Hey MD , you did keep a saltwater tank in the past . Thoughts on trying that again or does it take a lot of time to look after. Also could you give us an update on the harlequin rasbora tank ,really love the contrast of the black sand to the reddish brown wood !
I Officially Challenge MD Fish Tank: Do you accept? Build a low tech ecosystem planted aquarium or planted shrimp tank... 24" Length X 6.5" Depth X 9" Height I'll be extremely delighted to see this video or atleast hear mention of it in your next video or two... I'm a big fan, watched every video you have on RUclips. Your tanks are a big inspiration, keep it up!
I really like this format: recap of tank setup and progress, a little bit of vlog maintenance, and some fish footage and fish facts! Really pleasant to watch and highlights what makes that tank unique. Thanks!!
Yes! Revisiting a tank after its been running to see the progress! This is fantastic, both in entertainment and education value. No assuming a tank was torn down as fast as it was scaped for the next video:) good luck MD!
Such a good looking tank. The addition of the tiger lotus really gives the planting scheme a pop. I prefer buying juvenile fish for a new tank tbh, watching them grow along with tank is part of the enjoyment for me.
I always look forward to your videos, MD. Your dedication to your craft is second to none. You have become an incredible video editor and videographer as well as mastering aquascaping in your natural style. Keeping things simple, but beautiful. A sincerest thank you. Wishing you and your family well, take care.
Awesome work...from all youtubers in the aquarium hobby your the only one Iv seen that has stuck to what you love from the start..others change their hmmm how can I say it..they help us beginners the basics and keep to an affordable way that all can be involved and follow but when they get too big, they go off to what most of us can only dream of..thank you..it's simple but looks amazing
I wish you would hit 1 million subs by the end of this year.....Omfg this tank iz boommbbb💥💥💥💣 n a great channel with great content.....Keep on gng broo
MD!! I suggest that since you just tied those mosses onto a rock, you can just take the rock out then trim it outside the tank? Wouldnt it be much easier and cleaner? (Sorry for bad grammar) Love from Philippines, Great content as always, one of the best youtuber!
I am loving the maintenance videos, especially the rainbow tank. I am having the fungus on the spiderwood, green hair. Diatoms. Plus I medicated for Columnaris and now my spiderwood turned blue. Ugh it is a hot mess. Totally devastated. Your videos are helping me keep going.
Really loved this style. Seeing every stage in the process of the “life” of the tank. Your thoughts and feelings towards it. Nice footage of the fish. Would love to see this style for your ecosystem aquarium and your Amazon aquarium! (my two favourites)
We have a goldfish and three shubunkin goldfish. They are full of character and always rooting around. I finally found a planting system that they don't rip up 🤣 I've also a little community temperate tank with hillstream loaches, platies, diamond tetras, pearl danios and zebra danios. They are wonderful to watch - especially the pearl danio shoal. Just gorgeous ❤️
Hey md now that your discus are gone, may i introduce you to the worlds most beautiful fish ever? The african butterfly fish omg you gotta setup a tank with these beautiful beautiful fish inside😍😍😍
Thanks for great videos, tons of inspiration and advice/Annika, recently set up three new tanks (400 l, 60 l, 20 l), after a long break from this fantastic hobby.
Gorgeous tank, beautiful fish, great job on this one, MD! And your video and presentation skills are top notch as well! My favorite fish keeping channel for the aquascaping and entertainment value. Love it when you go to the store to buy more fish. I'm not currently keeping any fish but, you make me want to at least go to a fish shop and just have a look around. Keep it Fishy! 🐟🐠
Could you possibly do a video on how to properly use different Lilly pipes and where they should be in the water? Qand differnt types? Including Lilly pipes with skimmers

For the river tank have you ever considered the Synodontis nigriventris or African upside down catfish from Central Africa on the Congo river basin. Similar location to the Congo tetras. It is keeping within the African river theme.
Hey MD. Beautiful tank as always. Is there a reason why you didnt take the Moss Stones entitely out of the tank and trimmed them in like a bucket ? New to the hobby, so idk if it would affect anyfink? :b Thx much love ❤ Also could u do a beginner tank video? With like good beginner hardscape materials, plants, pumps/gear and then maybe also fish to keep it low tech?
MD, do you know about planted reef tanks. I watched your reef tank series and was disappointed that you took it down. I saw in the comments you said you like plants way better. So why don't you try out macroalgae aquariums. You could try out different types of macroalgae to create a unique aquascape. Not like coral reef tanks which almost always looks the same.

Maybe elephant nose fish?? Sinodontis catfish?? African butterfly fish? Rope fish??? African leaf fish?? What's next?
I really like this format: recap of tank setup and progress, a little bit of vlog maintenance, and some fish footage and fish facts! Really pleasant to watch and highlights what makes that tank unique. Thanks!!
I agree! It was very nice seeing a recap and how the tank came together to next see the progress! The tank looks gorgeous!
Agree! x3
Those plants are as green as ever and this looks stunning
Yes! Revisiting a tank after its been running to see the progress! This is fantastic, both in entertainment and education value. No assuming a tank was torn down as fast as it was scaped for the next video:) good luck MD!

loved the Congo tetra lesson with MD haha
Always a great day when MD uploads!
Oh I liked that you added a little fact about the Congo tetras

Yaaaaaas! Another clip of the crocs n socks!
Absolutely love your content mate, would love to have what you have!!! Can’t wait to see an update on the ex discus tank!
Congo’s are so under rated. The older they get the colour intensifies so much. Great interesting fish to own
excited for the cory only tank
Your channel is so realistik and doable for everyone. Thats what makes it special. Appreciate it 💪🏽
Awesome work...from all youtubers in the aquarium hobby your the only one Iv seen that has stuck to what you love from the start..others change their hmmm how can I say it..they help us beginners the basics and keep to an affordable way that all can be involved and follow but when they get too big, they go off to what most of us can only dream of..thank you..it's simple but looks amazing
Another great video! Makes my day when I get notified you have posted a new one ☺️
Bloomin’ eck! What a thumbnail - my jaw just dropped! Absolutely stunning scape well done 👏👏
That Beautifull green Colour just is so soothing 💚
Great way to start my day.
I had two females and a male Congo awesome beautiful fish. When they start breeding, they are fast, great update.
I wish you would hit 1 million subs by the end of this year.....Omfg this tank iz boommbbb💥💥💥💣 n a great channel with great content.....Keep on gng broo

Love from Philippines, Great content as always, one of the best youtuber!
If you notice no dislikes, that’s how good you are at the hobby👍🏽
This is something next level really awesome !!! fan of your work !!!!
That tank is awesome. I love Congo tetras 👍
I am loving the maintenance videos, especially the rainbow tank. I am having the fungus on the spiderwood, green hair. Diatoms. Plus I medicated for Columnaris and now my spiderwood turned blue. Ugh it is a hot mess. Totally devastated. Your videos are helping me keep going.
The most elegant one!❤
Absolutely phenomenal!!
Your definitely one of my favorites to watch. Happy New Year MD!
Really loved this style. Seeing every stage in the process of the “life” of the tank. Your thoughts and feelings towards it. Nice footage of the fish.
Would love to see this style for your ecosystem aquarium and your Amazon aquarium! (my two favourites)
Told you this tank would be awesome, it really brings back memories! The congos are some of my favourite fish I ever kept
yessss updates are the best
I love the Congo Tetras, thsy play so hard and are fun to watch! Beautiful tank!!
love this tank, the fish ,the plants, the placement of the wood the entire vibe of it is just immaculate
true
True inspiration
Wow! That's stunning. Absolutely love it. So beautiful
It's amazing how good the arrangement and decoration of the aquarium is, it really inspires me, greetings from goldfish cultivators from Indonesia
Thanks MD, great update.
You do such a fantastic job of explaining your sets ups and cleans up’s . One of my favorite tanks.
Great update video! Nice music too! Kribensis and some of my favorite fish. The Congo Tetra are amazing.
Beautiful presentation MD
im getting same fish for my aquram and is planed, I cant belive things that you aqascape is real
Wow looks amazing! U taught me so much and also got me into the hobby thanks for all your videos.

I've also a little community temperate tank with hillstream loaches, platies, diamond tetras, pearl danios and zebra danios. They are wonderful to watch - especially the pearl danio shoal. Just gorgeous ❤️
Really smart idea putting the soil in bags nice and neat
Your scapes are goals!
The tank looks awesome!!!!
Absolutely love all of your works and ideas except that substrate and sand bags, keep it up good work
stunning tank, also loved the editing on this one!
First
And nice selection of plant it looks really good in the aquarium
no
I'm surprised you didn't remove the riccia rocks before trimming them to contain the mess. The trimmings tend to metastasize everywhere in the tank.
Hey md now that your discus are gone, may i introduce you to the worlds most beautiful fish ever? The african butterfly fish omg you gotta setup a tank with these beautiful beautiful fish inside😍😍😍
Wow lovely tank
Lovely video great format and nice editing! Sweeeeet🤪
You are an inspiration to me
Love the quality of your videos man. Keep up the good work! 👌🏽
Thanks for great videos, tons of inspiration and advice/Annika, recently set up three new tanks (400 l, 60 l, 20 l), after a long break from this fantastic hobby.
Man I enjoy how you film and tell your stories... Great job ... I only have a 10 gallon beta fish tank that I want to make into a zen like Forrest
Truly wicked man. I love all that you do and your vision of how you want everything to work and look is very inspiring.
Keep it up!

Amazing just amazing
I really like this tank !
A work of art developed
Great recap and video! Will also try the deep substrate system in my next project. Thanks MD..
Beautiful!
I use the same size lights on my 4ft tank. To me looks more natural. Amazing tank
I love this channel. Feels like I have a lot of tanks watching this haha.
This tank grew in so well I thought it was a new set up, sheesh
My favourite tank of yours mate! Love your work, get the Krib and new woman 😉
Moss is on stone you can remove it and trim it
I absolutely love this tank 😍

Beautiful tank!
ive never liked bulbitus, but somehow you made it look good, nice work!
Incredible!
Nice looking good
Beautiful tank ! I saw that log start to float though Lolol I bet you needed a monster rock to hold it down
What floating plants are those in this tank. Absolutely stunning tank. So green and lush love it
mini water lettuce
Awesome to see the progression, this was an interesting format and the tank looks great.
LOVE THE TANK I PERSONALLY THINK THE THOSE FLOATING PLANTS ARE NUTRIENT VACUUMS
I love this tank and am trying to do a similar setup in my 120 gallon
Talk about a glow up 🙌
You should get a blue gularis killifish.
Absolutely stunning 😍
For the river tank have you ever considered the Synodontis nigriventris or African upside down catfish from Central Africa on the Congo river basin. Similar location to the Congo tetras. It is keeping within the African river theme.
We saw that driftwood float
I like the nature fun facts!
This is spectacular! As always ;)
Crocs have invaded the UK? 🙃 Love your videos. 🍻
Love your videos
So jealous of this tank, its my favourite of your's. Looking forward to your next scape :) cory tank?? Or did I miss that? 🤔🤔🤔
Looks wonderful. Any thought about Madagascar rainbowfish? Could go in this or the rainbowfish tank. They’re very awesome fish.
Hey MD. Beautiful tank as always. Is there a reason why you didnt take the Moss Stones entitely out of the tank and trimmed them in like a bucket ? New to the hobby, so idk if it would affect anyfink? :b
Thx much love ❤
Also could u do a beginner tank video? With like good beginner hardscape materials, plants, pumps/gear and then maybe also fish to keep it low tech?
