I've been meaning to do this for a long time but needed to rescue the amazon swords for the amazon aquarium. Now that they are out, I can finally revamp the tank to a much more manageable state and keep it looking great all the time.

Hi
what kind of stones did you use in timmys aquarium
@@nilsstruijk7164 it was giant river rocks
@@nilsstruijk7164 I don't know. They were from a garden centre
Thank you MD to give me these ideas
I think adding a few smaller rocks and pebbles as details will really tie this together. Awesome consistency with the videos man. You are special, dont get too wind up tho like a lot of pet youtubers.
That is classic MD when he does that, do love his style like this with no stem plants but I think it makes it more interesting when he does little details especially to us aquiscapers!
Love all of your videos! Whilst you were at it, you should have turned the aquarium around so that the scratched glass was at the back. It all looks great, keep the videos coming, really enjoyable.
I've noticed on your videos the dislikes are around 50 give or take. I think they are a tad envious of how quickly you gained subscribers. I enjoy your videos and I have to admit I was influenced by your ranchu video posted a year ago. After a 20 year hiatus of keeping fancy goldfish (my first fish as a kid) I set one up again and loving it.
This scape is so amazing, I’m going to have to give replicating it a go!
post a video of it
Amazing and Excellent fishing !!!!!
Ahhhh.... what a wonderful start to my weekend! Another great video! I love this re-build! I have tetras like that, we call them Von Rios. And your Rummy Nose resemble my Denison barbs. But Rams are some of my favorite. Like you always say, "they are all my favorites aren't they"!
I AM DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH THIS MASTER PIECE 😍😍😍
Looks brilliant, maybe some marbled hatchet fish on top 👍👍👌
Hatchet fish 👌🏼 they look awesome at the top of the tank and they are really bright
Perfect for beginners with low budget, I mean.. no fancy substrate & fert, no co2, low tech. Thumbs up
loved the innitial overgrown look more.
I prefer the overgrown look to this but variety is the spice of life.
Let's call this style of scaping "MD Style" :)) inspire me a lot
I was thinking that when I was watching this set up. I was like that’s MD style. It’s looks awesome and very simple 🍿
I'm learning to be patient. Buy little plants and watch the evolution of my tanks. It's only been a matter of months and 4 tanks later I just purchased 4ftx18"x18", so #5.
I'm jealous of how many plants he has, especially since I don't have access to any where I live 😩
You can always import from almost anywhere !
Amazon dude......better yet....look up Arizona fish and plant farm...AZ Gardens!
Shipping live stuff from the US/UK plus the customs...nightmare
You right bro
Lots of people sell their trimmings and extras and such on eBay
This is what I’ve waited for thank you MD
Think it would look good with some Buce in the front of the rocks
simple and funcional perfect MD style ,question would this work for a gold fish ?
yea 100% but I always think round hardscape suits goldfish tbh
Nice rescape my man :D
How do you get away with the water being alkaline from the rocks when these fish require acidic water?
U can get some zebra danios... I love these fish... I've some 20 something in my tank... And they are always zigzaging on the top!
Beautiful. I love all of your creations, but being new, this one appears to be obtainable. I would like to ask, with no soil substrate, how are you fertilizing the plants? We have a new tank I'd like to try this with, but don't feel like killing s bunch of plants. Lol.
Thank you for sharing your creations. Your new videos brighten my day
Que des épiphyte en plante sa simplifie le substrat 😁👍
Great work MD
Can you make a video explaining how you medicate common fish illnesses (what products, dosing, etc) I have a group of fish that are having long term swim blater issues. I’ve tried everything!!
Looks awesome! I like how you used a few different species of plants. I am about to change my 30 gal up. Thanks for the ideas!
I have the same tank and stand, noticed scratches on your glass too. Apparently mine are caused by using a magnetic algae cleaner since I’ve added sand. Tip to you all, DONT use a magnetic float cleaner if you have sand, will almost certainly end in scratching! Anyone know a good way to get rid of these scratches...?
Love this island style Scape with epiphytes, it's how I've done my nano cube and hopefully will have a larger one sometime next year!
Love watching your vids MD! One teeny tiny criticism! Please don't show the end result in the first 20 seconds of the vid! Spoils the build up! 👊
Hey MD is there O2 in this tank or just heater and filter?
Imagine getting a heart from md fishtank,love your vid,and stay safe😊😊
The scape looks fantasic! I love this tank. What brand is it please?
George is cool. 👌
I think that val in the background would suit this tank.
It's nice, but i prefered it over grown!
Love the outcrop! Ode to the single, lonely george farmer fern in the studio tank 😂
Maybe some hatchet fish for the top
Great scape!
MD where do you get the big floating leaf plants been looking everywhere for some. So it looks like Lilly pads in my tank. Keep the videos coming! There great to watch
I think that Discus wants some Friends 🥺
Yeah I would say the same, at least another 4
I havent even kept discus but i think its true.
the amount of scratches in that tank XD
Wouldn't a few honey gouramis look good in that tank cause they will match the color of the discus so wel, again great video md!
Hi MD! Will you be nutrient dosing this new set up? No CO2 I see?
Great videos! Thanks. See more of you than George Farmer now! 👍🏻
This is the kind of community tank I want, a large center place with epiphytic plants, with swimming room, with a large mix of community fish, and a couple of medium fish, and a couple of large centerpiece fish, of course most of the fish will be schooling fish, and a mix of fish that swim in different layers of the aquarium, and of course a couple odd ball fish, and maybe a couple of other critters.
i like the island, but for this tank it needs something in those corners
I leapt for joy at 8.11 when I saw the budget (SunSun?) canister... as I am a seriously cheap-ass hobbyist, it's nice to see some cheap equipment being used.
Where do you put all your livestock when you rescape like this. How long does it take from start to finish. I have some roots I want to use to start again but I just don't know the best way to go about it. Don't want to lose fish from stress
You should get more cardinal tetras after seeing a lone one in there
Hey md, this is kinda of topic, but I know you are from England, do you drink tea ☕?
Where do you leave your fish when your escape your tanks?
Hey MD, how often do you do water changes on this size of a tank? 😊🐠
The most beautiful things in life are basic. Top notch, MD!
What are some of the foods you feed?
I think some sort of pleco or catfish would look nice, I personally have a pictus catfish which have a very nice colour
Nice scape! Be careful with the skimmer tho, looks like its underwater, fish might swim into the filter
What beard dye do you use👀
Hey @mdfishtank I'm Shoaib from Bangladesh. I've been following you on RUclips from a long time now. I've a 24inc / 18 Inc / 18inc aquarium. Have a mid tech light and DIY c02. I'm using garden soil and sand as substrate. I have some plants available such as rotala pink, difformis, ludwigia repens, stargrass, a loooot of Micra, cryptocorine red, honwort, and lastly one pot of fern and one pot of Anubis. So can you pls give me an for my tank? as I have low budget. I have two lava rocks one is huge And another one is pretty small. And a small driftwood as well.
Very Beutiful i love it your tank goodluck
Early
So beautifully matured big chunks of Java fern!
Should move those 2 discus in with the other 5 at the studio
I think discuss are pretty aggressive towards lone fish being added later. These ones look much smaller too.
I can't help but thing that the clam needs to come and live in this tank. The boys would love it and you could enjoy seeing it and it not being hidden under all the pearl weed in the Asian Tank. Love the channel!
Can any one tell me how much sand has he used over here. I am planning a similar kind of set up.
MD would love a video of you covering what you feed all your tanks!
Me at my screen "test the water!!"
Great tank! MD I know in one of your previous vlogs you were on about maybe getting another 4ft tank for your studio, ever considered going for a rainbow fish only set up, amazing colours and variety you can get from them especially in the smaller species, psudomugil luminatus and furcatus are my personal favourite for the smaller species and you can’t go wrong with a boesmani rainbow fish 😊👍💚
First
Get Cardinal Tetra’s.
Hey, could you do a tutorial on your external filter and the pipes in the tank please, I'd love to know more about them. I want to get into external filters but unfortunately I dont know much about them. Thank you so much I enjoy watching your videos all the time
You are Bob Ross of aquascaping 💙
Hello ... Any concerns about the PH raising from the Seriyu rock . I'm building a RedSea Reefer 75 gallon with sump for discus ... I've purchased this rock and have read reports about rising PH .. Thanks .. Cheers and Merry Christmas !
You should have gotten your wife's reaction.
How do u afford all this bro I can’t even afford decent size piece of bog wood
Right? 2 apartments full of tanks plus a house? Wtf is ge doing for a living is what i wanna know
@@thathobbitlife yk what im saying
MD said, it's all sponsored. Not his own money.
That seriyu stone alone is quite expensive
@MD Fish Tanks I am very big fan of Epiphytes too, especially JavaFern, But didn't work as many times I tried. Firstly I see How easily you tuck the JavaFern into the gaps without glue or anything to tie it. I would like to see my tank with bushier JavaFern.
1. Fertilizers What are those Should I use.
2. Dosage per 100 liters or in any measurements
3. How frequently to change water. ( believe frequent water changes takes the FERTS off too)
4. Light watts / duration for 100liter tank. ( NO CO2 Setup )
Thank you very much. PLease please help me
Those discus shouldnt be in a 200 liter tank, more like 300-400 in a group of 5 or more but other than that it looks great as all your scapes do and the fish will appreciate the extra swimming space. (edit: also just noticed you got a single neon tetra in there lmao, you talked about adding more fish in there now that space got opened up so id start with adding neons to give that big fella some friends)
How much hr time should i use for my low tech planted tank.?
Tank size: 18" 12"12"
Light: 13 Watt led
Gouramis should go in asian tank nah? And discus in your discus tank? ... 2 discus alone.... 🤔
Both these species need more vegies to hide.. Or companions
i have that exact same tank which i got from maidenhead aquatics , hoping to rescape it next year tho to get discus
How about something unique like the upside down catfish? Or dwarf rainbow fish.
MD Fish Tanks! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now! I need help with my tank
Could you possibly put in an African Butterfly in as your top water fish? Might need some Red-Root Floaters for them.
Love ur content broo.... merry Christmas.
I absolutely love your your tanks. Although this tank was absolutely amazing before it was deconstructed. The after is beautiful as well. What type of lights are best for us here in the US that can't get the same lights as you. My current lights are on 12 hours a day. How do you keep your fish and snails in the tanks with no lids??
So simple so effective. One extreme to another great job. Keep the great content coming super inspirational to us beginners.
What happened to the endlers MD...you thought we wouldnt notice. Commented too early, he explained it all😬😬
Rummy nose! My favorite
Great job done. Amazing my friend. Well done.
hello from NZ . it's literally impossible to find any sort of aquarium shrimp. =(
Please reply i'm from pakistan how many days goldfish eggs are hatch
You should look into putting 11 threadfin rainbows in there. 4 males 7 females. Beautiful fish the males dance and show off for the females and at night they look like navy boats floating in one place
Love your vids but really wish you wouldn't show the end product at the start , much prefer the surprise . Happy Christmas to you and yours
Get a load of Marble hatchet fish for the top of your tank, they are great little fish but love to jump out the tank. Looks great with the re-scape, another 4 Discus would look good to
Just did my discus tank shame i cant post any pictures on here but its a mix of ur home aquarium and ur big discus tank really love ur videos and u always give me some new ideas that i can try on one of me 9 aquarium next project will be trying to do the amazon tank 💪
Excuse me can the plant lives without any subtrates?
Man, the people talking about the scratches have no idea 😂 I have 4 2nd hand tanks because I am on a budget and one of them is so scratched there are areas you can't see through any more 😅 also one grain of sand in a magfloat and before you know it the whole glass is scratched 😪
discus name = george goerge farmer reaction = what the heck
Marbled hatchet fish for top dweller
Can I use Java Fern in a Co2 less and Low lighted tank?
U can simply located the rock and wood and it becomes an awesome view.. ❤
How many litres/gallons is this aquarium?
More Rummys and Discus!!! Maybe a blue one?
