[@antonycrompton1193]

Where can I buy your plants???

[@durst101]

Video 40 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.

[@terryd4025]

My heart sank when you added that big stump of wood - I thought, ' oh no, that'll never work' - but you proved me so wrong. What a brilliant tank, Well done! Plus that overhang at the back looks so good, and so natural for the fish to hang. If I had a big tank I would do that now. too. Super.

[@ms_katia2267]

Beautiful

[@stevecooper6653]

Very very expensive piece of wood I’d say £300-£450 ?

[@jamesbonelli9680]

I think this is the most dramatic tank, absolutely love it. I'm going to try it on my next build.

[@quarterfriedwithdirtyrice8108]

I'm haven't even made it to the end of the video but this is already a brilliant build! ... I'm far too old to be a "fan boy" but, damn, you have created a masterpiece! You're moving up into a nature doco videographer as well - that bit at the end with the music and great shots of the fish enjoying the environment was mesmerising! The only thing missing was narration by Sir David Attenborough!

[@Aquariumike]

I absolutely love how you’ve transformed your maloi cichlid tank into a stunning aquatic scene. The attention to detail in the hardscape and the vibrant colors of the fish create a captivating underwater world!

[@GFHill]

The tank is amazing!! The fish blend well. My wife and I, have learned more from you in one month, than all the books and programs out there!!

[@ExpensiveKoala]

I think this one has to be my favorite tank of yours this year. Really dramatic! It's like an art piece!

[@agathaknive3321]

Sooo prettyyyyyy.

[@jasonweber9601]

Absolutely stunning. You continue to outdo yourself always pushing the boundaries to create true aquatic works of art. As always I look forward to seeing what you create next.

[@sbkpeace.24]

Yes! More themed tanks please

[@mellie4174]

Yes!

[@jaronjaronvandenheuvel1007]

11:53, there is a face of an old man on the lower right side of the hardscape. Looks awesome. Even more when the scape is done.

[@floyd776]

A tank that will grab everybody's attention ,one of the best you have done in my opinion

[@greenwatertheory-rv3te]

This is one of the most beautiful tanks I’ve seen so far. Your progress since the shed days is incredible, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

[@ThePatrickkiefer]

Man you really have outdone yourself with this tank. It is beautiful!

[@natitougaku7912]

OMG ! This is soooo beautiful. The tree stump, so little plants and dragon stone, this is amazing, you got a talent and keep surprising us. Thank you.

[@oguzhanselcuk4776]

He is the Bob Ross of the aquariums!!

[@KeepItFishyyEG]

That was exceptionally breathtaking. No matter what the na sayers say. Amazing taking notes.

[@afdarzarif1230]

i believe this is the best one that you have setup..loving the colors

[@vparish6271]

I cannot stop watching this tank. It's mesmerizing. The darkness beneath the overhang, wow, what an area. The drama!

[@Weldinggoggles]

This is definitely my favourite red tank you've ever done!

[@mariamasilela5319]

This is beautiful. I'm a beginner and have been following you for inspiration and WOW!!!

[@gertinewoord1887]

I think some really shiny silver colord fish would be great in this tank.

[@Foogle..]

Red is my favourite colour and I love this tank 😀 Great work MD.

[@Manx36]

Beautiful tank mate, next level, this is now my favorite tank that I’ve ever seen you do, the drama is amazing.

[@mrspecks945]

I love the more natural heavily planted tanks but as a nerd lol,this is AMAZING!!!

[@brentpearce1516]

Beautiful build! I really appreciate the way that you never settle, and keep working and tweaking until its just right.

[@MikeFish316]

nice build MD!

[@mathildakd1]

Love the build! Usually find red tinted ligt annoying for the eye, so would love to see it with the normal color temperature some time. Love your channel!

[@c0d3r1f1c]

I like naturalistic tanks best, but this one looks really amazing. I never would’ve thought I’d like red sand so much.

[@doloresmanning9619]

This is now my favorite aquascape. Awesome tank design!

[@firebatfit]

Thats gotta he the most unique looking tank and aquascape ive ever seen! Spectacular!!

[@heatherhowell]

I would love if you made a few recordings of your fish tanks like you did in the last few seconds of this video. A few hours of tank and music that we could put on as background noise and TV. Your tanks are lovely to look at all day long.

[@awvanroon]

Michael Scott reminded me to hit the Like button, though I would of smashed it at the completed scape anyway. It is an absolute piece of art that! I have a two week oldish red colour themed tank with the plants only just starting to settle in nicely when I just couldnt find that je ne sais quoi that seems to be missing. It wasnt even the Chili rasbora I decided against getting to go with the red cherry neocaridina in this 40L tank; it was the soil. Definitely popping a red gravel cap in that scape tomorrow! Never thought I'd be popping any caps. Look what you made me do. And cheers for that.

[@giggiwidit5638]

I really didn't think that that HUGE bit of wood was going to look good. But as always MD proved me wrong. Which just reinforces what MD says ... 'Trust in the process' ... GREAT VIDEO !!!

[@mishao3215]

Another magnificent scape. Very striking! I was so excited with that piece of wood and then the placement of the dragon stone. Bravo sir!

[@DaveAkaCeladris]

I finally took the plunge and got a good light that you featured in the recent video series, and got 4 new plants for a well-established tank with Rainbow Fish and a couple green corydoras. I'm looking forward to seeing how the plants do with the new light! Thanks for the inspiration! Also, I'm so glad you mentioned not to bury the rhizomes! I had to dig mine up and attach them to things the right way. :)

[@MrHillbilly]

This tank is amazing! Strong work my friend! 💪🏻

[@misterluke4]

I am just going to say it, straight away it is eye catching. so beautiful❤

[@RapDwaTrzy]

Daaaaamn those bites you've smashed on the floor fits sooooooooooooooo great! It's amazing aquascape! When i'm thinking that you litteraly cannot scape better you comming with another video with better aquascape every time! GREAT WORK! BLESS YOU!

[@JacksonTownsend-nh8gg]

I really love the all red design theme. I just did something like this with a small 6 gallon tank. Also - I can't be the only person who thought the duck sound was hilarious....

[@leviduve4001]

Not something I'd do with my own tanks, but I can still appreciate the beauty of it!

[@drdoolittlefishhobbyist6055]

I think this is my favourite tank you’ve done. The colours are amazing and so calming. Great job .

[@RapDwaTrzy]

You are defenetly doing much better with video editing! Progress is noticeable (at least for me), great work, as always. All the best!

[@CleverNerdPun]

That's a statement tank! Wow, really beautiful and different. It's amazing how you can use all sorts of materials that you've used before and create something totally new.

[@woollakoushik5928]

One of your best setups❤

[@coelacanth9311]

I had my doubts when you started this tank but it turned out great!

[@CementJuice]

One of the most dramatic tanks you done . Very cool 😎

[@insainbassist]

Literally just started rewatching GoT a couple days ago lol. Love your tanks man!

[@tacticalwarriorviking5089]

Always loved the Synodontis. I'm so glad to see you have some.

[@davidferrero3055]

Like someone already said this is a great scape for very silver fish they'd stand out great ! Loving this concept

[@ailine5121]

If you told me this is Caelid I'd believe you! Looks awesome!

[@bekhasilzhan1989]

Прекрасный аквариум, очень круто получилось! ❤ 💥💥💥

[@Brockolii]

Love the Elden Ring comparison. This is very much a piece of Caelid lol

[@malinryden3099]

Wow, this is one of the most beautiful tanks I have seen!

[@nocturnebloom]

this is beautiful!!!! probably the most beautiful tank i've seen

[@markpegler3277]

Absolutely stunning tank looks unreal . If the fish seem happy then they are happy .

[@caymangibb8417]

A spiny eel would look awesome in this tank, and though a fire eel would fit the vibe and look cool,; would get too big. I'd love to see MD do and eel tank just once :)

[@mellie4174]

Yeeeessssss!

[@RanaHeidari-u4g]

Love the build! Just one safety suggestion - try putting rocks inside of a sock or something similar before breaking them. Not only will you keep everything together, minimizing clean up, but you also significantly reduce the amount of shrapnel/dust in the air, making the process safer overall. Hope this helps! Goggles also aren’t a bad idea 😁🐠💕🥽🔨

[@Rose_A]

By far my favorite tank so far!

[@lisabrewer7825]

The fantasy lover in me is really into this tank. I also love a red tank so big fan.

[@southjerseyhxc41]

One of if not my favorite set up that I someday want to mimic. But with my twist! Awesome job!

[@thecopperbroom3657]

Now that is one gorgeous tank! I really like this one. I usually like everything you do but this one is special!! Nice job!!

[@YellaBellaReno]

I dunno. When you added the blue of the shale, that really kicked it up to another level for me. It was very alien-looking at that stage, and I think I would have rolled with that, leaning into more blues and blue-greens. But I get that wasn’t the prompt for this tank. Maybe something to consider for a future build? An alien planet tank with more exotic stock? Perhaps a fire eel? Man, it’s too bad channa are a no-go in most places. Can you imagine the bright blues and oranges of an ornamental channa against a backdrop like this? Sigh.

[@postshawn]

Not gonna lie, was really liking the wood standing straight up creating an island feel. But still a stunning scape as usual!

[@Izzdawg-fp1si]

Stunning! The other red tank was cool but this one is very dramatic

[@jacksonpapatu9920]

Chunks would look nice in there. 👀

[@hanreswanepoel1166]

Beautiful!

[@dimitrisdinopoulos2861]

huge improvement than how it was before

[@quangmai7250]

Simply stunning ❤

[@FactionalSky]

This looks so good! Now I want a red one too.

[@bonniegoodwin5653]

Wow! That must have been so much fun to create. You just keep coming up with new and unusual things and it works! Visually it’s a stunning tank, and so different from everything else you’ve done so far. You never cease to amaze me!

[@SuperSonfish]

MD!! I would definitely recommend Cryptocoryn Bronze or red! Or tropica It would go so great for fires!!🔥 This tank looks so unique and refreshing! I love it. Good job Md!

[@teeribbzz11]

This is one of the top 3 tanks you ever done. ✅ super sick I still like the archer fish tank a lot as well! We need an update on that tank!

[@LordChumbley]

Cool tank. Love the choice of slate detail stones.

[@aprilfurcean8302]

A tank with a 100+ rummy nose tetras would be cool!

[@robertattard5473]

This is my favourite tank this year so far ❤ great work MD! Amazing build, just what I needed to relax tonight 👌

[@Fuseddd]

Gorgeous tank!!! I loveeee when a tank has hardscape that makes it look like it's own little world, you really captured that here

[@andrewyeats1787]

I love this coloration. May have to try this on a smaller scale with one of my nano tanks!

[@MissChelle]

Looks like the Aussie outback! Cool tank 🇦🇺❤️

[@miniscenesgb]

Stunning scape

[@JeffreyBowers-zk3vs]

i will shout it from the rooftops MD is the fish bae😎

[@stephenlaw1782]

I really liked this Fantastic use of hardscape

[@MeanOldLady]

Yeah, I like the aquasoil in bags for those diggers. ^^ I imagine you can do the same with compost soil by making landscape fabric bags & putting those inside the mesh bags, since the former are a bit fragile, so that it would contain most of the tiny bits.

[@adrianwroblewski8990]

Amazing tank ! And finaly somethink different than just stuffing the tank to the rim with free plants

[@HistoryofWesteros]

You are speaking my language!

[@Thomas-lr5kw]

Ahhh, the good old paper towel slap....brings me back😅

[@anandasouthard7760]

I love this one! It turned out great. Sometimes you have to just trust your artistic vision and see it through. Even when it seems risky.

[@ericbrown4681]

Music selection is top tear

[@TalisaAquarist]

What a dramatic tank! ❤️😍🔥

[@HighkeyLazy]

ive watched soo much MD i recognize all the (most) hardscape individually

[@heathersweitzer2899]

Love the music on this one! Great tank 🎉

[@rettag2020]

This tank is absolute FIRE 🔥 ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥🔥

[@leedibiasio9229]

This is a sublime scape

[@Kenzierose93]

Love it! Only thing I don’t like is the gray detail stones. Throws it off for me.

[@stephanr8507]

A "Lord of the Rings" scape would be awesome! 😊

[@daltonpatterson8965]

I won't lie, for a minute there all I could see was a graboid(Tremors movie ft. Kevin Bacon) lol. Still, love how it ended up. Another great scape!

[@ProjectDodds]

this looks amazing it makes me want to start my tank again

[@sandywalter9728]

STUNNING TANK!!! ❤

[@leeboy212]

thats a belter of a set up love the vibrante reds

[@PredictableEnigma]

This is such a cool fantasy/scifi build. I ADORE it for how creative it is

[@The_Flopping_Fish]

Awesome build!
