Ahh coffee, the most important ingredient for any aquascape. I am about to do a full refurb of a fish tank in a couple of weeks when I am on holidays. Thank you for some inspiration.
Great video! Btw, if you are using the grow caps from Tropica when setting up your soil, just twist the caps open and pour it in your substrate, more even distribution of nutrients for your plants. You can take them apart! Did the same thing yesterday :)
Hello from florida I just want to say that you do a awsome job with your tanks love the idea of no filter tanks and everthing thrives keep up the good work very glad I found your channel . Your videos are very educational
Love your channel! It's incredibly soothing and relaxing... especially when you just play music and I can watch the beauty of the green underwater world. It's like having my own aquarium for a little while.
I want to keep Discus someday in the plants tank. All the plants you stock are very beautiful and wonderful. I look forward to future videos of this tank. coffee... that's very important :)
I am a fresher in the hobby just trying planted aquarium for a year But too impressed by your work Will definitely try to copy your aquascape since even I have the same discuss like your orange one Really loved your tank Gives lots of inspiration
Another MD classic style scape like the way you use the rocks as a barrier to outline and separatet up the tank in zones but im not loving the sand in front to be honest the rest is A grade craftsmanship as usual keep it up love to see it in 2 months when its grown in ,also yes established plants do really well in new scapes :D
Loved this one bro! I wish plants and hard scape materiel were cheaper and more accessible here. Impossible to get of this stuff without spending a whole check in the U.S. lol ✌🙂💕
@@MDFishTanks I tried buceplant.com but they have shitty contract they make me sign. they are really the only plat supplier there is over here. and they charge to much for some plants. Seems a lot easier to get sponsors over there. lol
Awesome tank, was planning on starting up a Discus tank very soon and gave me a really good idea of what look I'm going after, great content as always!! 👌👌
Depends if you are getting juvenile or adult discus and the pH of your water, tbh. Juvenile and high pH water means you might want to reconsider a heavily planted tank for now until the discus are more grown and mature.
@@bakotako Im looking to just start with juveniles since they're gonna be my first discus, I've seen a lot that it's more of maintaining a PH level that's more important, since they seem to not do well with changes well, but I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for the info!!
@@brianpyle9045 Get a group of 4 or more. Bacteria/parasite curve follow the pH scale and temperature. Discus prefer pH of 6.5 and high temps. The low pH reduces bacteria/parasite levels to tolerable discus levels. Higher pH means more bacteria/parasites, planted tanks add to that equation as well, and high temps will explode a bacteria/parasite level. Keeping discus in high pH is not the end of the world but it does mean while discus are juvenile and more susceptible to disease they should be kept in a bare bottom tank with frequent water changes until they grown a bit (~6 months, 5") with good feed. Maintaining pH just means try not to use pH buffers or acids unnaturally and age your water. This is a given for discus care. I don't know what your pH is but if it is on the higher side (well, hard tap water), I would recommend just going bare bottom for the grow out and double the water changes. Have a bottle of metronidazole (ex. metro+) handy. Discus are notorious for internal parasites not in a RO system. Hope this helps! Discus are great just gotta be realistic and prepared.
The general advice is that if you want to put discus in a planted tank it is best to buy them already pretty big (but you pay ££££ for good ones), to grow out juvies properly (so they will not end up stunted) means good water quality, feeding a lot and so also cleaning and changing a lot of water (with mine for the first 18 months I kept the 100gal tank totally bare and changed 70 gal every day, only after that time I started scaping). Discus are not difficult fish to keep (except the wild caught ones ) but more than most other fish they show issues if not kept as they require
Wow great rescape Marc! Absolutely nailed it! Ive fallen in love with the textures of seiryu stone; just did a CPD scape using it and the textures of it with an LED light (shimmering effect) are stunning! Cheers from Canada!
Really Beautiful at the end when it's short like that and with the wood, more elegant, fantastic job. You should try waterproof hockey puck LED lights. They come with a remote control and the auto color rotation or having a pinkish purple glow in the back really makes it pop. You Should try something similar while playing beautiful classical music and watch the tank just..( Glow and Flow ) I like to call it. It's.. wild.
There are so many beautiful guppies in this tank.put some of them in ur nano tanks so that they could be appreciated better. In this tank the center or attraction is always the 2 discusses. Anyway great vid bro.ur vids make my day:)
That tank looks absolutely stunning, makes me want to rescape mine too! Love the plant diversity, though I would've preferred a touch more red in the left corner. You should take a look at hygrophila difformis, a very fast growing background plant that looks lovely too (Half of my tank now consists of it) with nice leaves that stand out.
Looks amazing! Fantastic work. I'd be interested in how much money that took for the whole remodel and how long it took you. The depth you achieved for 55G is very impressive.
It looks amazing. The wood and the light coloured stones create an fantastic effect. Like a wonderland. I understood that you want to replant most of the plants from the old tank, however there were lots of new packages. How much % you where able to reuse? Do you have to discard the rest? Thanks
Amazing planted aquarium. I have to do an emergency cleaning and planting in my nano, some of the plants that I purchased from a reputable seller for some reason just died and need to replace them. Don’t blame the seller could be my fault too.
Very nice and thank you. I was a hobbyist fifty plus years ago. It has come a long way. Your end product is very nice. I wonder though if you had to use carbon dioxide? You don't show it. One thing to make that tank better would be to get rid of the guppies. Personally I think tetras and associates would be enough (and, of course, the discus---keep them!).
How the plants survive in warm temperatures which discus badly need? My question is for other plants except Anubias and Java fern. What is the temperature maintained. Pls

Wow, I really like this tank! The Contrast between the green plants, the discus fish and the black background is incredible!
that was the plan. Glad you like :)

no probs. Glad you like
Love you choosing Rummy Noses to compliment the orange Discus.
That was not aquascaping.
That was CREATION of a new world 👌👌👌
This is so gorgeous! And your fish all look excited, exploring their remodeled home. ❤

Yet again another stunning tank display 👌 can’t wait to see if all grown in 😍

Another great scape Mark. Love the contrast between the sand in the foreground and the lush green plants. Still need to Orr out the backing music 😂😂👍🏻
Love that coffee is mandatory for this setup! I'm gonna redo one of my tanks using your ideas.
What are the dimensions on that tank? It looks like it has substantially more depth than a standard 55
Lack of info what lighting do you use do you use co2 it is beautiful tank thanks for including the plant names you use
Dude your tank looks dope. Love all the different variety of both fiish and plants. Thanks for all the great videos 👍
Beautiful. Fishes must be super happy
The tank was already great you just made it even better!
What type of fish is that Orange one?
Such a Rescape from Fishtank is a lot of fun .... hope the fish too.💕💕😁 It's even fun to watch you. thanks for that.
no problem :)
Wow! Very nice. I think all your plants costs more than my whole setup!!
Absolutely love what you did with wood Marc, and the moss attached 👌🌱💚
Can you post an update video of the plant growth?
So jeolous!!! Just getting my tank established, I will copy you! Great job
Lovely tank
Do u use co2?
So lovely!! How many hours do you think this took you?
Thanks Taylor. I would say it took about 3 hours of build time, but 5 hours because of filming (you know how it is ;)
Your cristmass moss are very healty bro.. Exelent work 😎😎

Please let me know what is the size ( dimensions ) of the tank and thickness of glass
Class video. And not a single word spoken
Beautiful i want to build something similar how much maintenance for this and would Angel fish be happy in this 🤔
Amazing talent and vision. Keep it up
Did u use co2 in this tank after?

Nice remodel Mark!
Beautiful scape. Would be interested to see the total cost of scapes in videos in the future, though!
This is incredible absolutely breathtaking
What are thos fish with the black stripe down their sides ive hand caught some of em in alsea OR and cant find what species they are
You make it look so easy.
Turned out amazing! Great tank 🙌🏻
so beautiful and the music to awesome work bro...
I love thus tank idea, using this idea for my new tank!
There are so many beautiful guppies in this tank.put some of them in ur nano tanks so that they could be appreciated better. In this tank the center or attraction is always the 2 discusses.

@@beaka63 just stating what I would've done differently makes me an ego? Okay.
I must purchase plants from you 😂 love your Aqua scape
Just watched this video again. Such great background tracks, man!
Great looking design , stunning. Wish I had the space for all those plants( holding tanks) that's so helpful.
Nice job keep it up, love from Dubai
Brilliant video and brilliant tank!
Wow!! Incredible. Love it!
Think it's time to invest in a tank that's solely for keeping and preparing plants ;) tank looks amazing as always! I dont know if you can mess up lol
When did you move your fishes in after you flooded it? Didn’t you want to cycle it first?
6:16 damn you’re lucky to have that soil, in South Africa, a 5kg bag costs like R1500!
Yup, just spent 100 bucks on substate. The soil here in Vegas isnt the best unless you are growing a cactus.
Fantastic looking tank,could you places also list the music and who it’s by as well,thanks
The scape looks so much better than it did. What temperature do you keep the tank in?
thank you. 28c
I always thought plant options were severely limited with discus but the plants on you tank seem healthy
@@kennethmartinez4760 yes I heard that too....I chose not to listen 🤣
I would love to take all your plant clippings😍
Amazing tank. I just bought a Jbj65 and i am going to do it and hope it turns out that beautiful
Wow! Beautiful aquarium....
After all this lovely makeover how long you wait until you put all the fish back ?
Thank you! Keep up with these lovely scapes
Looks amazing! Fantastic work. I'd be interested in how much money that took for the whole remodel and how long it took you. The depth you achieved for 55G is very impressive.
Really nice rescape, well done.
Absolutely gorgeous. If I had all of those materials you have, for sure I’d be creating the most beautiful tank arrangements.

Are those neon tetras? The red and blue fish. They look huge
Great video as always! 👍
love it man, you have inspired me to scape my breeder tanks... now how to do it so i can still cull?
Do you use CO2?
Stunning tank m8 💯👍👍
The is looking fantastic now😘😘😊
I’m gonna need you to come to CA and build a replica of this gorgeous tank. It’s exactly what I’m looking for 🥰
Beautiful setup. Great video.
Which light are you using?
Great job, Love the videos you do!
Aquascape with wow effect.
Notice how much the fish like it aswell.
Wow mate that is unbelievabley good
What are the lights on this tank? Gorgeous by the way!
