[@pramodchouhan7604]

love ya vids i wished i had even a single 1 feet tank/

[@tashbax8322]

I always loved watching MD, but found myself looking forward when Matt was involved. Now I’m hooked!!! You guys are so entertaining and in the best possible way. You guys make me laugh out loud every video. Thank you!

[@GodisTruth914]

Same here!!!😊😊😊

[@pawanmalla1137]

Same here. They make things look good, interesting and funny.

[@lineevelinmunkholm5594]

Me too! You guys are so great together!

[@joshcanada3988]

Calling it now. Give it a couple years. You dudes will have your own fish store together and it will be awesome. I'm here to watch and wait for that story arc lol

[@valeriee9532]

Gallery and store combo! ❤️

[@MatDuck4130]

Yes

[@rettag2020]

My grandpa always said, "it's not bad manners, it's just good food" ❤

[@darbbively3406]

This whole wall build series has been just fantastic. Getting to hear you two bounce ideas off each other is something that just can't be done by a single person. At least without him sounding quite mad. And you're going to put fish in them too? Better still! 😁 p.s. When I was a kid here in the United States 40 or 50 years ago, the same story of burping to show appreciation was told about the Italians. No doubt very rude there as well.

[@Amanda-uc5jq]

Looks fantastic 👍 Whenever you have visitors turn the lights talk mode on 🤣🤣🤣 reactions would be fun. I would have done one side dark substrate and back and one side light would look awesome with the lights.

[@greymass84]

It’s socially acceptable in Japan. A sign you have enjoyed you meal and gives the chef a compliment

[@bigraymie]

You need a reservoir to equalise the air pressure... A 12 - 15 foot PVC pipe sealed at both ends will do the trick

[@straightouttacornwall]

I've been watching for a while and you guys will definitely have a baby together one day 🤣😘

[@SamPonjican]

This racking system came out fantastic! Really love how this new partnership has energized you both to bigger and better things.

[@BlueJayTGaming]

An LED is a light emitting diode, a diode is a component that lets a current flow one-way but not the other! They are made out of a crystal-like material that chemically reacts to an electrical current. I'm still a novice but I loved Electrical engineering in school and have always considered getting into the profession.

[@lemonlizard1]

that's really cool!

[@rantsandreviews]

Adding Matt has completely revitalized your channel!

[@causeofdivorce_1]

Loving the collaboration can’t wait to see the outcomes

[@charliebright12]

Having built a couple of fish shops from the ground up it is much more fun to watch other people doing it all🐟🐟🐟🐟😎

[@jamiechilds766]

Matt is my doppelganger 😂😂 looks like he's going to do somethink with his garage 👀👀

[@matthartshorn9483]

Don't miss a trick here fellas. I love scaping but alot of us love rare fish. You could try and get your hands on some rare fish. Informative videos on them lets us all get a good look then maybe, just maybe....sell them....to me 🤣🤣👍👍

[@mbtee]

I think you guys should paint the bricks black I think it would pull it all in together

[@DaffCookie]

Looks awesomesauce. For the hoses popping off. I ended up just super glueing 1 end to the filter and the other end to the check value. The end at the pump is held on tighter by a leggy band 😂

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

Absolutely loving the more frequent uploads. Best thing is I get to see 2 of my favorite fishtubers in the same videos a lot more now. Cheers from Florida 🍻👍

[@tcchilling2511]

Watching this on 2x speed brings real fun.

[@TreeHugginT]

Ive always liked yalls collab videos but im absolutely loving yall working together. Your videos took on a bit of a different vibe and I cant help but feel happy when i watch yall. 🥰💜

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

that line was absolutely from crocodile dundee!!

[@rebeccaampuero2347]

60 meters of lights on top of the ones over the tanks? Your fish are going to have sunburns. Don't forget to buy sunglasses for them. LOL Everything looks great. I am looking forward to seeing the finished studio. ❤

[@13abygurl1]

Fricken loving this collaboration content! Keep it coming guys. Obsessed 🤩

[@quekapital]

The McDonald's tank at the beginning is the best aquascape of them all.

[@Twinkley1981]

What a cracking job you two have done. You and Matt have done the rack idea but managed to make it look fabulous. I wonder if Cory is a little envious that he didn’t jazz his up now seeing your rack. I know I always say this but, I’m so happy you two are working together it’s really great viewing. 👌🏼🙂

[@leavesnbeans8037]

Did I sense a moment where Matt wanted to correct MD's LoTR quote? I feel that in my soul. Love you guys ❤

[@zeb33369]

I know I did 😊

[@Annie.xx-xx]

I really like when the lights turn aqua green colored They make the tanks look more natural . Very nice video x

[@sarahc7709]

Absolutely love the the fish rack am now trying to convince my other half about letting me have one. Matt please do a update on your fish room, would really want to see what you have done 😊

[@jeffreyrichardson9568]

Man, i can't get enough if this channel. Love this hobby and love the 2 of you doing what you enjoy and making it fun for us all. I know it cant be easy doing what you do (filming/editing) to get this final product, but everytime your videos come out, my day gets that much better. Also thanks for the reply on a comment last video, put a smile on face! Keep up the great work!!!

[@pagewhite61]

It looks so professional! Great job guys. The whole studio is really looking sharp, I can’t wait to see and hear what your plans are for the future. I hope you’re both feeling better. Thanks for the video.

[@daltonduncan374]

Best part of my fay is waking up and seeing a new video from you you guys are the reason I have fishtanks thank you

[@spencerroffey3970]

Is so good that videos come out so much more with the help of Matt

[@davidoconnor8311]

Love this mini series of the fish Wall. Has to be hands down the best fish channel on KZbin. Love the content. From Ireland 👍

[@Flabble3345]

Your fish will be on disco mood. Both of you can open a fish shop. Nice collaboration for both of you. Keep it up.

[@Aqua-Eden]

This is incredible! Thanks for inspiring us to start our fish room in Malaysia! Btw, in the Chinese culture, burping is a sign that you are enjoying the food!

[@sancraft1]

It is looking great. We are looking for a new house. I am going to do this racking system for my tanks after we get moved.

[@aquascapes_or]

gotta make a pvc closed loop for the pumps so it equalizes pressure!

[@imranpatel4612]

The whole wall looks mega. Great job guys

[@dustinwilliams5719]

One way to make sure the airline doesn’t come off the connector is to fully seat it down on the connector then put a zip tie around it as well. It’s practically bulletproof! I do it with all of my check valves just for peace of mind.

[@NomadbyFate10]

Matt's the brains behind this whole thing operation. Unreal guy!

[@AquariumShed]

Loving these videos lately guys. Such good vibes in the studio. Careful with back pressure on that diaphragm pump, it could wear out very quickly with the type of splitter you are using. I'd reccomend getting a linear piston air pump in the future! My video last week explains why! 👍

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

lmao!😂 probably not saying that the fishes said " what's this crappy little small tank you put us in"... omgoodness I spit my coffee when you said that, hope the aquarium people who gave you the tanks for free didn't hang around to the end of the video! I personally think it was priceless!😅😅😅

[@ShrimpMania]

Awesome fish rack! I got the same Fujimac air pump it works like a charm, really good choice. I got mine plugged into a plug/dimmer so I can adjust its power. I think the best way to supply air is to fit the plastic pipe above the tanks connect the pipes to the air pump then drill some holes for the valves in the pipe. I used a 21.5mm overflow pipe for that. You can get the pipes and fittings in screfix and they are very easy to glue together with solvent weld.

[@xdany11]

GUYYS it looks amazing! Looking clean and modern, good job lads! Big hug from Portugal for both of you

[@Christommyfmx]

It would be a pain, but theoretically you could get really long vinyl tubing and run the air pipes from the bottom of the shelves, and have them come up the back of the black backgrounds, that way you wouldn't be able to see the tubes coming down

[@JMJM75257]

Paint those blocks to seal them for easy cleaning and aesthetic!

[@aronro1291]

Or get wood paneling. You could stain it and cut long strip pieces to put over the bricks

[@ReggieBellDP]

These are not spirit fingers… these are spirit fingers. Bring it on. This is not a knife… this is a knife “Fish Shop Matt”

[@1BigBugz]

Right in the intro he said we don’t mind u eating” and my high ass literally said “idc shiii me too these pizza rolls are amazing 🎉🎉

[@yashtapase3821]

Wow i am really happy to see how this turnout so amazing ❤😊 Thanks matt 👍 Huge❤from india 🇮🇳 brothers

[@greenwarrior8971]

😂😂😂 you two crack me up. Loving the new tank display. My Nan was deaf so couldn't really hear how loud she burped. When she did burp she said " pardon me" or " manners" as she was burping. A skill I've never mastered😂😂😂😂

[@johnnydubbsaquascaping]

Great work fellas, thoroughly entertaining. I was not sold on the blocks and wood frame but now it is finished it looks magnificent 😀 Cant wait to see more. You two are the fishkeeping version of the two ronnies 🤣

[@donl7596]

Diodes...Those glowing vacuum tubes are early diodes. You'll be glad to hear, electricity only "Flo's" in one direction through them.

[@rhondafitzpatrick1646]

can we have another video tomorrow, it gets me through my work day!

[@Madsolav83]

You know its been a while since MD had a fish release when he get excited about sand going into the tank.

[@AkashSingh-zd7kb]

Man this is so exciting it’s like I’m there with yourl ♥️♥️♥️♥️ love this stuff Amazing job guys

[@staticem1]

For a better air system you should make a ring circuit for the air. Will make sure all tanks have equal pressure. Over time you may find your method requires constant adjustment.

[@jacobcallow1784]

MD and Matt are the dream team we all need!

[@jeroenhummel483]

Poor Matt. Couldnt finish his burger😂

[@namankashyap5380]

Really happy for you guys, as you both are living my dream life,keep going.

[@mrvera1970]

Looks amazing lads 👍

[@wadevisser1343]

If they continue to pop off get some small cable ties to hold them on 👍🏻

[@dr-k1667]

AMAZING JOB GUYS!!

[@loliwon2]

if you can manage to figure out a way to attach an air stone to the inside of those sponge filters it'll produce smaller bubbles to lessen the noise and give better flow to the tanks. also wouldn't be a bad idea to look into a check valve in case power goes out or something the back pressure wont suck water into your air lines that can cause a bunch of problems. and since you used clear air line the possibility of algae growing in the air lines is there. that'll plug up the air flow and eventually just stop air flow all together. since you have room behind or between the boards where the main lights are you could use PVC pipe (paint black for aesthetics) with the flow valves screwed in for each tank for easier and better air line management. if you put the PVC pipe behind the tanks where the color changing LED's are and pull the air line up into the tanks with a check valve per air line with black airline tubing since you have painted each tank black it'll hide the air line better for a cleaner look, instead of having the lines falling from the tops into the tanks. the clear air line will turn white and have algae grow inside eventually and really stand out against the black of the tanks. I've recently set up my fish room in the past two years and wish someone would of told me about not using clear tubing in advance since I've had to replace all of the old clear tubing 5 months in and have not had any issues since i switched to the black.

[@beneadesmtb]

A diode is a semiconductor device that essentially acts as a one-way switch for current. It allows current to flow easily in one direction, but severely restricts current from flowing in the opposite direction.

[@bryankershaw9344]

Loving the content from the two of you. Quick tip, careful of the airhose popping off on the pump and hanging down below the water level of the tank as this may cause a siphon and drain the tank and you'll come into the studio in the morning with a very wet floor and possible loss of livestock...

[@lkawaiteacher]

Adding a check valve to the line would prevent that from happening. Good point to bring up.

[@tinchytarantula]

Love it MD and fish shop Matt great job and build totally smashed it guy's

[@MegaEunit]

Lights that are recessed like y’all have them are typically referred to as “bias lighting”, figured I would let yall know! Much ❤ from Seattle

[@chrisweston3029]

Epic 👌🔥 every fish keepers dream that there 👍

[@robertasanti70]

No, also here in Germany it is absolutely indecent to burp, especially at the dinner table or in public! 🙈

[@JoseTorres-fn1vk]

Looking good

[@Manojspidey18]

Hey md great video and expecting long videos from you guys ❤

[@YouSh0uldCryAboutIt]

So exciting, love the new layout and the buddy dynamic. So cute. Can't wait to see what you do with it all! Lots of love from Arizona!

[@brycumbria]

Looking apalootly amazing

[@kingzlatan12]

Same colour substrate looks so professional and nice 👍🏻

[@sisterpanic9588]

As a German I can tell you that it is just as rude here as it is in Britain to burp at a table. But I guess it is just human to enjoy burping sometimes. :)

[@flexart174]

Just a tip I would have done treated plywood instead of mdf. MdF and water do not go well. On the other hand I am going to steal this idea for myself !

[@kingzlatan12]

30minutes+ for every videos would be great 🤣 i love it guys

[@angiebear8727]

Would love to have a rack like that. Unfortunately my floor wouldn’t be able to take it. Future basement projects. Looks really nice. The lights in back are fun.

[@JiříAlexa]

Hey, you totally killed with these bad boys. Thumbs up.

[@FranNoesse]

Please camera up Matt so we can learn how he sets up equipment.

Love the led strips anytime I spend money on them they go out in couple months lol

[@pink_alchemist]

man, this is looking amazing!! I want this. I have a betta hoarder problem and this would just make me so happy lol

[@scrubjay93]

[@leanmachinepainting3966]

Poor Matt doesn't even get a lunch break, has to eat while he works, always at the grindstone.

[@CopperheadCustoms]

I love that Matt just clean ignores your puns

[@kevinschleedorn5521]

Solid Lads! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ethanwilton1602]

If you put a small air stone inside the sponge filter it makes the bubbles smaller and way more silent!!

[@CopperheadCustoms]

Also one side green one side purple and make it a 1 tank (each) at a time scape off competition where the commenters can vote for the winner of each round, or 1 shelf at a time if you dont want it to take a year to complete. Lol

[@dreyyy7837]

Your studio looks cool, your vids inspire me to aquascape my own first aquarium, just need to save a bit this next few weeks and hope by christmas I got my aquarium in my bedroom. looking forward to more relaxing upload from the channel 😊. From Philippines

[@chekuizzudin6168]

Love the finished look of the racking system..... can't wait to see you release the fish into those tanks🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@pamr.5954]

You guys got Misty. I am glad she made a brief appearance before she had to dash.

[@zeb33369]

Yeah, she went to the pub with Annette😅

[@garywilson331]

You can buy the sponge filters that have a section for bio media under the sponge

[@rafameza4186]

Why you don’t build a pvc loop for the air? Is easy, cheap and work so well… for the sponge filters put an airstone on them and they become silent I got 20 tanks and the room is silent

[@ghostebyte]

A German here :D Burping might; 've been polite at one point (probably the Middle Ages, not old enough to confirm that though ;P ) but if you burb nowadays in a restaurant you absolutely WILL get looks. Wouldn't recommend :P But I absolutely LOVE the results

[@dalemcbee6413]

That looks fabulous, great job boys

[@Damian-Davies]

Another awesome video can't wait for the next one!!! We need an hour special soon haha

[@hectordlt1]

We hadn't met Justin yet. Nice fellow.... Just-in case......

[@jonsage5486]

It’s called a burp of approval…..I always deliver one after a roast dinner on a Sunday

[@MMA1701]

Fish rack is looking great. Remark: these sponge filters should have the output just above water. This will also make them silent 😉
