Bad Weather Makes Aquariums Better

[@MDFishTanks]

Title barely related to content...whatevs :D Hope you enjoy.

[@-WingedPoet-]

It's an accurate title tho 🤷‍♀️ I think it works. The music in this video was enjoyable. I have liked a lot of the songs you put on, but I like this more like techno-y, house-kind-of sound it's got going on. Who is the artist?

[@MDFishTanks]

@@-WingedPoet- cheers. Yeah I'm leaning much more to this style....I'll let the YT algorithm decide what we continue with lol. It's like 5 different artists.

[@moonray1276]

You had me at beer.

[@damiangrouse4564]

Agree with the long vid decision...superior continuity.

[@sasa1203]

"when the sun comes out, all I want to do is grab a cold beer, and sit in it" made me chuckle as it sounded for half a sec like you meant sit in the beer 😂🍻. Gutted the sun's gone! Love the vid, as usual!!

A really good point! Not good for pond work though! Great video as ever MD keep them coming! I can't wait to see the new Ikebana aquascape!

It's looking cool.

Just started my first tank and your videos are a real inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@Eric-lj2nk]

I like your longer build videos as well. And all the vlog videos bringing up interesting topics.

[@kellyespejel1694]

Its so nice to see how passionate he is about his aquariums .

[@fizzikat4735]

I appreciate your videos so much! I’m about to start my own tank (once all my plants come in) and your videos have really helped me to prepare for it!

[@MsDevicious]

Glad you mentioned the product you've used against the blue/green slime algae! I've been hoping you'd mention it, as my dad has a new tank that's really struggling with it. Ordered it immediately and hope it'll help him sort it out. As usual - love the content!

[@terrywilliams5810]

Hi, grab a cold beer and sit in it ,,. the beer, 😂😂😂 great video as always.

[@OranODonovan]

Hello MD I'm going into secondary school this year and I've been kinda stressed over it cause I used to go to quite a small country school these videos really help me calm down thanks ♥️

[@MDFishTanks]

dont stress. will make no difference and makes no sense. Your stressing over fiction, your imagination. Live in the present only. What exactly are you stressed about?

[@alfijackson2675]

once you get into secondary school it is fine trust

[@OranODonovan]

@@MDFishTanks well I am kinda the odd one out everyone else in that school always hang out around town and go to the school party's and stuff I just prefer to be at home on yt or reading a book so just I don't think I'll make much friends 🤷

[@OranODonovan]

@@alfijackson2675 yeah I know it will be grand I am excited for some things like art class and science stuff like that

[@MDFishTanks]

@@OranODonovan Don't worry about everyone else. most adults can count their true friends on one hand. In a larger school, you will find a lot more people similar to you. Seek them out and have the courage to chat to them. Keep your circle small, life is not a popularity contest. It's better to have a few solid friends for being who you are than having tons of friends for being fake.

[@gavinfreeman3539]

I think ur puffer might need a dose of Prazi Pro. It looks like it's wasting a bit & it's stomach is sunken in. Dwarf Puffers should be rounder & more full bodied than yours appears to be.

[@MDFishTanks]

ok thanks. I'll look into it.

[@kilnimusic]

I agree. I have 6 and they are all nice and round :-D

[@fishgirlforlife937]

Peas need more friends too🥰🥰🥰

[@nickkeyler2685]

I’ve learned through personal experience that shrimp like Neocardinia molt when there is a big storm because they can feel the biometroc pressure I think it’s called in the air or whatever and for whatever reason it causes them to molt and breed! Same with lots of fish too!

[@vEGan1909]

Nick Keyler So your fishes molt? 🤣 Btw very interesting experience. Is it before a storm, during or after it? I will watch my shrimps closely next time.

[@nickkeyler2685]

E G it is after! When the sun comes out check them out and watch!

[@butch2726]

The title drew me in as it’s currently chucking it down where I live 😂. Great video MD

And you know how the they sell the floating Moss balls... How about the floating "magic carpet" of Monte Carlo 😂 where can I get me one of those 😂😂😂 loved it MD have a great day!❤️🌿🐟🌱🙏

[@nanoreaper5002]

Awesome Job, and depends on the bad weather we just had hurricane Hannah, make land fall 185 km south of us and I got about extra 12 inches of water in my Koi Pond and some downed tree branches. But I was able too get some stuff done in the fish room during the Hurricane.. :P keep up the good work and awesome videos.. any new content coming for the BTS club?

[@MDFishTanks]

haha. Well yeah...that bad weather is not good....although it might rustle up some materials??? Yeah struggling with BTS footage as I tend to document everything in the vlogs?? Th eonly thing I could do is show you guys projects im building but not finished...which will kind of ruin the "aquascape tutorial" build videos??

I subbed like 12 minutes ago and new content already. Kewl... May I ask, do u have brackish setups? I'd LOVE to see one of those. With PUFFerfish! Would you consider getting red eye puffer fish? (They're freshwater)

[@MDFishTanks]

yeah I like them. Maybe something I can do later on.

[@marcusshhiew5047]

Wow Md Fish Tank now your video much much more better propositional without over size head blocking some of the background tank, and now i finally can concentrate sit down to enjoy the whole screen while you talking. Just treat your video screen also one of the tank image, if follow golden ratio rules will be great quality video.Thank you for sharing your experience and beautiful tank.

[@al-muqtadirshantonu4941]

Looking forward to the 4ft aquarium build have you decided what your putting in there yet?

[@andreasventer4267]

My one tank now has a wave of cyano bacteria and pest snails and I am getting so irritated

[@rachelmurray8970]

MD super love the Vlog, when are you going to do another Reddit update on how to improve your aquarium?

[@vEGan1909]

Hi MD, Martin from „Martins Fische“ one of our German yt fishkeepers calls it „biotope light“.

[@nelly365]

Yes like the longer build videos😀

[@andreasventer4267]

Oohhhhhh I really want that Monte

[@mitchelldavidson9750]

Your aquariums are so clean! Do you recommend Canister filters, HOB Units or power heads/constant changes?

[@Toasty_88]

Lights out for 1 week kills cyno. If 1 week is not enough then do another week. Works every single time and never comes back this way. Just make sure its all gone before you go back to normal lighting. I have used this method for 8 different tanks over the years and it worked for all of them(cyno seems to pop up recently after setting up a new tank for me). Years later now and none of those tanks have had cyno since. This method also works for most types of algae too. No nasty chemicals needed.

[@sunaymukherjee7576]

Hey MD, I had a few questions , since I'm setting up a nano planted tank with fluval stratum and a bit of dirt ... I was wondering whether I should add the plants first or should I cycle the tank first and then add the plants in .. plants are gonna be some rotala ,s.repens and a bit of water lettuce . Also how long should I let the plants adjust since I'm buying emersed plants I'm expecting them to die out and then grow back later on in the future .Last question, since its a no filter no CO2 tank what fertilizers should I use in the near future, I'm thinking of going with the Seachem Flourish since it has all the nutrients and is afoordable ... would love your thoughts . Thanks !

[@vEGan1909]

Randomz Channel Maybe I can share some experience with my dirted tank: plant first, then cycle. My tank doesn’t need fertilizers. The animals (fishes, shrimps and snails) produce enough fertilizer for the plants 😉 so I have to trim rotala, limnophila sessiliflora etc. every two weeks 🌿🐟🌱🦐🌿🐌🌱 Greetings from Germany Esther

[@sunaymukherjee7576]

@@vEGan1909 Thanks a lot Esther , but the problem with my tank is that it will only house a Betta and a few snails at max , so I don't think they would produce enough waste for the plants..Anyways thanks for your time . Cheers !

[@Aquagold.goldysingh1313]

Amazing work...we need more video like this

[@sassilou]

Hiya MD. I have a question! I set up a 4ft tank and it's now on its second week cycle. My external filter is filtering it at 1000ltrs every hour. My problem at present is I have a slimey rainbow coating on the surface of the water. Doesn't seem to shift. For me going this big for an aquarium is massive for me. I definitely feel I have deadspots. Algae is forming on the sand and there's fine bubbles around the glass at the top. How could I improve the flow to be quicker? Would a wavemaker solve this for me?

[@dragocolossus1]

Making a 75 gallon dirted Asian fish tank with no retaining wall with rocks strewn about, full tank height driftwood, and grass in the front? Perfectly describes my tank that I've been posting on r/MD_Fan_Tanks... interesting. Well good luck, mine turned out amazing, i'm sure yours will be just as good if not better! I recommend pearl gouramis as the center piece fish, beautiful, personable, non aggressive, and asian!

[@OwenF1988]

I think you should put in 1 more male Ender Guppy with Timmy so then he has 2 fishy friends, and the guppy has fishy company too :) you should name the guppy as well since he stands out being the only fish with Timmy and we watched him grow

[@amx1820]

Asian Fish Aquarium!! Awesome... would be much more unique if you add those community compatible channa gachua sp. those smaller ones with blue fins ;)
