I absolutely love this product, what a great way of getting height and planting throughout your whole aquarium. I'm excited to see what Dave comes up with next, but to make that come true we need to support ventures like this. It is very rare that we get a person trying to release a product that could help our hobby and I'm all for it.
Good luck Dave and the Habistax team, I'm behind you 100% of the way!!!

Hi everyone, this is Dave from Habistax. Thanks for all your comments and support. I will bring this product to market rest assured!
Thanks Dave its an awesome product! If anyone has questions you can visit the website and send Dave an email. Also shipping is available worldwide on the Habistax!
Would this be able to be purchase from the US ? I’m interested in purchasing this towers
Is there an email I can contact Dave just wondering if I order when will shipping be for the US
Word bro we definitely need this out here
You must!!!!!
This guy should also design a planter that’s modular for a back wall of an aquarium that would look awesome
Watch this space Dave has some cool plans.
Another advantage would be easy transfer to another aquarium. You could transfer a tower to a new setup to help the new tank have beneficial bacteria immediately so you don't have to wait for it to cycle.
Oh my word yes!!! Great idea!
I thought the same, I do that with clay pots but this is another level
At first I was questioning the product but after seeing the final version, my god Its such an amazing product
Me too.
I thought it would look less natural, but wow!
It really does look great.
Yeah I was really impressed with how it came out. When I saw the pictures of how Dave had planted it up I was sold.
Yea, I was thinking I could make that and then I thought....why would I bother. Habistax did
Board game designer and aquarium hobbyist here. Awesome to hear that I'm not the only one with these two hobbies. Love your videos!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, PLEASE TAKE US ALONG ON BUILDING OUT YOUR GARAGE.
Thanks Matt! Love the enthusiasm, the process, and the final look.
You will all be coming along for the garage build most definitely!
If you leave the center substrate holder off, you can sink a small sponge filter. It would actively pull the water through the roots on the way to the filter.
Exactly what I was thinking.
For those of us with brown (aquatic) thumbs, this has the potential to be a real game changer. I truly hope this takes off and becomes available to the average hobbyist. Thank you for taking a chance and sharing this build. Very exciting🙂
Kentucky says hello y'all. I saved this unique video. Partly because I had to view it without sound so I didn't wake up my Husband. I appreciate your visual description. It worked out well for me and those who are hearing impaired would still be able to learn from you Matt. Have a blessed day my friend.
Hello 👋 that's amazing to hear. Plus you can rewatch it with the sound on hahaha
Picked my horse Kentucky 🐎 😅 hello from Massachusetts!
Hello neighbor! I’m in Tennessee! Have a lovely weekend everyone.
You can activate the subtitles ❤
Wassup fellow Kentuckian!!
The addition of the Stones/Wood made a HUGE difference in the scape, and so simple too. Nicely Done
Yeah I can imagine someone having 3-4 different types of rock and cycling through them.
@@FishShopMatt I will def give this a try on my next build. Keep up the great work Matt! I do appreciate it!
Very, very good idea. Just hoping it will reach the market soon.
The Habistax is AMAZING!!!
I love the fact that you can move your plants to another tank without really upsetting them at all, great idea, much nicer than terracotta pots, especially for bare bottom tanks.
what a fabulous idea. so much less aqua soil and so many possibilities. Well done
This concept but as a rectangle that is meant to fill up the back wall of the tank. Would make giving a tank some height in the back super easy. Going to support this product for sure.
I would definitely watch out for future Habistax products. They have some grand plans!
I was thinking the same thing. Or maybe one that goes straight across the back for a "plant wall".
It's set up like a strawberry planter.
I'm surprised how good it looks, and really interested in how much easier it'll make scaping.
Yeah it made scaping so so easy!
Bro! This looks great !!
Wow wasn’t expecting them to look that good but those look insane, very interesting and can see these being utilised in even very advanced aquascaping
Glad you like them and I totally agree.
This definitely has lowered a mental barrier to aquascaping. Thanks for the detailed demo!
Hasn't it! Makes it so much more accessible
Man watching guys like you and MD setting up tanks with what seems like an endless supply of any and every plant in the hobby makes a regular aqaurists like myself really jealous. But i do love watching. These towers seem really intriguing.
This is realy a great invention!!! And I am a Scaper for over 40 years.
I am loving Habistax!! This is exactly what I need. I'm currently unhappy with my aquarium. I was dreading tearing it all up and starting again. However, now that I have seen Habistax I can't wait to redo my tank. This is perfect for me! My fish will be happier too. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐌🐌🐌🐌 Gina
Matt, I’m a Brit currently living in NZ, have kept fish for nearly 50 years yet only just, in the past 2 years, got into aquascaping thanks to you and MD…..and it’s going well. When I saw this Habistax product, I was blown away! What a great invention. I went straight over to the Kickstarter page and made an early bird pledge to support Dave in his venture. Without you urging or recommending others to support in Kickstarters, is there anything else you ( and maybe MD too?) can do to give this product more exposure. As in your video, it adds a number of new, fascinating aspects to Fishkeeping. Well done for making the video! Keep up the good work!
Love the scape so simple yet so beautiful
Matt, that is EPIC for smaller aquariiums. The opportunities for rescaping are endless and so simple! I do hope we are able to get them in the US. Happy Saturday .
You're going to be able to get them in the US. Thank you!
i think i really need this. my plants grow everywhere and this is like a decluttering shelving unit for plants. it would make cleaning the tank so much faster
I definitely need this in my life.
What a great and simple idea. Makes planted tanks so easy and those plants will flourish. I hope this comes to market.
I hope so too! I'm pretty sure they are super committed to getting this released
First thought was they needed air stones to promote water circulation.
Second thought was it would be great for shrimp.
Third was just moss on top for egg scatterers, and the tube area (without gravel) would provide a great hiding and feeding area for any babies.
Oh my, what a freaking awesome product!! So want one, or two, or three
“Over the top” “Skys the limit” Matt coming in with the dad jokes, lmfaooo
That’s so freaking cool!!!! I am in for sure!
This is freaking AMAZING!!
Hello from Missouri. As a cichlid keeper i can attest to the frustrating nature of trying to keep live plants in their habitat. Every single day I look to see what they dug up and thus need to be replanted, I agree that these can be a game changer. Great job Matt. I hope these get fully funded!
I love this idea, I've been in the hobby for 10+ years now. I am tempted to get a 29 gallon and try this out
Love this planter idea
great video Matt, that Habistax product looks awesome, will be supporting the dude making it!
I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing.
TBH I was skeptical at first.. I mean ugly black plastic in a tank?... but then after you planted them and added sand/hardscape, I WAS CONVINCED! Tons of practical applications for it. I've actually seen farmers a few years back growing plants vertical without soil and only coconut hairy thing and liquid ferts. Time to bring it to our hobby! cheers!
Absolutely agree we need some cool innovations.
That is an inspirational new system. I can think of so many things to do with them. Kudos to the inventor! Thanks for showing us!!! ❤
A PRODUCT FOR PLANTING PLANTS HORIZONTALLY HAS BEEN IN GARDENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS , FOR HOME-USE AND INDUSTRIAL-USE .
THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Dear Matt, Love Your Style of Video 😀
I’d be tempted to try nutibase in the centre and aqua soil where you put the gravel. Extra nutrients for the plants. Especially that many in one tower
Wow that would give the plants one hell of a boost and I think it's definitely doable.
@@FishShopMatt just think for long term - and with amount of plants - it would make more sense to- especially when first planting new plants.
I am in love! I’ve been struggling with scaping and planting my UNS cubes and this would be amazing 😮
Been having a similar aesthetic in my favorite aquascape for year,😊
I used bamboo-reed roll-up curtain as underwater partition wall (as two larger fish weren’t getting along) , I planted it full on both sides. It looks amazing.
Small fish just swim though it (as every other reed is removed).
Habistax makes building such towering look (up &above water) easy, even with plants that need to reach the soil. 👍
Agree with other comments that a flat back wall option would also be cool addition
&
that empty open top middle can also be a place for sponge filter (or makes a natural baby fish sanctuary). ❤
Would buy one (or 6😂) for sure.
Mad but this is the kinda thing that gets me excited :D What a great idea
That is really cool! Hope you use these more in your scapes!
Freaking love this!
Don't get mad at me, Matt. But I think I can make this! I mean it looks like a great product. But I have a collection of the empty mini pots from when I buy aquarium plants. Then I have the free pots from regular plants. Hmm... this gives me a great idea on how to make my own tower. Thanks for introducing me to the product, though.
Knew /immediately/ I would love how the HabiStax worked! Great build!
Habistax looks awesome! CPDs have become my favorite, I have them in a 29 gallon with a betta and they are so beautiful once they color up!
What an awesome idea! No more Cory’s sifting up the sand around my plants and up rooting the new ones! The possibility’s are endless, I hope they are available in Australia 🇦🇺
Aren't they great and I believe you can get them shipped to aus.
Looks like a game changer from starting a new scape, to modifying an existing scape, to maintaining a scape!!! Just brilliant product!!!
❤❤❤
Nice good job ❤
I'll need to redo my bow front, about 90 litre, but tall and slim, might be worth trying in that tank
I need this!
By the looks of that box, DHL is about the same quality in the UK as it is in the States lol Also, that’s a great concept for a product! That’s gonna be a game changer
Was thinking the same about DHL 😂
Hahaha yeah they aren't the best. I agree it is a game changer.
Oh my gosh! Those are amazing! I have lots of plants in the aquariums and would love to try a habistax!
Definitely gonna be watching out for this. Could also be great for growing plants for other tanks would like to how it would be taking plants off of them
Every time you dragged one of them against the bottom of the tank I had to remove my headphones. That squeaking sound kills me! Lol.
So so sorry I cut and silenced as much of it as I could.
@@FishShopMatt No worries. Just thought it was funny.
Lol, I noticed that once, hehe, gave me goosebumps 😆
😂 same
What a brilliant awesome idea ❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
can't wait to buy these! awesome ideas...
The Canadian market needs more creative ideas like this!
Looking forward to the update videos.
Fun video. Thank you for showing me something really new.
Looks awesome I wonder how it would do in a terrarium or paladarium setup aswell.
That's a cool idea! I'm sure it would work just as well.
Such a clever idea. It allows you to create hight without having to use five bags of substrate or heavy rocks
Oh it's like an aquarium greenstalk!
I've seen something similar from a Japanese RUclips video using acrylic but in a rectangular module. This looks so much better and well thought out as compared to the Japanese version
This product is a great innovation for the aquarium hobby, but I'm thinking to take it a step further. Add a sponge filter concept, where debris is drawn in and trapped around the plant roots. The air tube could be where the aquasoil is kept, and then put the aquasoil where there's currently dead space. As long as it was full of plants, it's theoretically a sponge filter that never would need cleaning.
Would be cool if you put submersible lights into them..
#2looks super cool😊
I was honestly a bit sceptical at first since I tend to prefer the more "natural" looking tanks but honestly I'm Impressed! it looks awesome.
I think some D shaped ones would be awesome to use in the background to create a huge bushel of stem plants
Great video, bud. I am going to be looking into these.
I think it will certainly encourage more beginners to go for real plants. It also looks like a great way for experienced scapers to add something different to their aquariums.
Hi, i always thought you were the brains of MD operation. Glad to see you have your own content.
Well that was rude! MD is amazing and Matt’s friend! You must be the example of a rude American
Oh my gosh! I am soooo excited for this new product! I hope I am able to get in here in the USA! You blew my mind mentioning all the appropriate applications and scape options! And I live how it looks like a wall of variegated plants!
Very unique and intriguing might have to give one ago my self 🤔
Yeah I'm really impressed by it.
Those look rad!
i like this. Dreaming about some kind of huge vase with this in the middle and a bunch of shrimp.
Amazing!!!
They’re really cool! Might suggest it for a friend who is thinking of doing a planted tank soon!
What an awesome way to plant,love the sand,
Excellent concept. Ps. Matt those DOCs look really nice, plus they'll still get better.👌👍
CPDs* even 😂
Cool structures ❤❤❤
Part of the reason I’ve never seriously considered cichlids is because I like planted tanks. I could easily see using these towers (with hard water tolerant plants) as a backdrop for a small shell dweller colony in the foreground. I think that would look really interesting.
oOoOO shell dweller habistax would look sooo good!
A shell dweller tank with these would be amazing.
nice one matt.. so perfect for those who don't want substrate but wanted lush plants
I thought at the start I'd hate them, but you really did a great job of showing the potential, I'll definitely try one when they're available, my only worry would be if they were sparsely planted that fish would get stuck in the holes if left empty
This is the second time I've seen this product to be a made video and i believe it is a great idea and game changer for sure
I use small Terracotta pots and stack from large dia to small. Load up as a planted BCB. Anoxic in tank filtration. Planted up they can look pretty good.. 10 to 1 a cheaper option for those of us pinching pennies.
Awesome product. Great review, I’ve pledged on kickstarter, hopefully Habistax will reach its limit, it’s not that high considering how handy this product could be!
This product looks amazing i hope we get access to this in Australia
Although I have not been able to keep fish tanks for many years, even I am excited by this innovative product. Wishing Dave and Habistax all the success!
So very cool!
I am daunted by live plants I like this idea,maybe a betta tank again,with clown loach sucker fish tetra's,,i am going to think about it after this video😊
I will totally buy one once in the market. Please keep us updated Matt
Also curved ones to do like arches would be cool but asking for more out of a great looking product lol
That is COOL!
Man, I was so skeptical in the beginning but wow! So impressive. 👏
such a clever idea. shame they aren't available yet
Coming soon! We need to support people like this though.
Fantastic video and great innovative idea❤
