[@vikkirountoit497]

Hey MD, where can I find the build video you are recommending at 17:08? I can't find it on ADG yt channel - am I looking in the wrong place?

[@Alpha010t]

9:40 wow.... look at this... vertical tank my personal fev...❤

[@onelifetolive4]

MD Hit a grand slam with this video, so much information and various tank styles to expand our minds to create our own scapes.

[@kilrkitty0818]

Beautiful tanks and amazing scapes BUT can we talk about this man's Voice! He really needs to get into voice acting or Audio book reading 🥰 that voice is smoother than silk

[@MDFishTanks]

Literally told Jeff this when I was with him. 😂😂

[@aquablaster86]

For a second, I thought it was like an A.I voice over or something lol he has the perfect voice.

[@k.iskandar]

Holy smokes this channel has grown quite abit since last year. Always entertaining. Keep it up Michael Douglas Fish Tanks

[@rajeevpandalai5248]

@17.06 the filter trick that you mentioned - can you give us a link to that ?

[@greenlaner]

+1

[@domo447895]

I am so happy I am a local and get to come here on my off days. Being able to see these tanks in real life is just a different experience than seeing images. The detail, the maintenance, THE LIFE OF IT ALL!

[@tetraguytx1705]

That's my fish store! If you enjoy aquascaping, having a shop like ADG near you is a blessing. It's a high end shop and it's the best in Texas, maybe in the whole U.S. Their selection of hardscape is just magnificent. And the fish are healthy and well cared for. ADG is a gem of the hobby.

[@TexasTuesdays]

After watching this video, I will be planning a trip soon. Heading down from north Texas. These tanks are amazing!

[@danlerdrup863]

Might be the best in the world. I have not seen anything like ADG in Europe😮

[@karnage3809]

It’s crazy to think but I’m literally 20 mins away from them 😂 and if you’re into terrarium/ paludarium the bio dude is also near by

[@PrizedGarbage]

My favorite store to shop at!! I could spend all day at this place. Everyone there is wonderful!

[@pagewhite61]

MD, thank you so much for bringing this to us. What an incredible place! The tanks are stunning, I love all the different styles. I can’t wait to see how this inspires your work.

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

Jeff has an awesome radio voice. Oh and he has some nice tanks too.

[@4EvaFishNerd]

Beautiful! 😍 My fave is the little one in the corner with the long branches coming out of it! Genius! 😍😍😍

[@karlidomingo]

I don’t normally comment on this stuff, but the audio is AMAZING. PODCAST LEVEL 💯

[@alexandredeoliveira8075]

I don't see his microphone, is he wearing one ? It almost sounds like the recorded everything in a studio. So good it's weird ! Plus the owner has a great voice

[@Azooscott]

I remember drooling over ADG like 15 years ago, glad to see they are around and evolving.

[@Skumskammen]

Awesome video! Love their Tanganyikan tank! The cichlid at 24:24 is a "Callochromis melanostigma", very good looking and fun cichlid to keep.

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

As a modern canvas artist - I do find SUCH art in aquarium building too. Just beautiful and so alive and vibrant. xx

[@ozzyheather9242]

Would love to hear more about the veterinary treatment for the goldfish!

[@maninahole]

I can’t believe how far you’ve come. I used to watch your videos back in the shed days, then you started to grow and made a few videos with G.Farmer. Now your channel is way bigger than his, and much more interesting IMO. You’re now the British aquascape king! And you live just up the road from me which blows my mind!

[@JerryCaraviotis]

Can't believe I missed meeting you MD, ADG is one of my go to fish shops, been a customer for years (been a customer's of Don for close to 40 years; he is The Man). Shop is about 20 minutes away, great folks. Glad you had a good time in Texas!

[@jbunchbball]

The clear inlet and outlets for filters are such a subtle touch that they almost aren’t worth mentioning, but it eliminates one of the “necessary” distractions from tank. I’ve gotten so many ideas, and now a very practical addition I can do now that will have a huge impact. Thanks!

[@metamario9728]

Man I love that shop. I travel all over the US for work and ADG is the nicest aquarium shop I’ve ever been to

[@stevenkakarides9006]

The best video viewed for 6 months. Congratulations!!! Thanks for the entertainment.

[@jhaych]

He's not wrong about reefing! I pretty much oook after my equipment and the corals and fish sort themselves out pretty easily!

[@beyond2809]

I love ADG! I bought a ton of hardscape from here for my 75 gallon. I could live in that space! I’m just sorry I missed you. You’re the main reason I got back into the hobby. I’ll try to catch you next time around.

[@paigebrasington7918]

It was awesome to meet you at ADG and to learn about this amazing shop. Planning to go here to set up my first tank soon!

[@taylorhale1035]

Thanks for the introduction to ADG! Living in the states and Ive never come across them. Love seeing the diversity and growth of your channel. Keep it up mate!

[@MattStrike]

MD is a top G for sure.

[@Beaster565]

I live an hour from this store. It’s truly amazing! Kind staff, good stock!

[@toveycen4668]

One of the best show room I have seen for a long time.

[@endur5nce]

I luv how open their gallery shop is

[@stxrm1228]

Have you changed something with the audio? Sounds like a podcast almost LOL. Anyways good vid as always MD!!

[@space_ghost_z941]

Those rainbows are gorg ❤

[@jeromelao9857]

I have seen and repeatedly watched these amazing video and all featured aquariums a thousand times. An everlasting reference for every aquarist.

[@davidferrero3055]

Jesus Christ everything single tank is straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 but that Tanganyikan tank is out of this world amazing

[@DNASlotCars]

What an epic store this is! The crazy part about it is we live 30 minutes away and I was acquainted with Jeff through other endeavors. Little did we know of this side! We're aquarium mad here, and it was thx to you MD that we found out! Otherwise we may have never known! This store has influenced me to make a huge change in my 400 gal setup. aquariums. Fantastic work to everyone involved. Bravo @aquariumdesigngroup 👏

[@earlcee7]

Now this it IT!! Loving the designs!

[@Orlandohaschanged]

It's such an inspiration to see how much their shop has evolved and wow is it something!! So beautiful and all the tanks look just amazing. All the photography and art.. so many great displays.

[@steve-adams]

I suspect that tank at 15:00 will continue thriving because there's so much surface area for beneficial bacteria and and plant life. I could easily be wrong, but I have a feeling it'll be more self-sustaining because of the natural elements. What a beautiful piece.

[@oilucky1]

its either the mic or Jeff's voice but he was made to be an announcer or some sorts hahah it's so soothing to listen to

[@darrylmoore5847]

Just incredible, amazing place and owner.

[@aqhan]

You should really try your hand at saltwater. It's such an interesting challenge. I recently started and I'm completely hooked!

[@richardbrownmusic101]

This is awesome, I hate that I missed you coming to Houston! Do you think you will come back again? Me and my wife have been watching your videos for a long time

[@CarstenEggers-km6nw]

What Video does this refer to? Is there a link? Sounds interesting 😮 17:03

[@suiso2]

Great seeing ADG doing good after all these years. They were the first US based company about 20 years ago to be the first official supplier of Aqua Design Amano products. Looks like they have moved on a bit from ADA, but still keep the style, and feel. Awesome shop!

[@jeanl.2357]

Great video tour of an amazing store that I hope to someday visit. I have recently come across Jeff’s podcasts and have been working my way through them where he briefly touches upon “greening,” first I’ve ever heard about it and might be my next tank setup. It’s nice you have drilled in his term in all our minds 😂

[@dr-k1667]

Amazing tour MD. There was so much to look at and drool over. I can see you doing tanks like this at some point. I really enjoyed the combo of a shallow tank with plants growing up at the top. You did something like that for Timmy! I am sure you head is bursting with new ideas. I can't wait to see them!

[@tracllyle]

Haven't been back in a while. I definitely have always enjoyed this store, I will definitely have to make a trip back out there. Glad to see they are continuing to grow beautifully.

[@HomemadeEcosystems]

I want one! These are awesome

[@Mike14U2NV]

Your in my favorite store!!!! Been watching you for years and glad you made it to my area. Be save and stay hydrated. 😊

[@ryanorlandaofficial]

Amazing Store and i hope to visit there someday.

[@overlandtowater]

@9:41 That is inspiration there, I have a 47 gallon column that appears to have the same proportions I know that is much smaller but imagine that blown up to reach 47 gallons🤯

[@stopwars8642]

The sculpture like one was very nice, amazing place love all the tanks

[@marktopp745]

WOW. Amazing. I thought I had a great set up with my South American hardscape. But the big tank with the Angel fish blew my mind. Make myself want to kick it up a bit. Amazing video.

[@wistyfish9844]

Love the shallow tanks with emerged plants. Would love to build one, I just don’t think I have room for it. I’ll live vicariously through you guys

[@mittenista]

Plus, if you have cats, toplessness is just asking for trouble.

[@EmielMess]

Could you link the video about the filter trick, great shop 👍

[@gr4653]

Прекрасное пособие по вписыванию аквы в интерьер! Очень красивые аквариумы! Спасибо!

[@ReneKRAKOWSKI]

Eleganckie I wspaniale mini dzieła natury i sztuki akwarystycznej❤

[@jefreybarnes5457]

I really love the minimalist look here in a lot of the tanks.

[@codewithkam]

0:29 they look so friendly :D

[@chyefun]

thanks for the share and intro to ADG, an absolute gem, and more than happy to dig through their content

[@hillfoxtc]

The fact that I saw “Texas” and googled where in Texas it was and I came to realize it’s 15 minutes from my apartment is wild. Definitely stopping by to check it out.

[@davidnicholls8521]

Finally, a reason to visit America ! Absolutely amazing.

[@shel.b.1090]

Nope all to clinical for me, I prefer to give the fish a more natural environment than match the scape with the minimalistic fashion of decor. But each to his own. That said super video MD xxxx

[@davidhunternyc1]

Gorgeous tanks! My favorite though was the Iwagumi tank. So pure. So beautiful.

[@andystokes8702]

@6.00 - look at the piece of rock on the shelf - it's Edvard Munch The Scream.

[@juancarcamo1541]

Hey you were in my neighborhood ❤ cool that you stopped by!

[@lucktrevor8]

Cool galery, so many style for my inspiration tank,,, and i love the small tank, minimalistic nd aesthetic

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Absolutely beautiful, interesting, & stunning designs.

[@marykalter13]

please look into collating with predatory fins, country critters, modern aquarium, or other long island (new york) places! i think you'll quite like the atmosphere around new york and there's some pretty cool aquarium shops around the area

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

Wow that was amazing 🤩. Thank you for the visit.

[@jamalalmulla1355]

Fantastic museum Quarion I think too much expensive but really genius Gwar yom thank you very much.

[@valeriee9532]

Absolutely awesome video!!! Love it ❤️❤️❤️😎🇺🇸

[@induwarabandaraandallthigs7034]

3 feet tank is good or not for a community planted tank ❤or 4 feet

[@faunasanctum]

after watching your most recent video announcement, i can see where inspiration struck ;) Love what you do, and i throroughly enjoy seeing you and matt just enjoying the hobby and each others company, its wonderful to see :)

[@TerryLestrange]

Super beautiful aquariums. I mean the designs are 10/10. Do you never have troubles with open aquariums though? Fish jumping out. Same with shrimps and snails? And dirt/dust from outside entering your tank ?

[@dylanstewart5580]

these guys are local to me and I never knew until I saw it here

[@flongardwirrsinn696]

Great gallery! One question that inevitably comes to my mind seeing these open tanks with such high water level: Do they ever experience fish jumping? It looks great filled right up, but when I do this, it greatly increases the risk of fish loss, even though I only keep nano fish! Have you asked them?

[@kelly-bo-belly]

All but one of ours are open top. I have not had fish jumping, but some species of fish absolutely do jump. The one we have a glass top on is the rainbow fish tank, because ours attack their food. Water goes everywhere. 😑 The biggest thing is that the water evaporates faster with no lid. If you want a lid, you can get them for a rimless style tank. It’s just a specialized clip that you use to hold the top.

[@MandyJane123700]

So cool! I would love to go there and wander around.

[@MJAquariums]

We have been a long time subscribers MD and it’s awesome seeing how your channel has grown. That said not a huge fan of this sort of fan boy video. Your down to earth manner is why many people love your content, don’t get caught up in the “wanky” US style stuff. Just my two cents! :)

[@yinka661]

Absolutely great ….but how do you clean the tank eventually? Also I guess the filtration device is actually no longer in the tank?

[@leem200]

Oh, the tanks are so well done absolutely stunning. I am just starting a 30 gallon. Do not have that kind of money for it right now but may in the future be able to do it. I am doing plants but more like starter plants for I have to learn all of it. Thank you for sharing this with us. He has great design. Peace!

[@ducoop7945]

Im lucky enough to live near this shop. Its a great place to stop by.

[@julianeasily]

Amazing what you guys do with aquariums. Quite an inspiration!

[@sabarishselvarajan5312]

Do you know what routine meds the goldfish are prescribed to mitigate swim bladder and gut problems?

[@cking8776]

Off the 🪝 content!!! Your creativity will surely expand! Thx for the awesome content!!! Matt must be envious!!!👍💯👍

[@hayleygordon7969]

This place is amazing! Some great inspiration, love the no substrate ideas

[@jimgreen83]

An amazing gallery/shop, thank you for sharing.

[@johnbrand1893]

That 33.22 mins just flew by, the video was that good, it kept my interest throughout, thank you for a fascinating watch. 👍 I’ve liked and subbed on the back of this video. 👍

[@XxXtdreaperXxX]

If you go down the simple Saltwater set up its fairly easy can run it dirtier all the soft corals don't care and seem to thrive more with the higher nutrients that and things like Zoanthids growing in a garden of different colors is always a seller for me which is why I did it. basically start with the easy stuff lots of colors some are extremely expensive but you can make money back on any over growth.

[@auralplex]

what kind of background are they using on the tanks? Is it frosted back? And are they using a light with it?

[@NightShiftLabs]

Hey there! Very curious ability your biweekly medication treatment for your ranchu/oranda tank. Mind sharing the secrets to a fellow keeper? ❤

[@Doktracy]

Id love to see you do a tank with some carnivorous plants just above the water. I live in North Carolina,in the area where many carnivorous plants are native and some are becoming endangered.

[@oqstudio]

Beautiful, really love the gold fish , can you share link where did you get them ? And what’s medication you use to keep them healthy? Thank you!

[@ds617]

It's so cool! I'm just wondering how they handle the algae growth in their tanks, especially on the surface of rock and drift wood?

[@haseebnedarya4327]

These are my kind of tanks...I personally don't like coverin entire wood with plants and mosses and what not. Beautiful tanks ❤❤

[@Catcher_3rdGorilla]

What stood out to me was the comment "I should educate myself on...." A teacher who is always a student will always be a teacher.

[@restfulguide9970]

I want to plant my aquarium heavy, do you think it is better to take out the gravel substrate that has been there for a few years or restart and put in a better substrate? Any advice helps

[@neilp6496]

heavy planting... yes, redo the substrate. most of MDs videos will give you the proper tutorial

[@sugershakify]

Believe it or not, Jeff and Mike's studio/gallery/office 30 years ago on West Alabama was even cooler. Have to hand it to them for getting me into vivariums, paludariums, and dart frogs back then.

[@jayv1903]

Some awesome tanks!!

[@jayv1903]

The greening concept looks really good

[@stevenJEDI3]

Beautiful tanks great shop can I ask what medications are you giving the Oranda’s as they’re to Fish, I keep and I have a lot of issues. Also like to get a bit more information if I could

[@AriesArriesgado]

This is heaven!!! amazing creations! thank you for showing this for us to enjoy it.
