapue]

I'll bet the ADA light is more powerful for plant growth but I like the subtle orange or warmness of the superfish light. Is ADA for plat growth or home enjoyment?

[@henrikmadsen2176]

Jeeez 1 hour 15 minutes 😲😄 Am sure it’s worth it 👍

[@nxsebled]

Hey you've really inspired me with your Scape Skills. Just a question, what kind of none Aquarisik type of furniture would you recommend me. I've got a 25l Nano Tank, but I'm having a hard time finding the fitting furniture stand for the vibe of the Tank

[@MDBD2405]

Do you have to use the cartridges in that superfish HOB , or can you put your own media in?

[@shanerichardson6433]

Wheres the link for the super glue activator, also can i use any gel super glue ?? As the superfish will work expensive for the amount i need to glue

[@milesnapue]

MD, I'm only halfway through this video but you had better do the maintenance on this tank. You can water change one tank a week, come now, say it with me, ' a weekly maintenance tank'

[@bogreen4805]

MD I wouldn’t use that KALLAX shelf as a stand. That thing is made out of cardboard.

[@marct138]

I was really looking forward to see the babyseat hardscape in the tank. Ahwell maybe next time. 😊

[@AquariumGardensAquascaping]

🤣

[@ragozzinehq]

with a single tank, what was your method for keeping the fish healthy and filter running? I only have one tank but really want to rescape it

[@q.d.mcgraw]

With your use of sub soils I would be curious how the nutrients would hold up compared to a Walstad or Father Fish tank.

[@Raphael.P.]

Looks really great😊 But I would never want a system at home that requires a weekly 80% waterchange to balance out the tank..😅 Seems very unstable to me.

[@PHILLYTWINE]

Awesome scape, where is the light screen from?

[@GrahamPaul-s8n]

Looks good but why have you still got the glass tubing in if the co2 running through your filter ? anyway well done again 👍

[@marvaloredl]

Should I adjust the KALLAX somehow to fit a 60 L aquarium?

[@MrRahmatar]

can you rise the water level up?

[@ChrisYevrah]

Hey MD what do you think of MJ Aquascaping?

[@richardheudorf2245]

I hate watching your videos because it always makes me want to go out and buy 3 more aquariums. 😂

[@razzledazzle8948]

What is that tank to the right..?

[@heinlinnkyaw4043]

Oh nice ❤💜

[@marclewism]

Is this reupload??

[@tcchilling2511]

Let me grab my dinner.

[@oil86PL]

😂good point

[@shivasai4026]

Exactly 😂

[@milesnapue]

Put both lights on, at 50%, best of both.

[@dustinhoffmann3963]

What happened to the saltwater tank? 😯

[@Timelog88]

At 39:30 you can see it next to the computer desk.

[@MDFishTanks]

update coming very soon

[@bigben8369]

He initially got two, but only ever set up one. The other one has always been empty.

[@mrTjstephens1]

The uncle Roger hub music is strong in this video 😂

[@tiiae2705]

Could you get automatic subtitles in Finnish?

[@BrendonChase2012]

@5:43 MD in a nutshell!

[@peasantrobot]

It is stylish indeed. Contributes massively as a room decoration, something like Japanese style. But I like more your style. Plus, as you have noticed, for fish is a strong negative impact to go from the jungle style where they felt protected, in an open space like this one, completely exposed in "daylight". Terrifying!

[@ohthisguy]

Let me grab my lunch.

[@gracebromfield9070]

👏🤩💚

[@heinlinnkyaw4043]

❤💜

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

guppy and platy fish give birth and dont lay eggs but the fish size is small or cant grow big like tilapia or giant gourami

[@brockn7878]

"The front fell off "

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

You are SO NOT LAZY. OMG total opposite to lazy.

[@SpeikobraRote]

Ya know it would be nice for a change to also see the "ugly" phase of a tank when the emerse growth dies off and your tank looks like a failure. This channel only shows how beautiful everything is but it never shows people the reality of buying and planting emerse growing plants and the phase when they lose all that growth you bought. you basically always buy a root system cause the actual plants cant live underwater. they surive maybe up to a month or a week but then they die off.

[@MDFishTanks]

I think maybe your getting a different experience to most mate so I don't blame you for thinking this way, but 90% of plants don't die off. The only ones that really do for me is crypts and sometimes java ferns depending on the source/age. All the plants in this tank for instance apart from the crypt flamingo have gone from strength to strength and will continue to do so. The crypt is now bouncing back as they often do and can just about see the bright pink poking through in the final shots.

[@Ishan.patel.]
