I have not kept fish since I was a child, and had two 3 foot fish tanks that my father and I built by hand. However, I absolutely love your channel. I never miss an episode. I find incredibly informative, and very fun to watch. Keep it up.

[@MDFishTanks]

thanks. now you better get some fish!!!!

[@mrdzuan94]

We should all send him a tank each so that he’d have no choice but to scape them all. Loving how often you put out contents recently!!

[@msbranen6261]

I like the past few 'back to the basics' videos. Over the years it's been so fun watching and learning as your set ups have been more sophisticated! However, I know I'm never going to get there. I'll probably always stay at this level, and it's nice to have the simpler, less costly video every now and then, too! You're always fun MD!

[@xxsid1979xx]

That you've even managed to make danios interesting for me says it all really.

[@surfer101ist]

Been watching your videos for a while and they’re so good. You got me into planted-tank fish keeping, and I’m never going back! Quick suggestion: could you do a once or twice a year full-studio update? I love seeing all the new builds but I would love to see how some of your older tanks have matured!

[@MDFishTanks]

I did one a month ago. Take a look at my videos list.

[@surfer101ist]

@@MDFishTanks Missed that one! Thanks!

[@agirlnamedmichael1670]

The time-lapse with the Accu-Clear was neat- that stuff really works well!

[@aislingmckee2964]

I really love how inspired I get from your videos. I never really enjoyed fish keeping in the past, but I didn't have my tanks planted. Now I have 3 smaller tanks, loads of plants and some really fun, happy fish.

[@Samizard]

Loved seeing you go back to pool filter sand for this build! I really enjoyed some of your older super low cost setup videos. It gives the average DYI scaper like me lots of inspiration! Would love to see a "low dollar amount" challenge type of video. Can't wait to see you cross 1mil subs 📈

[@kwackytankslap9339]

Very sweet set up. Simple can be so effective. My only suggestion would be some leaves at the foreground to give that riverbed look.

[@PhiaSoHOYO]

I think we are at the stage of simplicity MD. All the new tanks so far are all very simple. Still have alot of plants, however not so nature looking, and I'm enjoying it.

[@GFHill]

I just watched the build on the 1000 gallon african tank. You pointed out the one fellow, was wet. I would not trust a fish shop, where at least one person, was not wet. My wife, and i enjoy your videos!!!

[@tamimrahamaan5872]

I was so high while watching this video i heard MD speak fluent Japanese.

[@MyNanoFish]

Thought I was about to watch a tea towel go up in flames. Awesome tank MD🍃. I love dwarf danios too, always busy so entertaining to watch.

I love love love this scape very crafty I must say thanks for the sneak peak before this in ur other video ❤

[@suehouston7908]

This is one of your best tanks so far. Love the simplicity and openness of the set up. :)

[@Azk.Studio]

My favorite aspect of MD is that all of his tanks have a natural appearance, setting him apart from others 👍

[@f00mp]

Thank you for all the tips & tricks, MD ~ to this day, still learn new ways to improve my building 🌴

[@infamoustrick4979]

Hiya mate, I am in the process of doing an Amazon River type aquarium and I use your videos all the time for good tips and ideas for substrate, scaping and planting. Top quality videos and great Intel. Thanks fella! I have been watching this channel for only a few weeks, but you absolutely got me hooked on this hobby and I'm excited to get started.

[@rebeccaampuero2347]

I like the serenity of this aquarium. Beautiful!!

[@reinisnikolajevs3020]

One of your best aquariums, keep it up❤

[@bigben8369]

Really well done, simple scape. You're constantly outdoing yourself! Keep it up!

[@donaldburgess1003]

Well, another great scape! Though, I don't think I could've resisted another plant or two...my will power sucks. Have a great weekend! From Charleston, SC, US

Luved the demo n info for all the different lighting ...it really shows the variations lighting can make.

Hii Sir, love ur aquascapes. Ur aquascapes are really beautiful. It looks so natural. Inspired by ur Videos I have started trying aquascaping. ❤ from India...

[@BeckyBoultonxo]

Love your videos MD! I have 4 fish tanks now because of you 😂🐠

[@tygereyes]

Great Job - I preferred the oldest single spot (I think it was the 2nd alternative - bright and shimmery with some nice fall-off to the sides - that would have been my choice... but I am glad you did a run-through of all the lights).

[@Diospyros1985]

This turned out great! Have a 20g long with similar vibes...Vallisneria and rainbow shiners!

[@carinalarsson9310]

Like your aquariums! Like plants so much, my aquarium are filld! I always get new idees. Your love for making Nice places for fish really showes. Thanks! 😁

I do really like this tank , great size and simple but stunning. Nice job.

[@mtgtomescourer]

Man, the Rio Xingu is damn near impossible to find online in the US. Walked into a small shrimp shop a few weeks ago and found three bottles of it randomly on a shelf. Totally made my day since I was just about to set up a 4 ft tank, and it's the perfect scatter gravel!

[@Sneezy1956]

I love this tank the simple two plants really speaks to me

[@andreagalda28]

Love it... some ember tetras and a few shrimp would have been my stocking choice 🤔 ❤️

[@FMAquascapes]

Nice tank.....scaping my very own 2(ish) foot river scape this week. Great looking scape as always!

[@annmoomau881]

those fish look so cute, doing their little fish tag around the tank...

[@TalisaAquarist]

I LOVE this simple tank!

[@neur0ness]

Looks great. I think it might be cool to see you do an odd-shaped tank. Like one that is L-shaped or U-shaped. Would probably need it to be custom made though.

[@andrescontrerasvargas5865]

Looks amazing, I also made a tank with vallisnerias a few months ago and try mix it up with another plant like eleocharis vivipara as another texture

[@ExpensiveKoala]

I love the 2ft tanks just as much as the 4ft tanks! Nice scape! I would put some buce or mini anubias amongst the rockwork

[@KattJones-o3s]

I LOVE this tank!! ❤

[@marcussamuel7303]

Weekend starts early let's goooooooo

[@_DROM_]

Talking about underrated fish, the female feeder guppies are gorgeous. I breed mine and I love the way they are basically translucent all the way to their tails, where they develop a rainbow of colours. Their shape is beautiful too. I don't know, I just love them. I keep them separate from the males, in their own tank.

[@shaymaanburkatally3544]

Great work..hard work beat talent!❤

[@tylerdetwiler8836]

LOVE THAT SHIRT 🐢

[@Unbrandedyt]

I’m the third person! Love your videos it inspires me I have two fish tanks I’m now 12 years old .

[@richardgutierrez9223]

You have so many awesome pieces of buce I’d love to see maybe a big buce covered wood tank or something to best display them maybe run co2 too just to see them glow, I find it looks much better when you split it apart and almost plant it as a carpeting plant, love the content thanks mate

[@Biologoybecario]

Very nice set-up ❤ The small barbs look like some kind of Pethia; perhaps Pethia stoliczkana or P. ticto (mind you, if you google pictures of P. ticto most of the first results are actually of P. padamya, the same which share Timmy's tank).

[@JasonDarrenKing]

Giving me ideas for my 2ft tank due to be setup thanks for the video

[@robertwinkler8444]

Sooo Good, wish I had your scaping skills. All your stuff looks amazing👍🏻👍🏻

[@MeanOldLady]

I love aqua essentials too for my tanks. When I'm not doing tap water changes, I'll collect rainwater in a couple buckets & use that to top off my tanks so they don't get so much mineral build up over time compared to tap water + chemicals.

[@TheRealTMar]

I also have a Superfish Scaper 90 set up here with loads of plants, lush carpet (mostly monte carlo and a few other species dotted throug), a dolmen, some 'trees' and a few otocinclus, 10 pygmy cores, 10 ruby tetras and a few amano shrimp. I also put in some of the skittle neo caridina's, you know the ones that aren't quite blue or not quite red. Perfect for a fair number of very small fish!

[@juliam4283]

Absolutely fascinating!

[@asnilloc]

Great idea using a croc (I can only just make it out) as a measuring instrument!

[@Jen-w1i]

Nice tank, although I was looking forward to the one type of planted tanks and would have gone with shimmery light.

[@chaosdj]

You need some Burjor's Brilliance (nechela dadiburjori) in there with the dwarf danios - biotope correct and just awesome little fish.

[@YinYang2435]

I know it’s a bit overkill but the Skylight hyperspot light could get you the shimmer effect and strong lighting. I remember seeing it in many European settings

[@codylyon5639]

I love this tank but I have to admit I really liked the shimmer 🙂

[@DieterHuckstedt-j6v]

Love the snail on the table on the vid picture couldn’t get the word can’t think today 🤣

[@Adam-eh1qd]

Happy Friday!

[@LauraGaulrapp-jv4vg]

❤ this one! Way to restrain yourself- any more plants would have ruined it. It’s perfect as is.

[@snips0307]

Thx for giving information for the tank and so on

[@FranNoesse]

I think this would suit betta well since reeds are their natural habitat.

[@MDFishTanks]

oh yeah for sure.

[@ventsislavuchkunov5472]

When using this filter (I've got 4 of the same) screw the pump at the top of the filter. Using it the way it comes, makes it impossible to bleed all the air, hence why the flow isn't good. Other than that, they are amazing for what they are!

[@MegGreeneSmith]

Tank looks great! I am so impressed that you were able to restrain yourself from putting more plant species in there lol. Anyone know what those barbs are? It's driving me nuts not knowing the species...

[@rathiutham8124]

thank you for the influx of videos

How often do you change the blade on your tank scraper? I'm still here, and a huge fan. Please keep'em coming.

[@calebbezuidenhout2998]

WOOOOOOOO MD VIDEO

[@SumargJ]

the lumini light was real good

[@LisaBright-j7z]

I love learning from your videos! I have a curious question. If you use Nutri base for beneficial bacteria but you lock it down with sand. Does the bacteria get in the water column?

[@dennisvanopstal7360]

Bacteria dont live in the watercolumn. They live on surfaces. The glas, wood, rocks, sand, deep in the sand bed. Filtertubes, sponges everywhere except for the water. And they spread from the nutribase to the rest of the tank slowly.

[@AndreKochDre]

@MDFishTanks you need to try Twisted Vallisneria (aka vallisneria tortifolia)

[@farukdiken7521]

Hi MD, a quick question, do you really need that much of a nutrient layer especially since you tend to rescape it like in 6 months?

[@MDFishTanks]

Yes, because in those 6 months, the growth is lush and fast with no co2

[@SusmitaRai-ez5ue]

Lovely ❤

[@AnaLaMama]

I think that your mystery barbs may be Stolikza's Barb (Barbus stolikzanus). They are in many ways similar to your Odessa Barbs and Rosy Barbs, and will get about 5cm long.

[@Rosewood22]

Love your videos, would you be able to do a tank for spotted blue eye rainbowfish, i have some and looking for some ideas on how to set up the tank

[@DatKrazyKook]

Still waiting on the old school sand slo-mo 😮

[@LordChumbley]

I really like the minimum species of plants look.

[@olivierl2172]

Shoutout to the snails 🐌 ❤

[@RapDwaTrzy]

the water flow can be decreased maybe on that the filter is not under the tank ?

[@robertoperezjr.1119]

Does you floor get hot when you dried your rocks? If glue is what holds down the flooring I would put something under the towel.

[@erikawindhaber6585]

Hey, I have a crazy Idea! What if you did to small tanks (or big ones) and conect them with one of those bridges. You could do the one tank with only green plants and the oder one with only red plants. I think it could look amazing! 🐟🐟🐟

[@Traceyp1970]

Had anyone else noticed that the first rock looks like Timmy wearing a tin hat? At 07:03. I swear it’s a monument of ickle Timmy

[@Kenneth_Fishing]

Were you high?

[@thomasmckaig909]

I reckon those barbs kind of look like Odessa Barb babies. I wonder, was there ever a point that they crossed into that tank when rescaping Timmys tank?

[@amx1820]

Serene... I get that its a sponsored video but the surface skimmer is a lil bit of an eye sore.

[@MDFishTanks]

the skimmer wasnt sponsored. Just felt it was required. wont even see it in a month because of plant growth

[@NielsO-t3v]

Dario tigris or dario dario would make this tank even better!

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

I am from nepal. Sir Show off your aquarium room collection ❤

[@gcuellar14]

MD please do a tank with a sand waterfall tutorial

[@stevecooper6653]

The scratch Is probably from one of those horrible Magnetic scrapers 🤷to close to the bottom and just a couple of grains of sand or grit will completely damage your glass or when you cleaned the tank out ? stick to the blade scrapers is my advice 👌🏻maybe when you take the tank down turn it around 👌🏻👌🏻stevie
