- 1st Job MD'ers...like the video for me. It helps more than you know! Can we hit 2000 likes???
So these little no filter nano aquariums are my favourite. I really like the bowl aquariums as well as they are particularly challenging given the magnification the bowl creates.
Hopefully you enjoy this one guys. I enjoyed it so much, there will be more no filter nano tanks coming soon :)

Pulls out a boulder... Here’s this pebble. 🙃 Love it.
@@British_Bastard nice
Where is the joke
This would look great as a dinner table centerpiece. No more of em gauche fruit baskets or cliched flower vase. ✌
My dad want's some as a centre piece at his wedding.
@@MDFishTanks until a kid put ketchup in it lmao
I was just thinking the same thing.
fresh fish on the go
You gave me an idea!
I have to say....
I'm a wife and I'd love it if my husband would do this with me....
Yes. Even baking the dirt in our oven!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Super happy that I found your channel!!!
I can't wait to try to make one (or more) of these for our home.
♥️😊💯❗
The fact that he actually did use the garden soil and work it out to still have a clear water... is just simply amazing
It's actually very easy if you put it in water for some days
Just amazing indeed
Okay someone has to tell me how he did the stars in the background @ 18:44 ?
@@Emmai.thedesignerthey’re just particles in the water or some air bubbles they will go away they’re not stars
The sand caps it. You can't use fish That root up your plants.
"HEALTH & SAFETY WARNING: Don't bake dirt in the kitchen oven when your wife is at home as she will kill you" - classic! 😅😅😅😅
😂
Got my dad a fish tank with aquasoil.... He took my moms noodle strainer to wash the soil when i wasnt around... Hahahahhaha. Mom came back and flipped
Great video thank you....and ill be baking up some soil in my oven....BUT as a LADY, im using parchment paper with mine lol.xx
Second time watching this video and thank you for answering the question about using dirt I was having. Just a little bit under the substrate!! 👍 I'm the wife that will be baking the dirt in the oven and have a husband come in and ask what I'm cooking and want to taste it 😂😂😂
Lmaooo
3:35 wife:what are you cooking
Me: I’m cooking dirt
Wife: Now I will cook you 🤣
I’m blown away by your ability to produce professional videos and yet be completely free and easy with us. Super content and, if I may say, you are as easy to look at as your creations. Thanks for the inspiration!
I've learned more about fish keeping, aquascaping, general inspiration, from any other youtube channel than this one. Thats by no means saying there aren't other good ones out there, but your videos, your dispositions, your overall energy in your work is not only informative but very entertaining as well. Love love love your videos man, been a quiet subscriber for many years now :)
Great video, MD! This was a very enjoyable sort-of back-to-basics tutorial, and I really appreciate your focus on using materials that you can pretty much acquire from around the house, or a quick trip to the hardware store (plants excluded). That bowl came out really well, and I look forward to following its progress, and maybe even scaping a bowl of my own. Keep up the good work!

WHO LEFT THE DISLIKES?😡😠😾😟😒😣☹️☹️☹️😭😭😭😭
If you're looking to make a paludarium for a corn snake I would watch serpadesign he might give you some ideas for the setup :)
Have u thought about doing an Aquascaping competition. That would be an interesting series. The planning the prep just an idea
My mom would say I lost it the day she sees me bake dirt.
This is amAZING.
My two favourite things about aquariums in one, hair grass and shrimps.
We don't have any aquarium stores in my place,so I use a glass jar. I planted some hair grass I found in the fields and a shrimp my friend caught for me from the river.
This video is just awesome.
Can't wait to see the shrimps in it
haha. Thanks
This is why I started to follow this channel. A simple set-up and very inspiring to do it yourself. I still prefer the nano no tech scapes but I love how the channel evolved. Shrimps are my favorite!
Those stones are awesome in that bowl! What an eye you’ve got!
Pebbles look good anywhere to be fair :)
Check out river stones 👍
Oh he's got some good eyes alright😉🤭😂
I just found your channel today and let me say.....THANK YOU. It was very serene and satisfying to have you take viewers through a tour of your beautiful aquariums.
Ive only been in the fish and aquascaping life for 6 months (thanks covid 🥰) you are so amazing! I will definitely learn so much from this thank you!!
Thanks! I have an old port glass shaped bowl that I was going to stick a fish in. You've inspired me and given me the knowledge to make it so much better.
Thank you I needed some peace, I work in pharmacy and it’s been chaotic the last 2 weeks. Beautiful little setup.
MD, I'm quite a seasoned aquascaper and got to say i love your approach. I wish i found you when i got into the scene about 10 years ago! even the most seasons aquascaper can find so much inspiration and help from your videos. cant wait to get scaping some nice simple bowls!! thanks dude
I absolutely love this bowl!! I am going to try this as my first one!! Your passion for your tanks is so wonderful to see! From. The plantain to the fish etc. Is contagious🧡
“That looks rubbish.” ???
Honestly, I was looking at that with a sense of calm and peace, almost with an outward smile and your comment startled me.
Cool, cool stuff.
Great video. My partner has decided that now is the time to find out what all the fuss is about, so I've given her my first ever bowl to re-scape! First task, get her to watch this video!! Thanks so much! 👍
well thanks very much :)
I love the slow focus on the aquariums at the end. It's so nice and calming to just watch them
I like how the rounded lamp finishes the roundness of the setup, especially next to the boxed style next to it. Good contrast!
Laddie ! Ye have some spectacularly gorgeous tanks. Just lovely. I got me first fish aquarium when I was a wee lad of six yrs old. Me mum had them many years afore that. I'm now going on 63. Videos like yers make it as fresh as when I was nigh but a child. Thank ye. 🍀🐟🐠🍀
you seem like such a nice and good gentle person. it makes me happy watching you and your videos. thanks for making them
Was thinking straight away how my missus would react when baking the soil. Good thing you put the disclaimer you must have saved a few lives! Love your vids mate keep it up 👍
thank you....she still doesn't know but asked what the smell in the oven is haha.
Coming from a wife- Please put foil on the tray if you're going to bake dirt on it!
Back to the basics, just like the old days (1 year ago) love it!!!
For some odd reason, the stones make me think of Easter eggs.
haha. Yeah i thought that too :D ...and who doesn't like easter eggs!!!!
@@MDFishTanks i need filter to my fish
@@janicepingkian1823 then get one
@@BENJIE651 lol
Watched this multiple times to prepare my new jar. Just got back from the lps and ready to put everything together!
You inspired me to try this type of tank. I now have 4 of these small no filter, no air tanks. They are doing great. My lime green endlers are breeding in their bowl. My old betta, Earl, is happy in his cube. My celestial pearl danios and my emerald dwarf rasboras are doing great in their respective cube tanks. All are 4 gallons and under.
Do you live in an area where the temps don't get too cold? Id like to do this but may need a heater as it might get too cold
Ooh!for the Betta do you use an air stone? Or a heater?
I really want to do this in my new apartment
Artistic. I spent a lot of time futilely searching for lights for my tank. Thanks for the info. Now I'll try to source an ordinary lamp👍🏻
Tank looks awesome, liked the mix of voice over and normal vlog style in this one MD :D Excited for angelfish tank!
Just beautiful. So calming. Thank you.
Wow Love the plants you use in the tanks and the whole above water /below water vibe. Amazing!
Greetings, I just wanted to say that I have been following you for a long time, not from this account from another, and I wanted to say that you are super talented. yours and newer how hard. I make terrariums as a hobby and as a small business and it was not very hard, but it's so hard when you start filming and editing, I just want to tell you that you have my respect for everything you do, you're great :)
What a fantastic video. Gosh this was beautiful and your entire fish room is just a dream.
I always wanted to make my own mini ecosystem in a fish bowl and your video is so educational and gives great tips 🥺 I'm on a budget and I feel good knowing that I don't need to spend that much money on it after all! Thanks a lot!! Although I do think I'll still buy the led lights for aqua plants after all 😅
You create such beautiful aquascapes! I can only hope that one day I can create something as lovely. Thank you for sharing your talent.
wow! i just stumbled here. had no idea fish tanks could be so beautiful. feeling love and awe.
This was so wonderful and I'm going to try this out now. Thank you so much for sharing
As always creating something that makes me sit in aw. Keep up the work MD love your videos and hope you and your fam are well. 💪🏾🙏🏾🔥
cheers Aden. Yeah all doing well. Colds everywhere but thats it.
This is fantastic! I've recently had to retire my nano aquarium due to water damage to the electricals at the back and didn't want to chuck my tank. I've had no luck with live plants when it was running so maybe I'll have better luck with a fresh start and finally achieve the scape I've wanted since the beginning! 😁
WOW! 5 Seconds into the Video and it looks outstanding. Greetigs from Germany!
Some close-up slow-motion shots of the rainbow fish would be awesome to see. Looks like they've grown nicely and they're showing more colors. The bowl might become my new favorite along with the rainbow river by the way :)
Your river tank is so good now. Plants have grown out and the fish are darting about looking very busy and happy too..❤
yeah it's doing really well :)
Looks good! I'll have had my No Tech bowl for a year in September. And while it's gone through some transformations it's been really successful & wonderful to watch.
I used the Walstad Method and it has worked out pretty well!
Hi! I'm interested in your method and progress. What plants did you use and did you have any fauna (shrimp, snails) added? If so, what point did you start adding?
Very nice! Was thinking of what to do with my big glass bowl like yours and what you did is a great idea. Thx!!
I do have to say, I took inspiration and a few similar concepts to make a planted bowl just like yours. I'm still a bit new on being an aquarium owner in general, but hope to make beautiful aquariums just like yours. And more along the way.
This probably sounds weird but you have really nice eyes, whenever you face the camera I just can’t help staring
Oh my, right!!?
He talks, he talks, I stare, n then, " Wtaf did he just say...?" Talk about getting lost in someone's eyes...
Respect to Mrs. MD...
Gaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyah!!
Yesss. I was actually looking for the comment about his eyes!
yes.... and his long eyelashes look good too. If he was my husband I would let him use all the kitchen utensils he wanted for his fish tanks. lol.
As much as I liked the work he is doing here, I actually subscribed because of the eyes.
Love your posts and all the updates of your tanks. I have learned more about nano tanks by watching your postings. Keep p the great work. Stay safe while this virus runs it`s course.
Oh my god every single one of your tanks are absolutely gorgeous
Thank you for telling people about the benefits of using snails in planted aquariums.
I love how you decorated your little aquarium! You are gifted with a amazing talent! Your other tanks
are also beautiful! I have a 5 gallon beta tank
. And l have looking for ideas! Thank you for your sharing all of your tips.
so beautiful bowl setup. dirt bowl is awesome idea. plants selection is so good. keep it up. md tanks is best in all.
Love the baking safety notice. 🤣😁❤️👍👍
MD: no filter, no heater, no CO2...
Plot twist: *it was actually just a terrarium*
Thanks for saving me 20 minutes
Toby is being facetious it is not a terrarium.
It was under water tho
which would make is an AQUArium 🤣
MD....your work is simply amazing.... beautiful. Who coined the phrase, "Simplicity is genius?" At 74, I am just getting back into aquariums and am amazed at how far things have come. My problem is finding decent hardscape and decent fish. The big box stores are rubbish and unfortunately, all locally owned stores have closed. I am looking forward to binge-watching your content .... you have an amazing talent.
That shot at the end is absolute quality. Lovely photography.
Just subscribed to you, great info, love what you do. I just got in the hobby myself with a small round fish bowl . You have some awesome tanks and ideas.
Love the simple round rocks, super cute
Love these bowls. Good job my boy MD 🤘🏼
That was so interesting and lovely! You inspire me! Thank you!
Beautiful work. Everything looks so healthy and happy.
That is a beautiful bowl! Good video, too.

Awesome tanks man I wish to have a tank room like this soon! That little koi beta looked so happy!!
That's probably the coolest stove I've ever seen.. those dials are sooo cool😂😂
nice，enjoyed watching how you set up your fish bowl。
Pretty! My fav bowl so far. Sometimes...less is more.
Looks awsome mad.... thats y i only follow u on here. Best scarps and ideas for all plus u keep it real for all keep it up man

I could watch and listen to you all day.
Soil and me don't get along at all. Every time I plant, I mess up the substrate. So after a while, I ended up gluing the plants onto the logs and rocks so that if I ever needed to do a full clean for any reason, all I'd need to do is to lift the logs and the rocks. Easy to place back in too.
That is very soothing to look at i think I might try making one. Thank you
I come to watch the scapes, I stay for the scientific name pronunciations. 😘
I agree about the bowls, I have two, three gallon and the fish are very active.
I love this set up and it’s super easy to do at home!
2024 and im considering doing this build for a budget nano shrimp tank!! Thanks man!
Beautiful set up, I'm brand new to scaping so taking in as many instructional vids as possible, loved the dirt from the garden bit! Now when you talk about cycling, how can you cycle without a filter? Does the beneficial bacteria grow on the hard scape rather than on the filter media in this kind of set up?
Simple and Pretty! Good Job MD!
cheers Ryan
The dirt steps is amazing!
Dude , that looks great!
Dont know how i got here, but glad i did. He really knows his plants! Not so much how to say them 😄😄
Beautiful job my friend!
Great work and even better OH&S advice!
Excellent video, this is a really nice simple bowl scape and looks great. This isn't one of your best scapes but I think this is one of your best videos, so much great advice and information. And you using kitchen stuff and the wife comments were hilarious, we have all been there haha. And you are absolutely right about being able to put some nano fish in a bowl this size, I have 4 embers and a colony of shrimp in my planted bowl this same size and they are thriving, the fish display the exact behavior you are talking about, so active. Good luck with the UG, such a challenging plant but that would be awesome if you got it going in such a simple setup. Looking forward to more updates on this and all your other projects. I've been subscribed since you were at 5k and you have quickly become one of the best youtubers in our hobby. Well done and thanks for putting out so much great content.
cheers cody. Yeah I didnt want to do a complicated one for this bowl as the idea was to get more new people to give it a go :)
Quick question Im a total beginner. Can I build exactly this build without pump and still have some nano fish inside ? I dont want a big build just something small for my office table.
Can't wait for you to hit 100k subs! Thanks for the upload consistency, enjoying every video :)
me neither!!!
It’s gone well now. Hit 200k
Dude! Such a nice tank, I wanted a little bowl of some sort, I love shrimp and this would be a perfect little shrimp tank. Also the blue ramshorns were a great touch, I got plenty of those too!!
Oooh! I can't wait to do this in my new apartment!
I love your Job, mate...keep fishing
Love your video, you are a genius x
beautiful set ups!!
Love this bowl! MD, will you be posting follow up videos of it to include water changes and trimmings?
Wow ur aquarium water crystal clear ❤️
