[@CrazyAquariumGuy]

Baby kilifish would be AMAZING MATE!

[@RascalV666]

I guarantee you that the wife will engage in videos, to the profit channel much higher in popularity

[@trevsweb]

Kate blink twice if you need help😂😂😂

[@MDFishTanks]

...she's been married to me for 14 years, she definitely needs help 😂

[@Talons_N_Tails]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@McCoolAquatics]

😂

[@trevsweb]

Stockholm syndrome 😂 she's prolly the only one keeping on top of the tank maintenance 🤭

[@cherellzandell]

I suspect that Kate is a very patient and tolerant woman! 😆

[@FranciscoHernandez_2816]

Hey MD I just want to thank you for helping me get into this hobby the right way it’s helped me build my own eco system tank that’s now thriving with plants and fry👍🏽💯

[@MDFishTanks]

Awesome. Great to hear. The methods work and they work well so im glad you are having success

[@gidge6260]

How amazing to have a partner be so supportive of your hobby (now job!). I just find it so heart warming 🥰

[@SubiKinubi]

I’m pretty sure the cash flowing in helps with that

[@roselewis24]

Your wife and daughter are adorable 🥰 the fish aren’t bad either 😉

[@AnubisFenrir]

I love kate being in the video her shyness is so adorable. I can't wait until she is even more comfortable she looks so serious & focus when helping out

[@brockn7878]

I appreciate her giving in a bit. I used to wonder if she was a pain in the ass. ❤😂

[@Justin-fw8tu]

We need a video every day 😂

[@zacharykunzer2823]

It warms my heart to see you and Kate working together now, especially seeing the whole family hanging out too. Kiddos getting so grown now wow time has flown by watching you grow.

[@faedoyle4147]

I absolutely love her participation ❤❤

[@richardevans193]

The new studio is really coming into its own, the tanks look fantastic! Great source of information, inspiration and entertainment. Keep up the good work, your enthusiasm is infectious.

[@norbertthoens3561]

Bei so einer fleißigen Hilfe kannst du natürlich so viele Becken pflegen! 👍Schönen Gruß an diese kleine Maus, die sich ja vor allem für die Schildkröte zu interessieren scheint .. 😃

[@chriscyr4982]

if possible a small diagonal brace on your table, it doesn't have to be big. Even small 90 degree metal braces that screw in underneath the top and onto a leg will keep it much stronger. Looks epic dude !!!

[@grootjnr]

Was thinking the same 👍

[@OVHabitats]

I have a mobile work station in my fish room as well. One suggestion is get galvanized pipe, elbows and floor flanges. Make a handle/ towel bar to make it easier to move the cart as well a good place to keep a towel while working.

[@jacobmabry3319]

You could probably put some sound proofing foam behind the pannels and they wouldn't even be noticed. That would really help with the sound bouncing around.

[@xiethor]

You have such a beautiful family brother. Having your family involved in your business is awesome. Your blessed my friend. Thanks for all you do man.

[@demeo50]

your wife is a lots of help love your videos .JD

[@edwardpinner]

Love the ‘Aquatruck’.

[@leahnichol6665]

I was telling you to put a shelf in the middle or upper middle of the mobile workstation for stuff you don’t need right now but are going to soon. I use a lot of flat surfaces. A person can always use more.😅

[@piacnm]

You are so good at this; constantly getting new ideas and developing the fishroom. Interesting to watch - and love to see its a family project ❤

[@adriand9328]

Looks good, as always. The only thing i can think is, please pre drill before putting the screws in

[@katzolicious]

some shelves and drawers on the trolly would come in handy. And hooks to hang things.

[@chad2point035]

You should call the cart ''the mobile command center''.

[@abhishekdey1630]

This is my dream to build a studio like this. This looks like the place I can spend the whole day happily 😊

[@littlemidwestrebornsdolls]

Kate is very sweet. 😊All the tanks look great. 🌹❤

[@glendavies7824]

Just a suggestion but you could name the trolley Arty Mc-Carty

[@RainbowFish-]

Kate! - Blink twice if MD is keeping you against your will by making you clean fish tanks all day. 🤣

[@TheShark40404]

To get baby killifish it often helps to have some floating plants in the tank to provide cover for the fry.

[@caro0303]

I was wondering, are the goldfish and archer fish coming back? I really liked them😊

[@mothmanlol6263]

Having a whole aquarium studio is my dream I am manifesting this future

[@neilp6496]

i really like these vlogs you have been frequently doing to keep us enlightened and engaged between the bigger build episodes.

[@jawjagrrl]

Nice updates! Seeing your rocket killies reminds me of something Corey at the Co-op said about them years ago - if they don't have a tight lid they will yeet right outta there! One of mine tried to during a cleaning but caught it quickly. They are predatory surface hunters, so they will stay up top a lot... mine do. Supposedly not hard to breed if kept species only. I think snails are getting my eggs. Adults don't predate on the babies, which is nice. Hope you get more... great little fish!

[@leigh8130]

Enjoying these more vlog-style vids lately MD! Love to see what you get up to. The studio is looking great!

[@johntippins]

This thought might be too meta, but what I find interesting is that you changed from a layout common in fish shops (aisles) to a layout for better viewing. It just so happened to ease manageability. I think JD and FishShopMatt should start a store together.

[@pawanmalla1137]

Eagerly waiting to see you and Matt both working together in a project.

[@paulkuder270]

So bummed to have missed you at Aquashella. I live about 4 hrs from Dallas and was hoping to make an impromptu trip to say thank you for introducing me to the hobby.

[@iemp7165]

MOBILE WORKSTATION. Really genius honestly, I was wondering what you were gonna do for a work table since repurposing your old one.

[@CBFish1]

Your studio is awesome, you should do tours 😮

[@badmusic793]

9:39 he just threw the screws on the floor like a maniac LOL

[@rev.jesseabelchristianlife6693]

Love your videos Bro because they are professional and clean, wholesome! I am a Christian Reverend and I don't want content filled with foul language. Your content is always top quality and wholesome! Great job! I have been keeping fish since age 14, and am 45 now. Fish keeping is definitely one of the best hobbies in the world.

[@decentwig5648]

MD whats the biggest tank you would build in the studio? It would be really cool if you built an 8ft or bigger.

[@davidvento5481]

I’ve never seen anything like those “leafy panels” before. They definitely make me feel some kinda’ way...

[@RyanOneil-zk1uj]

Love this little update video style. Hoping to see more of it soon.😊 Suggesting maybe once a week. 😅

[@ZZTalkZZ]

She’s getting big.

[@rettag2020]

Hi Kate and Gracie 👋🥰

[@mindofmx1813]

Hey MD, maybe you could make a scape for the low aquarium, the one you once made a fast stream build for. ( 11:03 ) I think it's going to look great on the table because then you can see the aquarium from multiple angles

[@MrJkillam]

you should replace that leg that is split. drill the hole first then screw. it makes it easier and doesnt split the wood. Also, Denison Barbs, Check them out for a 4 ft tank. and hoping the Mbuna tank is coming soon.

[@AG-jl1yo]

Hello MD, greetings from California. I'm having a hard time growing Christmas moss, I attached some parts of the drift wood and wrapped it with thin fishing line but the moss turned dark and even brown in some spots, the moss on your tanks always look great I could really use some help. Thanks in advance.

[@brockn7878]

Kate. I want to apologize for my negative thoughts. I was worried that you werent a reasonable person and gave MD problems for his passion. Seeing you diving in and supporting him negates my assumptions. ❤❤❤

[@tomtran9442]

I’m building an 8x2x2.5 feet tank…wish you and Matt are in Southern California lol. Been binge watching your videos for ideas and tips.

[@OriginalItsFly]

If you want to help diffuse the sound in the studio you can hang up some diffusers around the room from the ceiling and have some panels in the corners. It'll be pretty difficult to fully treat the room since it's all flat reflective surfaces hence the large amount of reverb.

[@TripleFork]

Seeing MD woodworking is always a crinch moment 😱😱😱

[@jjr2568]

He paints everything black so the cringiness disappears 🤣💯

[@MDFishTanks]

​@@jjr2568exactly...

[@space_ghost_z941]

Love the teamwork! Looks good! ❤

[@Talons_N_Tails]

My Killy fish love to swim in and out of the roots of floating plants ❤ great video!

[@KingsAquariumsAndReptileRoom]

Awesome update video mate! Can't wait to see all these new projects you have coming up in the future 😊

[@sanils7130]

Hai MD so beautiful video presentation.I like it

[@carolebraswell982]

Great update video! Cant wait for the Mbuna build. Kate and Grace are adorable!

[@prycxy8859]

When you drill screws you should make a starting divot with the drill piece first so that you don’t split your wood when you get to the end, it creates a little insert for the cone end of the screw on the underside

[@MDFishTanks]

Of course...but that takes extra time, and I'm not that kind of guy 😂😂

[@prycxy8859]

@@MDFishTanks fair enough mate 🤣

[@BarityOne]

​@MDFishTanks that's why I have two drills, so I can swap without taking the time to change the bit. Lol

[@natep6729]

Dear Kate, blink twice if MD is forcing you to say that😂. Jokes aside, It's nice to see Kate being supportive and helping out witht the maintenance and organisation. I wish my family members showed any interest in my fish tanks.

[@bevwannamaker1119]

Bottom piece is superfluous, should have made it a shelf few inches from the floor. 2 x 4 or whatever size should be on the sides, at an angle will make it even stronger, look at how your metal shelves are constructed.

[@SanjaySivanesan]

You gotta name it “THE workstation”

[@TobiasWeberRSA]

Only thing missing is a huge MD logo over the manta ray

[@ryan_yasin]

peeking a bowl in the background , whatcha hidin MD😝

[@derSonnige]

11:23 Wait he plans to take away Timmy's wheels and isnt even the slightest bit ashamed?

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

When I lived in California I had an aquarium on an old four-legged table at the foot of the bed when an earthquake struck. I woke up as the tank was sloshing back and forth as the legs of the table swayed like a hula dancer right and then left. The light fell into the tank and electrocuted the poor fish as plaster chunks rained down on me from the ceiling. Anyway, I survived, though my fish didn't! Moral of the story: a table with four legs and no braces in between can sway back and forth with the weight of an aquarium on top!

[@MuederJoe777]

Can you do a saltwater tank some day maybe? Would be nice to see how you would takle it.

[@vivekvs1992]

Hi MD.. I don't know a lot about Timmy but have you considered a ground tank with an island like how the green aqua channel has? The circular one?

[@johnnydubbsaquascaping]

Looking good, might be time for a riparium/paludarium build again :):)

[@MrHoopski]

liking the new lay out MD - something to consider - maybe where your racking is now in the corner you can actually buy a corner piece - so as to not have dead space in the corner and you could fit some nano tanks on it ;-)

[@zeb33369]

Or get a triangle shaped corner tank 😉

[@RodParadise69]

Good use of the matt black to reduce reflections and glare. Have you seen Musou Black? One of the blackest blacks known, paint something in it and it looks like a hole in space. Was wondering how good a backdrop it would be for a tank. Thinking neons would glow in front of it.

[@neilp6496]

i think the pane of glass would negate the impact. its why noone has but this on a wristwatch dial... but it would be interesting nonetheless to test out

[@deanoliv2880]

You should have a wild card tank, a salty tank :p

[@stevenharvey2148]

Mbuna rocks rocks rocks

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

Yay, Kate!

[@Andy_Underwood...]

So many activities....!!

[@oliverwatson3774]

I watched one of your older videos yesterday when you hadn’t been in this gallery long and you said you were going to fill the white table with tanks 🤣🤣

[@shaymaanburkatally3544]

Keep us updated weekly about the tanks if possible I like the last two updates

[@theseaworldd]

Well done 👏

[@llgregoryll8634]

any tips for someone whos about to build their first aquarium?

[@TheShark40404]

Lots of plants help to maintain the water conditions as well as providing the fish plenty of hiding spaces. Stem plants are perfect because they are often easy to grow and you can plant the trimmings to get even more!

[@iPhone5244]

Literally every video on this channel is tips on building an aquarium

[@blundeysnipe]

i love the rainbow tank ik you like to try and make every tanj unique but i think a rare rainbowfish tank would be sick can never have enough rainbows

[@zer0pulse156]

Hi MD, may I know what kind of rack is that and where you bought it? thanks in advance.

[@jasonacevedo5629]

Everything is coming along very nicely ! Can’t wait to see the finished scapes ! As for Kate, nothing looks wrong with her at all, very pretty woman. (Remember Kate, use the universal sign for asking for help, open and close your fingers)

[@gardockis.playground]

The tank barn looks different 😅🌊

[@tentyme1]

What type of background was used on that Mbuna tank. What’s the brand ? And is it the same background shown in the beginning of the video on the one empty smaller tank. Thanks for your response.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Looks great MD

[@daniellewylde-wood1960]

Hi MD! Please help! I have a 3 foot tank and I want to put it on wheels what strength do I need??? Thanks in advance xx

Hi Carty the Cart 😂

Hi MD! Can you do a scape with a fluval flex tank? It would be cool to see diff type of tanks!

[@TheRoGoKop]

MD--what kind of reel is that for the tank filling setup?

[@akmalfikri]

She's shy!

[@snowyk94]

Any tips for duckweed removal? I swear I'm a duckweed farmer not a fishkeeper by this point 😂

[@mjw1404mw]

Really good new look for the studio. I have a question for either you or someone in the comments. How do I get rid of beard algae without harming shrimp? The stuff is taking over the tank and all the algae killer I've seen isn't shrimp/snail safe.

[@ziender]

You can spot treat with hydrogen peroxide and a syringe. Be careful not to use too much it can kill everything in the tank. Manual removal might be the safest. BBA is supposed to be related to issues with low CO2 or fluctuating CO2 levels.

[@mjw1404mw]

@ziender Thanks, I'll try that. I've already taken everything out and scrubbed it, so I'll leave it all to settle and then look to get some hydrogen peroxide. I'll look into getting some CO2 in there as well.

[@m.jauhar938]

bro try make an aquascape for a bunch of gold fish.. please

[@zollyActingandTheater]

Where do you get all your hardscape from? Also if anyone in the comments has a good place or idea please share!!

[@shonhatley541]

MD, please don't make the new Timmy tank setup a 15 minute video. I can't say for everyone else, but I would love to see a "full on" hour + video of the Timmy tank setup. Timmy isn't just a tank setup for some new fish, and I don't feel that way about any of your new setups. I love them all. I just feel that he's family, and deserves the time invested in the making of a new home. I'm Just speaking as one of your oldest fans. Love this update and please keep'em coming.

[@MandyJane123700]

Looks great!
