The latest aquarium build in the new studio. The 4ft Asian fish planted tank. This will be the backdrop to my desk and will be the perfect workspace. This is the first time I have done a proper peninsula full aquarium and i LOVE it. At some stage I'm definitely going to have a huge fish tank as a dividing wall in my house. I think that's everyones dream who is into aquariums right?

[@euanlennox9028]

Sounds good!!

[@jumpyjudith]

Since its an Asian tank, you know you gotta get loaches instead of corys. They often better looking also.

[@haakonstrm1684]

Do a sleep over in the studio

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Your new studio is🔥💥💥🔥🔥💯

[@dr.souvik8307]

Some cyperus helferi will make this tank🔥💥

[@DylanFH15]

Do a “disco” tanks for the boys !

[@Daniel-my3hv]

Yes please

[@mitchellbrian2585]

Doooo it

[@SpiritAquatics]

He should let them choose everything and arrange it all, just film and see what they make. :)

[@moonlightman7885]

He doesn't want to be a bad parent who allows kids to go "disco"😂

[@Monica_bondevik]

That'd be so cute!

[@kay8163]

"They're crashing right into the glass" is my fav line. 😂

[@Bobbitthehobbit]

I think it’s so important for parents to share their hobbies with their children(if the children are interested) especially more expensive and delicate hobbies like this one, since it builds a bond as well as respect for something

[@TobyCreates]

Son: **picks green and blue gravel** MD: *I never expected you to stray down this path of darkness*

[@sukhwantsingh7074]

😂😂😂

[@sukhwantsingh7074]

😂😂😂

[@jasonvanuk]

Go on MD! Go Disco tank

[@introvertfishkeeper6910]

Hahahahahahaha

[@offyourface1692]

“It looks like the fish is going to a disco” 😂

[@gijsl6436]

I just can't wrap my head around the number of subscribers you have... Your content is just pure quality! You definitely deserve more subs mate! Having said that, I really love your content and your such an inspiration for my aquarium addiction ;)

[@MDFishTanks]

growing fast so i can't complain :) thanks for the nice compliments

[@Daniel-my3hv]

Most definitely. It’s because MD fish tanks is the most entertaining fish keeping channel. Very casual and funny dude.

[@jasonvanuk]

I agree, nice casual style and also feeding my new found addiction. Just the one Nano cube I set up "for 5 year old" LOL, is not enough now

[@helloagainitsme5483]

‘I like the fake plants, blue pebbles and plastic shipwreck!!!’🤦🏻‍♀️😂 they are just so adorable! I’ve been binge watching your channel on my Tv since yesterday and now I’m about 2 years back. I’ve got you on for noise at this point. Truly enjoying your content. Great job!!

[@TotallyNotaDev]

The way you understocked the tank with such a simple but beautiful fish just makes the tank that little bit better, awesome job

[@AngryMothNoises]

I, like the kid. Also enjoy colorful aquarium stuff. ALSO, I want to see the kid aquascape their own set up. I get the majority of the hobby likes planted, natural looking tanks. But I love bright neon colors and I wanna see that in a tank. (Its almost why I went with a glow fish set-up)

[@cyrilbryanortiz2799]

The son: 'why would you make me chose then?'

[@charbeltorbeyarchitecture]

I love that he always corrects his kids and tries to enforce manners. Top father and youtuber

[@juliab3058]

The spider edit killed me lol. Absolutely crushed this scape mate!

[@Deliroux_Cat]

that spider with the edit is exactly my type of humor i love your channel, i've finally gotten a decent scape going with the help of my sister who also loves scaping

[@richardl7547]

Gym below and an aquarium studio above....... I don’t think I would ever leave!

[@Tobias611]

Hot damn this is probably your best tank yet! So jealous. Can't wait to rescape mine now lol. Absolutely stunning.

[@MDFishTanks]

thanks mate. Yeah turned out quite good :)

[@nuggetseduction]

Father/son matching crocks are adorable!!! :")

[@passionatelyme7980]

Aquariums are my new obsession - especially planted aquariums. Studying away! Thanks for the vid!!

[@aimaen]

Your little boys are beyond adorable. The fish scape is beautiful.

[@domincanEmpress]

I’m offended lol I have that green and blue gravel in my sons paw patrol tank lol

[@huntermontez8504]

“ I reckon I will” CRACKED ME UP! Btw the tank looks absolutely amazing man!

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Being a granny, I love the family atmosphere brought into your vids, the kids are a hoot and I love the Nemo aquarium as well...they should have their own aquariums here so we can watch them grow into full fledged fishmen like dad...you should be so proud of these young men...now let's go to the gym...!

[@gecko2738]

Wtf is a hoot? Is it another word for a big dummy?

[@aquariumplanet3924]

It's such a beautiful aquaskape😍😍😍😍

[@kobemaruska2223]

Spider: "Oh S*** of f***! OH GOD IT'S RAINING EARTH WHERE AM I?! " Love the vids MD thank you for all your inspiration and the fun/funny and informative videos.

[@robertfaber6796]

Family channel man. Keep it clean, please.

[@kobemaruska2223]

It's censored if you know the words you know the words. It's humor. Adult humor sure but it's also a channel adults enjoy. If you're worried about kids reading vulgar comments lets be real they shouldn't be on youtube reading comments. I respect your comment but I'm also allowed to think how I would think if I was the spider running for his life while literal rocks were falling on his head from the sky. Sorry but you should lighten up a bit.

[@jonathancollins9831]

The most legit aquarium channel on YT, period.

[@JaneAmericanIrish777]

Did the spider take up residence ? 😄 The day the little ones build their own Legos . Is the day that the patents dance !

[@BigFishLittleFishAquatics]

Tank looks great, I think some glass catfish & roseline barbs would look good in there :)

[@EricLabelleUX]

Perfect way to start my morning!!! Coffee and and a build video! Thanks MD!

[@owenclark3782]

I like how the gravel in the bags work as the start of your aquascape but also works as area for bacteria to grow on

[@OCAVIARY]

Finally I’ve been really excited to see this!

[@marcuscrossett2658]

Nice tank. You look like a really good father to you kids

[@rohan1833]

Its 1am in NZ and im watching this

[@ABones-bm3vq]

he says "I reckon I will" like a grown savage

[@kermitthefrog4325]

16:22 Ah there you know he's raising his kids really well...😌❤ anyway,thanks for the vid,I really needed this.

[@michaelstoughii1920]

Agree with the comments about a kids' tank. Will be looking forward to that video.

[@lindagilligan843]

Getting my first 75 gallon tank next week...Hoping to do with sand, plants and wood! Your videos are AMAZING!

[@mndz.2165]

This looks so much better than the first scape of this

[@mitchellreimann2363]

I’ve waited for this video!!! It’s so much fun to see you making those tanks and I get so much information from you’re video’s. Keep it going really looking forward to the next one! 😁

[@rilanraffeek1]

I really like the way you build aquarium,you’re so clean and perfect 👌.Hats off man 😘

[@camsfishadventures]

Always in awe of your aquascapes❤️

[@nanoreaper5002]

Awesome Job, love they way it looks... kids always seem too love the bright colored gravel

[@diegorojas9676]

Love how you balance the kids and your hobby or job (idk) so well :)

[@ameenuksg]

I just love this tank

[@aishwaryavaisnavi6019]

Love the work MD on the Asian style scape and your journey in this hobby is amazing!!! where you have reached🎉🙌🏼... I'm sure all the subscribers would love to see your son's take over and do a small nano tank setup!!!😊

[@oliverblackhall]

Great video. And amazing scape as always!

[@robertseymour2333]

Best scape yet, really inspirational. Can’t wait to get started on a large tank set up, it will definitely be influenced by this one.

[@MHAquaticsUK]

Wow that just looks awesome MD! So much detail! I think Yellow Honey Gouramis from India would look amazing in there!

[@bm3aquatic]

Looks beautiful 😍 I have Harlequin and Lampchop Rasbora and all 20 of them school together. Great fish🐟

[@raidermorgan4317]

This tank and the angelfish tank are by far my two favorite tanks you have done

[@davidbowman2501]

Great looking tank. I wanted to do a peninsula tank before and now you've made me want to do it more.

[@feralon9570]

I don't typically like the island tanks but this one blew my mind!! Great job! Beautiful tank!

[@CaptnNate]

Great tank MD! Can't wait to see the rasboras colored up. Will be stunning

[@albacygnus6057]

That s my favorite new tank MD. I love when that beautiful woods and rocks are more visible. Also ur family is beautiful and plz make a 'disco' tank to ur lovely kids

[@rcjames4]

And the tights method is genius

[@debbiec9680]

Lookin' good MD, all these videos help me to come up with my own aquascape, plants arrive tomorrow !

[@l.chr.6653]

It looks absolutely amazing MD! Wow all the beautiful details! :-) The scape you had made in the tank in your old studio was amazing but this one is even more beautiful! I love it! Looking forward to the next fish you get :-) Cheers mate!

[@luisambriz2221]

Mesh bags work great to build up!

[@alisonpereira678]

Ual. Que aquário surreal e maravilhoso ! Curto muito o seu canal e um aquário mais fantástico que o outro. Está de parabéns

[@AnnabellaSignorina]

The green wall gives the tank a more unique look 😃💚 but it’s awesome anyway. Love the part when your son starts counting in the car. So cute. Can’t wait for the next video! 💚🌿

[@jonhardy9940]

Your tanks are phenomenal! Lots of ideas and useful information!

[@tarinabdullah]

I loved this tank! Amazing!

[@andrewnicholls5082]

Defo one of my favourite builds. Been trying to think where I could possibly fit a peninsula build in my house 🤔

[@douglas6336]

I know your style is the more low energy setup at George Farmer calls it but I would love to see you set up a high energy 60p tank if you felt like having a tank you have to do a little more maintenance on. With carpeting plants and thicccc rotala at the back. Would look awesome

[@RpGirlRizo]

This is gorgeous. I want a small version of this for my betta. *goals*

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Great tank, great idea using the tights, I used coarse lava rock under my substrate. Peninsula tanks are cool, my 75 is a peninsula beside my desk, one end is a shale cliff to hide the matten filter, pumps and heater, the rest is planted with some shale in the middle like it broke off the cliff, fully planted, Eco-complete black substrate. South American theme, Angels, Rams, Tetras and Corys .

[@dndndndndn419]

Nice! Been looking forward to this one!

[@razzmanFPV]

Studio is coming along great🤙🤙👌👌👊👊

[@jamesisveryswag1014]

you never disappoint with these scapes. much love from hong kong

[@ondranovotny3724]

Akvárium v prostoru... Pecka, nádhera,, nemůžu si to dovolit "zatím" pěkná inspirace a boží obyvatelé,, 👍👍👍✌️

[@thenanoscaper2689]

definitely your best tank yet I'm so glad you re-rescaped it 😅 even though it was awesome before now its even better!

[@micheshawn]

Your video and knowledge content is amazing !! Hugs from USA 🇺🇸

[@randomnesschannel8820]

I wish my parents love fish like this

[@hidden_noxa6670]

Thank you for creating your content, for me personally it has helped me with sleeping and my anxiety/depression so thank you for making cool videos about fish and plants man, keep it up! :)

[@dolphinliam888]

Wow. I'm about to put in a 8ft x 2ft tank. I might turn it the other way. Hadn't thought of doing that. It will be my second tank. Biggest project yet 😁. Fantastic videos!

[@nineleafclover1477]

Great video! Recently discovered your channel and have really been enjoying it. I'm starting to do some planning for my first planted tank, and these videos are great inspiration

[@Dovietail]

looking back at how marvelous this looked, I really think you need to see someone about your pearlweed fixation. seriously.

[@lee-anne2353]

Oh yes

[@fishandfloral]

Now I know what to do with my old hose. I’m definitely going to do this. 😀

[@henkaquascaper58]

Love this setup and love the wood .....its a 10 + for me !

[@johnstarkey4959]

Very nice Aquascape, thanks for the link to those Lilly pipes, I’ll get some as a spare set in case I break my glass ones 😋

[@kilvosfish5360]

Such a beautiful set up !

[@Jesus-eg3yb]

Incredible set up!

[@kimheartsuds]

I would love your take on a kids fish tank!

[@25luay]

I don’t know about the gravel making the fish going to the disco, but the right skimmer on that tank was reaaaally in a paaaarty mode !! Nice setup, keep it up !!

[@jlistsaak2816]

You still need to add some Galaxy Rasboras (Pearlchickenbarbels lol) ❤️ I looooove the N2 Asian aquarium!!

[@xNinja02]

Looks perfect for Discus👍🏼

[@nancyliumd]

All this must've taken a ton of work!!! Really appreciate the high quality videos :)
