Perfect timing. I have a week off and feel the need to either redo a tank or get a new one.

[@durst101]

Video 39 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.

[@PikaRaichupikapika]

Suggestion You might want to do something about the wood piece you snapped because it was a bit too big, Betta might rip it's fins on that because where you snapped it it is sharp there now. You could place a mini filter sponge on it though to cover it up.

[@samuelburgess4440]

Great video, I stumbled across your channel last night and now im looking for the Panorama 35 tank online.... do you know of any online retailers that can ship within the uk? Thanks

MD: I am the fish store now

[@tobifieldhouse8316]

Was surprised to see MD go to my local garden centre Cadbury where I buy my fish. They’re great guys there. Great content cheers MD

[@SteveStucko]

Hi MD, I can't believe nobody in the comment section mentioned that you had the blue (night mode) light on when you first turned on the light after scaping the tank. THAT'S why it looked "purple," as you said. All you needed to do is put it back to the white (day mode) setting and things would look normal. I'm sure you probably realized that by now, but you should let your audience know. As always, you rock and remain the best scaping channel on KZbin.

[@taylortisaac]

Is this true? Do you have the tank? I have got lights before in these combo tanks and they sometimes only have the stupid purple mode.

[@adam6260]

I have a superfish and it's clear that MD got the light settings wrong.

[@taylortisaac]

@@adam6260 interesting. I’m sure the manufacturer will be upset haha

[@emilyjane61]

[@bmusic0912]

I stumbled across MD a few months ago when I was really getting into fish tanks. Now I have 4 fish tanks and a shrimp bowl and can’t get enough of this channel!

[@michaellavella2377]

I stumbled on him and it's what got me into them. I started with a patio pond, am cycling a proper 10 gallon, and got a 20 long on sale I'm going to tackle after the ten is good. And I have four ideas in my head I want to do after that. Aquascaping is a hell of a drug.

[@bmusic0912]

@@michaellavella2377 Yea I know! I started with a 10 gallon he had for years. I decided to properly scale and plant that. Then it turned into an 8 gallon cube for a betta and white clouds. Then a 10 long for small tetras, and then a 40 gallon goldfish planted tank. I just received a batch of shrimp in the mail to put in my planted fishbowl and they are loving it. So amazing(except my mom says no more fish tanks until in an adult 😭)

[@truthtalker3078]

Omg same i literally wait for new Videos every day

[@xFunkEx]

TIP FOR US PEOPLE: I bought a superfish aquahome 30 on eBay because I loved MD's video on the aquahome. What I did not realize is that even with the proper plug converters it is not getting the proper amount of power because our plugs have lower voltage. Due to this my filter doesn't run quite as well as it should. I haven't had any major problems but if you were to get a bigger tank with a more beefy filter it could pose a problem. Love the content, keep it up! You should do an all amazon build next.

[@jstoeck784]

We run a different frequency than Europe. This messes up not only power but any timing features.

[@adelinawarriner6259]

thats the difference between 50 and 60 hz.. as voltage and frequency is difference.

[@thatroykid]

I really wish Superfish was available in the US

[@mrcure23]

I know I feel like MD needs to push this with them. They would be making many sales off his viewers alone. They have a high end look with a beginner budget. My wife’s huge sticking point is how tacky aquariums can look but these all have nice modern looks.

[@brandhark7935]

They're on the way! Maybe a few more months...?

[@mrcure23]

@@brandhark7935 Is there official confirmation? I kind of noticed in the video he said ‘yet’ when talking about their availability in the US, but didn’t watch the video super diligently

[@noodlechild666]

Very diplomatic over the fact the built in light is absolutely horrendous. Such a shame, as its not a bad looking tank, and very affordable.

That tank is beautiful. I like rimmed tanks alot. Its like a beautiful frame for aquascape. We just recovered from a hurricane and no power for 8 days striaght. It was so hot hot here in H-town USA but plants saved my fish and they survived. Planted tanks are evetything. Thankyou M.D. for sharing all your planted tank knowledge.

[@michaellavella2377]

Oof. Glad your fish made it through. As a brother from across the Gulf I've been in that power outage situation in the past. It sucks.

[@peaoat3608]

America needs to step up. The aquarium hobby is struggling here aside from only a few areas. Piecing together a tank is a daunting process where I live.

[@michaellavella2377]

I agree. My area is pretty built up and I've only got two aquarium stores within an hour, and none of the products I see on KZbin are available here. As a newbie picking equivalent products online is a little daunting so I'm going with the suggestions of the fish store I go to. When it comes to fish it's either go with the limited stock at the store or pay for shipping. I would kill for a Maidenhead store like MD has.

[@Jennifer-nz2ss]

Hi! I'm in Frisco,Texas and it's nearly impossible to get supplies here too! Very sad as I'm trying to start another but, having a hard time finding equipment

I have just added aqua soil into my Betta Aquarium and already I can see growth in just under a week, thankyou MD you inspired me to do so, much love

[@timberry4709]

About three weeks I set up my first nano cube (12"x12"x12") after 30 years out of the hobby. Your videos help a lot setting it up. I now have 6 pygmy corys, 6 endlers (who are already spitting out fry), and 12 neo shrimp that I just added. I never see more than 3 shrimp at a time but they are all probably living in my Sargasso Sea of water lettuce. I have already had to scoop out a handful of the stuff. Twice! And it looks like it's time to do it again. That stuff just won't stop growing! I just wish I could find someone who wanted some, I hate throwing out perfectly good stuff. Thanks for the great videos. Very entertaining and informative.

[@mcgoo721]

Its a fun tank to setup out of the box, and then its easy enough to sort of kit bash into something different!

[@matthew114]

id love to see some builds where you have a strict budget and try to make a great aquarium if you're interested in doing that

[@shaymaanburkatally3544]

Good to see the beta after a long time❤

[@The_Crucible714]

This one KZbinr restored a large, hexagonal, cast iron, Victorian pedestal aquarium and had a male betta “fraternity” with eight -or more male bettas. He said the number of fish (he had other species like large angels, discus, cardinals, etc), combined with the plantings breaking the line-of-sight in the large tank made it possible for them to live harmoniously. I’ve never seen a group of male bettas being housed together before.

[@kramo8376]

I followed your set up on my tank though a bit overstocked I just added a HOB filter and the algae was very managable. Water change and algae scraping every 2 weeks. 5 gallon with 1 betta, 4 guppies, 5 snail and 4 cherry lots of plants. Water wisteria, ludwigia, rotala and cabomba. Thank you! for your tutorials!

[@OVHabitats]

All the years I have been watching your videos, I always get a kick out of your descriptions at the beginning like, "simple" scape with just "a few" this and "a few" that. During the build it is, "a few bits more" multiple times until you create a spectacular scape. As for the Superfish tanks, I hope they give us yanks a crack at them soon. I am not a fan of the white but I could see this kit in my office. A beautiful scape as usual.

[@Jill5423]

Scraping the glass when it’s dry is much more likely to scratch the glass than scraping when it’s wet! Highly recommend using this!

[@burnoutstixx]

Such a stunner studio!!

[@thehares2]

superfish have changed the game over recent years for fish keepers regarding quality and value...

[@Ishan.patel.]

The Betta is more impresive than the scape he is so pretty

[@HITOPAquarium]

Your setup sounds fantastic! I just restarted my aquarium journey too, and I'm amazed at how quickly everything grows. I added some floating plants, and they're taking over like yours! It's great to see so much life in the tank. Any tips on managing plant overgrowth?

[@mrTjstephens1]

Been looking at putting together a 40 gallon breeder planted tank with guppies and shrimp using what i have learned here and from watching Aquarium co - op ans keeping fish simple. As well as others but definitely taking my scape inspiration from this channel. I need something to do other than sort magic cards for the next 20 years!

@MDFishTanks how do you keep the wood from creating cloudy tannins? I’m working on a 10ft tank for my channel and the whole thing is red right now. I’ve done water changes and still red. I’m using fluval fx6 with carbon and I think I purigen. Nothing is working… the logs are trees and too big to boil… help me…

[@MrHillbilly]

You help me and I’ll shout you out as a place to go to learn how to build fish tanks! Thanks man.

I personally used black plastic dip on both my tanks! Plasti dip allows for the color to be easily peeled off as long as you do multiple coats.

22:42 I wonder how long MD spent looking for his glasses after leaving them on that light behind him
