MD please make a crayfish tank build🙏🙏 day 2 of asking

[@seanmartin2185]

Hey brother I guess you better address the pigeon situation! Got some people in here super hot about that apparently! Not sure what the issue was pigeon looked great probably was a little confused disorganized and did need some time to recover. Glad you guys did the right thing my man! Your fish died when you were in the states came back and I don't recall him talking anything negative about that situation because it was an accident! Those were dead fish this is a live pigeon and these people commenting on the pigeon are very fussy, very selfishly confused also I can assure you that the pigeon is esteemed and leveled up much higher than the fish according to the way these Believers think and choose to animals in order of importance. Unfortunate

[@pooger7778]

Pro tip paint and stain all the wood before assembling it. Trust it’s so much faster and easier

[@t3dwards13]

I'm on Katie's side!😋

[@Elle574]

Better love story than twilight

[@herdouacheng05]

😂😂😂😂

❤

[@jamestopliss7029]

So is that time I stubbed my toe on the radiator

[@Only1Sosa.]

Lmao love this

[@sleeplessknight850]

You can use the water from your tanks to water the plants everytime you do water changes. It will be more beneficial for your house plants.

[@subiludo1928]

Second this^^ I saw that he did say he would start doing this in the last video and I really hope he does. My little Dracaena plant had one leaf on it and now it's propagating below the dirt, so cool!

[@Gladiatorpig]

And the best thing is you can save money especially as a Aquarium Content Creator you will save a lot of money to spend it in new plants(or pub)

[@bryangoer]

Better yet when you clean out filters use fish poo it makes em grow like crazy

[@angiebear8727]

And the environment 😘

[@ukaszd.2494]

Water what? MD doesn't do water changes - that is for quitters 😂.

[@FishShopMatt]

Thanks for using the thumbnail with me eating maccies hahahaha 😂

[@MDFishTanks]

Haha. Was genuine 😂

[@johncook1309]

You guys have really hit something wonderful here. The fact that Kate is involved just makes it better. Don’t ever break up!

[@gentlemanreefer6105]

Just noticed that space in front of your studio. Perfect for an outside pond!

[@MrVovansim]

I'm sure the landlord will be perfectly fine with them digging up a hole and filling it with water and fish. ;)

[@revinaque1342]

​@@MrVovansimIf they put enough effort into it, it could raise the property value 🤷

[@lachlane.5893]

The racking system looks great! Loving MD and Matt working together.

[@jeffreyrichardson9568]

Matt : "she don't watch your stuff anyway, I'm fine" 🤣💀

[@MDFishTanks]

Don't blame her 😂

[@khgn1234]

Never take Kate for granted... she is a topper

[@ailine5121]

Aww that pigeon is for sure someone's pet! I hope they found him!

[@caiocesar1504]

You guys are a great example of "The total is more than the sum of it's parts" Amazing work AND videos!

[@AnubisFenrir]

Kate will always be my favorite, even if she doesn't want to talk

[@onlywei]

I tuned out of this channel since I started focusing more on fish and less on aquascaping for a while. But now that Matt is here I am back to watching!!

[@carenza163]

Pigeon looks to be a Trumpeter pigeon and will have been captive bred. It won't have any concept of 'outside' so probably why it hit the window. It won't survive in the wild.

[@wendydix5534]

Love of the two of you working together. You look like you’re having so much fun. ❤

[@dr-k1667]

WOW!! You guys are really a great dynamic duo! So much change has happened and it's all good!

[@katzolicious]

loving the regular uploads and updates. so good.

[@chasemass1710]

I am so in on these videos, cannot wait to start my own tanks

[@S.Velazquez]

Loving this setup already!!! Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. Keep it up guys! 🤗 BTW that was a type of fancy pigeon. It’s not wild and won’t survive long outside. Someone must have lost their pet.

[@danielledavenport9907]

Oh no ☹️

[@leahnichol6665]

Definitely.

[@shel.b.1090]

Yep defo 😢

[@LPisWEEZY]

This racking system is 🔥🔥🔥. And even better, it solidifies new videos for us, for the next 2 years.😮😮😮😮

[@StarEmpress30]

Totally missed the chance to have a bird mascot for a fish studio! It could have been your spokes-animal for "fish are friends, not just food!"

[@billbush1270]

I'm going to share my motto with you, regarding all construction work: As Long As It Flushes! I think it will come in handy, especially post-pub.

[@cherylbeswick7327]

I love you two guys! ❤ What a team. Not many guys would take the time to help out a bird! Just goes to show the type of people you both are. I Can't wait to see the progress in the studio 🙌

[@karenh5650]

Matt needs a t-shirt with Buster’s face on it and MD needs a Timmy t-shirt! ❤🇨🇦

[@Meansi]

I never knew I needed a wall of fish tanks in my life before now. That looks amazing!

[@pinkysaurusrex8964]

Buckbeak was a Hippogriff Matt 😂😂

[@westtxyo3171]

I am impressed you are working after the Pub. LOL. I agree with another post...space in front outside a great spot for a pond. Yes?

[@leanmachinepainting3966]

"Put peigon in field" Fox says "thanks very much"

[@sophiehatin]

You guys working together, that was the way to go. You are both so entertaining 😂

[@lordjohnny2026]

You guys are building a little empire

[@christophergonzalez6290]

@MDFishTanks Your wife is awesome!! Tell her not to be embarrassed about being on camera. Her voice and personality carry very well on camera.

[@prophetessoftroy]

This is the wholesome content I need more of in my life. 😂

[@hotwater8473]

Fish tank Matt is the real brains behind this whole operation. Still can’t stop watching 😂

[@MDFishTanks]

most of the time when it comes to fish...this was my idea :)

[@Chinco_NL]

Thank you, Matt, for remembering the Netherlands instead of Holland!

[@Chinco_NL]

And thank you, M&M, you brought me back into the hobby. I look forward to your video's every day and I greatly respect you for your skills and inspiration. Thanks again!

[@Jorgie1944]

Wow that wall looks great. Its a lot of fun watching the studio develop. Matt is an absolute riot! Lots of fun watching you two😂

[@zombi3907]

Im so happy you get to work with a friend. It makes everything so much more fun and you seem a lot more productive. Congratulations to you both!

[@walker2790]

I like where this is going. So many tanks, so many fish that will find a beautiful home. Can‘t wait to see it :)

[@kingzlatan12]

We use the word “smart” just like Matt in malaysia 😂 awesome new chapter from this channel 💪🏻 foookin love it

[@jinadee6477]

Yall being besties & having so much fun together makes your videos even better! ❤

[@Arauquatics]

Having a friend in the hobby makes it so much better 👍🏼

[@southurnstar]

I love the look of this so much. Very modern industrial vibes. That plank you cut short could have been cut in half so it sits either side of that power point. Then cut a hole in the mdf board to access the power point.

[@RWAquariumPages]

love this series and the interaction between you and matt. The way you did your rack is what I should have done, different sizes for different purposes. I made mine all 10g 45cm tanks. keep up the great work and can't wait to see them filled

[@brockn7878]

1st time Ive ever seen Kates actual personality come out... ❤ Its a Catch 22 because by being shy she used to come off as being a ... "handful" ... to put it nicely. Glad to see she smiles 😃

[@kyleemery2798]

Looks great! I told my wife this was what I want to do in our basement when the kids move out. She reacted about like Kate does to being filmed!

[@georgiaroberts9385]

Found a bird like that after a wind storm. Called Animal Control. Turns out it was a trained bird used by a show here in Las Vegas. They reunited him!

[@miniscenesgb]

Looking great! Can't wait to see the tanks all full. Would you let us know if the Pigeon eventually flew off OK please?

[@CowboyUp1991100]

Everytime they say pint I always think of the scene in lord of the rings when pippin says "IT COMES IN PINTS!?" lol

[@Bam8301]

That landscaped nook outside the front door would be perfect for a pond

[@jaronmiller6503]

been loving the recent vids and seeing everything come together!! cant wait to see the future of the studio

[@pagewhite61]

These videos are so much fun! The rack with the tanks looks so good! I can’t wait to see them filled. The pigeon was so cute. Thank you for the video.

[@ManuelGonzalez-zb8hm]

Hello,guys tanks look great, that pigion was a fancy cap tiplet very pricey in the bird flying hobby ,see you on the next video, your fan mg,

[@RichardDowd]

That patchy background actually looked really natural! Bedec Multi Surface Paint is amazing for this kind of thing - its not cheap but its designed to stick to pretty much anything without the need for a primer ;)

[@thexnewyorker7284]

You guys should put a fish pond out front where you had the wood stacked up😊

[@EliasNordanlid]

Lovely just to see u guys working together and following every episode from both of you on the tube! Keep up the good work mates. //Greetings from Sweden

[@karlidomingo]

Yes! More of Kate! Seems to be such a sweetheart. But I obviously understand if she doesn’t want to be broadcasted to the world haha, it’s a weird amount of fame

[@billbush1270]

Did you notice how she gave him permission to go buy a new electric truck? She could have any man she wants!!

[@Simply4Aquatics]

Looking great. I gave up painting tanks a long time ago these days I just use black vinyl car wrap. Only takes about 2mins a tank.

[@Damian-Davies]

Loving the growth of this chanel. You guys are truly awesome to watch! The MD FAMILY keeps giving awesomeness 👌

[@DannyMcLaneDC]

I do so appreciate how you say that it's just a stack of bricks and boards, but you're surprised that it looks good. What do you think aquascaping is? You're just stacking different rocks in different wood. Because to be honest that is the Poshiest, most upscale fish rack I've ever seen.

[@sherryconnors-rt3yu]

You two are great to watch! Great teamwork and so glad to see Matt working with you now.

[@davidmaclean5757]

Would've been cool to have some backgrounds painted purple and some painted green in each of your colours. Just one or two each across the tank wall.

[@anotherslave3302]

you were getting so much work done .... then off to the pub

[@EbolaxMonkey]

Oracal 631 vinyl works great for black backgrounds. It will last for a very long time..... I have some that's been on for many years, but is meant to be temporary. Will probably work for pink too.

[@zunayed_mahmood]

I had a suggestion. How about building a huge, like 3-4ft shrimp only tank. Like, filled with shrimp, all kinds of different shrimp. I personally think it would be really cool to see a tank like that alongside nano-cubes.

[@glennk.7348]

We love Kate! 😃

[@DarthStardom]

lol keep us updated on the pigeon !!

[@marymendez4178]

The built turned out amazing. Oh the white pigeon was so cute, y'all should had kept it. People say it brings good luck. thank you for sharing.

[@SUBLIMATION_STATION101]

You literally inspired me to start my youtube channel you are the best in the aquarium/aquascaping world on youtube cheers from America 🇺🇸

[@justburhan]

That pigeon is a special kind of pigeon and most probably someone's pet. I know you guys tried to help but it cannot live on its own and even cannot fly If its owner has trained it not to fly. Someone who feeds pigeons would love to keep it.

[@ittybittybatty]

Maybe they could've brought it to a vet/wildlife place, it shouldn't be out in the wild like that though if it is a domesticated pigeon

[@justburhan]

​@@ittybittybattyExactly

[@brockn7878]

Yup. He needed help finding a home. He WILL get eaten by something. Whether a hawk or a fox or a cat. C'est la vie...

[@seanmartin2185]

People, your neighbors and mine, are lost dying and spending eternity in hell...by the millions daily And u concerned with a pigeon? 😢🤔

[@cking8776]

Looks like the boys are back in town with their lovely Lady!!! Can't wait to see the wall finished!!!👍💯👍

[@Johnny-qe7bv]

You and me are funny, guys. But you built great play and Fish structures and I love all your planted aquariums with your fish. You're doing a great job, guys. Keep keep up the good work.

[@angimojo72]

🎉 congratulations on y'alls new adventure. I'm glad to see your success 🙌 ❤

[@shanewoods7833]

Surely doing that scale of tanks its just easier to use black backing film? Rather than black paint? Great videos love them!

[@tedtownsend8933]

The new racking system turned out better than I thought it would. Great job!

[@FNDwheels]

What a bro-mance 🥰

[@sonyaryan4209]

Can’t wait for the next episode

[@TheRealTMar]

Stick to The Netherlands boys 😊 And once again, you have this lovely Pat&Mat vibe going. While you're over here, you could see if it might be on TV or something. This stop motion animation is originally from Czech Republic (or formerly Czechoslovakia) and the Dutch dub is called 'Buurman&Buurman'. Buurman is Dutch for neighbour, male form. They're always building something together and it's always in some unconventional way.

[@alextaylor8538]

186 is 90% of 206, so you were spot on with the 90% perfect theme

[@aqhan]

Oooh, someone's being a bit naughty there! Wifebeater for lunch? 🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if people from the outside of the UK will get that joke 😂😂😂

[@carrolgribble7669]

Awesome video!! 👍🏼👍🏼. The new setup looks amazing!!! So nice to see Kate involved!!!!

[@frachiascio5027]

Amazing as allways❤❤❤

[@jonathan__g]

The racking looks great. The coloured LEDs will take it to the next level.

[@n8BDetroit]

The thumbnail with the burger is too funny 😂

[@MandyJane123700]

That's looking great! Now I need you guys to come help me build a greenhouse. lol

[@KamiInValhalla]

Katie is awesome. Great studio guys. Looks wonderful!

[@hamedrummer1017]

I loved the few seconds of pub talk! More of that please!

[@BrewByMe]

Please when you do the shrimp tanks make it like it was before 1 type per tank that was awesome and the whole top shell can be cubes for shrimp and the different color/types cheers gents

[@ethanwilton1602]

When I paint the back of my tanks I use aerosol cans and only have to spray two coats and it’s done and both coats dry in about half hour.

[@geertm4493]

We need more kate❤

[@Foogle..]

Lots of grafting but nice to see you both having fun at the same time 🙂 It's looking very smart so super worth it, can't wait to see all those tanks filled with lovely critters.

[@marykalter13]

if that pigeon comes back I think its a sign that you have a new studio pet

[@marykalter13]

especially considering it doesn't seem like a wild type at all so probably needs people to survive

[@earthexit]

It's a Tumbler Pigeon. He's a pet

[@howardgin5232]

That is massive.

[@mrTjstephens1]

The light is there because light follows beauty! 🎉

[@growjunkieradio]

Alexa, play Grow Junkie Radio. Great music for your build Matt! GoodVibes

[@clint9027]

“Just get a truck and keep the car”……never let her go brother.

[@MDFishTanks]

Haha. I nearly ordered one there and then 😂

[@anthonybrown8158]

😂😂😂

[@LeslieAnn713]

Keep the video as evidence as you guys were at the pub 😂😂 then she be like when did I say that

[@ethanfriedersdorf]

Better go get a full sized American truck. More room to haul tanks.

[@samsta213]

You guys had me laughing today. Looking good, much love from Los Angeles 👍👌👊

[@lubsok16]

The racking looks awesome, gave me a few tips to build mine 😅 Just a thought, when painting the backs of tanks, if you put a light source inside the tank, you'd be able to see if it needs another coat without moving it 🤔 perhaps..

[@TheZcoffey]

looks so rad, loving it! 😆

[@pamlacey136]

Looking so good!! Glad the pigeon was okay.

[@lizzyanthus1]

Love the racking system. looks great! Anxious to see what goes in the tanks now. You guys made me laugh when you asked Kate, "Can we keep him?" Like two little boys asking mommy if you can keep the puppy who 'followed you home'. LOL! I hope he's ok. Maybe someones pet that excaped somehow. Anyhow thanks for another awesome video guys!
