Please do a kuli loach mini maribo moss ball ball pit aquarium!!!!! Just a ton of moss balls in different sizes but mostly tiny ones and a ton of kulis in a big round fish bowl! Maybe with pork chop raspboras

[@kevin1smid]

You should have your kids pick out your next aquascape, just take them to the store and let them decide

[@glenngelvosa4904]

I think someone's impersonating you, named "MDFishTanks1".

[@annamariamusso5108]

Could you PLEASE make the betta fish design a crop hoodie? It's such a beautiful design and I don't want to mutilate a full hoodie!

[@littlenikki9539]

Hey MD, are these owls still available at IKEA or did you pick them up a while ago? I absolutely love them and also because I used to have a barn owl called Titch but he passed away many years ago now but I like getting owl related things in memory of him. ✌️💙

[@Hirijinitus]

I legit open YT every 10 minutes to see if you’ve uploaded something new, in an unhealthy way. Thank you

[@GlassSurfing]

Same... Now that I'm pretty much caught up with all videos. Highlights of my week

[@r.lalmuanawma6778]

lmao same

[@MDFishTanks]

wow, thanks for the support guys.

[@Little_Missive]

I feel you on that. I certainly check way more times in a day than I should. 😅

[@Narjuicy]

Setting up my third tank and just ordered aquatics soil... This is becoming a problem 😂😂😂

[@Deadushka99]

“Week 4 update. Shrimps started to meet around largest Monolith once a week and continue building the sand wall around their settlement”

[@AndrewPayne]

haha 🤣

[@techgirl1337]

MD is single handedly responsible for the 9 tanks in my house. There was 1 before I started watching this channel. One day, I'll head to the UK and I will bee-line straight to Maidenhead Aquatics (I hope yall ship to the US, if not get crackin) simply to spend my hard earned dollars on these lovely people.

[@comando8919]

I started with one in my bedroom and now expending to the living space 😂

[@Ksensibello]

I started with 0 and now I have 7 thanks to this guy 😭😂

[@formulachan]

4 tanks in 4 months. This is an addiction.

[@des8616]

5 tanks in about 4 months. Working on number 6. All small ones, though. ;) But all inspired by MD!

[@tilmanr.3299]

I will definitely visit the shop whenever I come to Great Britain. One of the most important things to see there thb :D

[@glenngelvosa4904]

Those owls remind me of totem poles. They actually look better with the epoxy coating. I've always wondered what your local water parameters are because all your plants are thriving. You always do a great job with your aquarium setups.

[@kevin1smid]

They remind me of Moai from the easter islands!

[@tippyjo5850]

His water parameters are really good. He did a video on it a couple years ago

[@thirstygamez8078]

Here in California reverse osmosis is the best bet for water some water stores have it buy it in the gallons

[@jacksonvillejoe679]

Did anyone think Easter Island? Maybe Owlster Isle is appropriate for this one. Thanks for the great videos and tips!

[@stevenpavan327]

Great video. You and Fish Shop Matt NEED to do a weekly podcast. You could do it from a restaurant/pub and call the podcast "Fish & Chips." You could answer viewer emails and comments and talk about all the latest in the fish keeping world.

[@carolebraswell982]

The colors of the substrate, the plants, the owls and the shrimp all work so good together! Beautiful! 😍

[@HarryHouseGames]

You know, sometimes you really can never get enough of seeing a good shrimp tank

[@IndoorEcosystem]

Reminds me of Easter Island. Really cool!

[@danidix8800]

I’d be excited to see themed (small) tanks that Gracie and/or the other kids each design!! Wouldn’t quite be the same vibe as MDs tanks but maybe a bit of fun and possibly something to go on some of the lower shelves of the racks too!!

[@danidix8800]

Design and help make! Probably would contain some pirate ships or ‘gimmicky’ decorations but a lot of fun I think :) also a Kate tank would be cool and fun to see if/when she ever wants to

[@ramsomasuntheram7831]

Can't wait for the new Buddha statue aquarium. That was amazing

[@BunkoFlakes]

I love the simplicity of this design but the sort of wildness of the planting. Tempting me to set up a tank again after falling out of love with the hobby 🙂

[@shesellsfish]

I actually like the owls darker. Sealing them was brilliant. 👍❤️👍

[@shesellsfish]

The build looks great, but it was really sweet to see the family. It's nice when they can go to work with Dad and see what he does all day. 👍❤️👍

[@DennisLopeman]

MD - my first post - I've been watching your videos NON-STOP for a couple months now! I've gotten the fish-bug pretty hard because of you!! Thanks for that. LOL And well done on the new studio - you have made quite career of this!!! How envious many people must be that you are prosperous doing what you love! I know I am! LOL... I've created 2 solid small (5 and 10gallon) eco/aqua-scapes based on what I learned from you. They are doing GREAT. I have 4 more tanks and will be doing the same in those. One of them will be a shrimp tank. I bought some dragon-stone, as per one of your videos. It's really cool looking and can't wait to build that out! My actual question is about shrimp and is simple... well, the question is simple, but the answer might not be!! I see that you put all kinds of colorful shrimp together and I'm wondering how you choose which genus to mix, or if you even care. I've started research about how to choose, and would prefer not to end up with all brown/gray boring shrimp babies! I saw you had juveniles that seemed true to color. Any guidance would be deeply appreciated. Thank you and keep up the great work. Can't wait to see where you branch off to in the future.

[@suewestby824]

The owls now look like they’re carved out of soapstone - beautiful!

[@hightopshannah]

This tank is sooo cute the owls and shrimp and beautiful! So cute to see the whole fam in the shop working

[@lesleyannehall8040]

Reminds me of the Easter island heads. Sharp intake of breath from the shrimp purists 😂

[@TheDISSHonoredOne]

Your family is adorable ❣Betta tank looks amazing and I like the new owl shrimp tank too 🦐

[@tilmanr.3299]

I immediately thought about this ikea stuff to change the water parameters and I'm glad you addressed that. Another thing: Is your studio now finished? I'm waiting for part 5 building the studio :D

[@mirkkulainen]

Oh, now I need to go to Ikea and try to find those little owls for myself too. :D

[@lorraineoldford8339]

Another great Scape...... And great to see that you've overcome the ph issue..... And showed us how to do it as well..... Your studio is awesome and I look forward to much more content as always

[@laurabustos6560]

Ahhh!! I love it!! I just set up an invertebrate tank for a pair of Bamboo/ wood shrimp, asst neo cardinia and a mystery 🐌. I'm so jealous now!! I'll have to get another tank now!! Also, the owls are reminiscent of Easter Island. Very cool!!! ✌️

[@fbasantajr]

MD, the best part of this build are your children. I think you should do a build with all 3 of them helping you. Thank you from NYC

[@andrew-hf9fl]

I watch all these videos! The beta tank is probably my favorite, but I love the little owl setup. I've thought some like, psuedo- Aztec statues would be neat. Like a flooded ruins. I want that water treatment for the tap water that I use for myself haha

[@carltonbirds]

I like the way you are showing the API products in your new studio, really lovely.

[@alecia5360]

at 0:29 the little yell in the background music made me think dalla dalla was playing lol

[@christopher_scott]

Absolutely amazing as always MD!

[@MDFishTanks]

😂 thanks mate

[@gherghinanandi1984]

Thanks you are a true inspiration for people who love aquatic life

[@stuartlast8156]

Look like the Moai heads on Easter Island !! 👍

[@JerRou89]

I really love the simplicity of this build. Very nice work!

[@yourlocaltoad5102]

That’s really cool! I‘m soon gonna remake the tank my parents have and I think using these Ikea owls (or similar decorative statues) is a pretty cool idea that I could incorporate in that. Altough I‘m probably gonna include some mosses or plants that grow on the statues to give it more of a „forgotten jungle temple“-vibe.

[@oscars85]

It's like an owl easter island shrimp tank.

[@markzig1429]

It is funny, when you first placed the owls in, I thought to myself, "no they should be the other way." Then you changed your mind and placed them the other way. I am a graphic designer and I feel they look better this way. Had the tank been on the right side of the rack, they would look better the other way. Looks good! MZ

[@MDFishTanks]

I studied graphical design at school so maybe that's why I have a bit of an eye for these things...

[@joceslayback1231]

Can you make a video on how you check your tanks and what to do if something is off. Like using ph downer or uppers and the like. Thanks! And love your videos. You got me back into the hobby and with a lot more knowledge.

[@hightopshannah]

Water testing and water changes are probably the first step

[@shonhatley541]

Very different from the normal setup, but I love it. Looks great. I love the shrimp. Keep'em coming MD.

[@mollykeen7696]

Love that you were showing ph and what to do to solve the problem! I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my ph dropping since setting up my tank and can’t figure out why! My tap water is a perfect 7 too!

[@OrionLouis]

love those statues… I was really dreading them going in so dark once you put the resin on, but this tank turned out incredible

[@peanutkinder4609]

The owls look like moai on Rapa Nui. Nice build.

[@TheHoardingPeon]

Super great content as usual ❤️🦐, just be careful if you use potassium as fertiliser since it increases the KH AND ph, Caradina shrimps are very sensitive to kh.

[@sarahenson9659]

What is kh? I’ve heard it mentioned before.

[@aquaticaquariums6979]

@@sarahenson9659 carbonate hardness

[@andreacasoli3371]

I'm not a fan of these manmade objects in the aquarium but I always want to support MD, maybe next time he'll do something I prefer

[@rezuix4]

Ooooo I’m early… I love your videos they’ve helped me out a ton with styles of tanks etc… keep up the great work and keep making content I love to watch your videos throughout the day

[@MrRugbyrucker]

Very Easter Island vibes

[@janetayscue2111]

I love the owls it reminds me of Stonehenge or Easter island wich is Fascinating to me I love old and ancient artifacts

[@karenporter3156]

Great tank, the owls now look more like soap stone carvings rather then concrete. Very nice!

[@melissadeeter1289]

Just started this video and I already love it! I really like a mix of nature and some simple artificial decor. I love your work, such an inspiration!

[@FGDireito]

I have the same owls and for years I've been trying to convince my wife to put them in the aquarium, not even the little one alone, but I guess it's time, I need to buy a new set of owls just for me 😂

[@marlonmarcano3269]

Great build brother, simple but gorgeous. I have a request...( I requested the same from Matthew btw) but due to the lack of availability of much plants in my country, I'd love to see you do a hardscape only build. It will be interesting to see what you and Fish Shop Matt come up with for your individual tanks. Cheers

[@johnlim549]

MD, you need a sofa/bed for occasional visitors and naps 😂

[@jamesbull2422]

How do you store and dry your old substrate to reuse in another aquarium? Do you wash it or let it dry naturally? Love you channel has helped me loads!

[@leannegraham5240]

Cutest family ever!

[@kittyiam2206]

I really enjoy the video of the fish/shrimp at the end of your videos. Great setup!

[@joakimhjelm-svennesen8984]

The owls look remind me of the Easter island statues - mo’ai

Your little girl's so big!! I remember when she was a lil baby, how has it been so long?!

[@Only1Sosa.]

Thank you for being so consistent, excited to watch

[@ThePict]

Love it. Am getting bored of my current Betta set up so may try something similar

[@islandendeavor]

Like a little Easter island.

This is a great tank! I love the shrimp. I haven’t been able to get any locally so I watch for yours!!

It's like Easter Iland😊

Gives stone henge vibes . Love this tank

[@the_supersky]

its like an owl Easter island.

[@GenZBiker]

Those rocks look like a filter haha

[@lesley-annemclelland857]

WOW! MD is creating a variation of Easter Island for his Neocaridina shrimp. The animal world copies the human world huh?🤔😊

[@lukewilliams9876]

Such good music in background of your vids 👍

[@liamridgewell5625]

Amazing, I saw these in ikea the other day

[@growjunkieradio]

Your knowledge is truly appreciated!

[@twagz9704]

Reminds me of eastern island heads

[@lindalee5408]

Very cool, a shrimpy Easter Island!

[@johnVidBozo]

Looking good. You've got an Easter Island vibe going there!

[@MrSuperstar1985]

With that tank next to it you should try a shrimp bridge !! Diffrent colour shrimp and theme on both sides see what they prefer

[@Buddynotok]

You’ve definitely put me on to using more API products but I’d love to see a full test kit with GH/KH!

[@heaven7360]

Seachem is great really. I just buy the test kit whenever I need from API

[@365statesofthought8]

Very nice I love my citric acid baking powder generator!!! Kudos!!!

[@91eml]

Also, a bowl aquarium must not be missing! :)

[@ggoannas]

Gorgeous family. ❤️

[@sandywest4299]

hi MD and family how you doing. great video. i dont think the owls are wicked but really good for that tank. ty for involving us in your adventures in new studio. very awesome work. ty

[@JTs_Garage_]

You should do a red wood forest themed tank! Like always, Love the content!

[@liddybird3608]

I much prefer the darker color for the owls. A nice contrast with the plants.

[@erich5925]

Definitely need a little sound proofing in this new room, there is a lot of reverb coming across, almost too much

[@rainerszahn9651]

cheers mate, one question: isn't the epoxy causing danger/harm to the shrimp colony? was it even neccesary to cover the owls? cheers from germany

[@Paul-044]

The owl's we're a brilliant idea. Great video and content

[@marcdunord]

galloping tackiness! what's next? the pirates' treasure chest that opens when air bubbles accumulate?! :O

[@delarue3198]

Interesting to see with all the ramshorn shells in there how the amonia will be. Probably not as big of a deal as I'm thinking?

[@tonystamford]

You should name this tank "Easter Owland"

[@77slate]

Ah the baking tray made a come back 🤣 bloody hell the kids are getting big too.

[@emg8736]

It looks like something from studio ghibli ❤

[@CraigsOverijse]

is "derpy" even a word love it new word for me. Lovely buold as alaways

I’m a huge fan you inspired me to start my own channel keep up the good work
