Video 26 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.
Do you not prefer black silicone? I feel it looks much smarter and would make this tank pop so much more
The finished set up looks like a picture from a magazine. I hope you feel genuine pride over this. All your years of experience culminating into this beautiful scene.
I cant get over it. It looks like you picked up part of a lake or river and captured it in glass. 😢 beautiful beautiful
My parents don’t want me to get a tank until I get out the house so i just live my fish keeping dreams through your amazing scapes and ideas. Amazing video ❤
Sorry to hear that 😢 i had the same situation when it was growing up, i was allowed to have all different sorts of pets but not aquariums 😅 but now as a grown up with my own home and family im having 3 aquariums/ tanks and a Reeves turtle and many different fishes among them my favorites is my Gibbiseps and my other plecos and Ancistrus 😍🙏 keep the dream alive! You will have it in reality soon! 😍 Hope you'll have a great day! 🙏
My flat is my tank, my roommates are my fish. Then I do some aeroscaping on the balcony.
@@Jelly_Bean87*fish
ask them if you can start culturing aquatic plants and such, and sell them. here in the us at least a good aquatic botanist is hard to come by
And here I can't wait to build one with my kids haha
Now you need a live camera for us so we can have the peace and beauty as well. You are amazing
Love the 8ft tank! Now time to do a 10ft tank 😮
😂😂😂
MD needs to work scaping public aquariums. I can totally see him in scuba gear super-gluing epiphytic plants to rocks then turning to the camera, going 👌🏻
@@The_Crucible714 😂 I totally pictured this in my head as I was reading it!
I don’t think they make a 10ft tank but could you imagine how much it would weigh!! My 35gallon is so heavy I can’t move it
@@The_Crucible714would be cool to see him in a shark tank!! In scuba gear feeding a giant octopus 🐙
This is what happens when talent and passion come together. What a beautiful piece of nature you have created. I haven't had an aquarium for many years but my family and I are about to get one again. I love every one of your videos and each one helps me to find my own style and inspires me.
Thank you very much.
Hello. First I want to say that I have been watching your videos for a few years now and they've always been an inspiration to any aquariums I have set up. That being said, none of your previous videos came anywhere near the quality and inspiration this one did. I stumbled across this build probably mid way through the split up series. Now watching everything come together, I was completely blown away by the thoughts, planning, and emotion you put into this project. I watched every second without stepping away. Be proud of what you did and never stop. Much love from a fan across the pond.
This might sound a little strange, but I love to watch your videos as they're such a palate cleanser from many negative videos that are recommended to me by RUclips these days. It's so lovely to see a guy love and be passionate about his hobby, and create beautiful homes for his pets! ❤ Much love, keep up the great work x
I can see why you are so proud of this. It is absolutely wonderful. A piece of paradise.
Hello from new zealand . This was amazing to watch . Plus you explained everything so meticulously. I would love to have an aquarium as beautiful as this one ..
Now this is a great start to the week! It's clear that this project has been a dream come true for you and for many of us as well! Couldn't be happier for you MD😀
Very nice, I could pull up a chair and look at it for hours! I’m probably one of those that would want a bit fewer fish…I think the sparse with fish/lush with plants seems most naturalistic and allows the fish to chill a little more. Amazing, congratulations. And thanks for making the videos.
Amazing tank, beautiful plants, perfect fish, totally serene. I hope you enjoy it for a long time. ❤
beautiful, just love seeing all the fish living in their wonderful home.
I have my glass of wine - let's go! That tank is AMAZING! Can't wait to see how you created it xxx
I wish i knew this was coming out. I rewatched all the 8ft videos on Saturday. I would have waited for this overwise 😂
I can't lie I think those 2 pieces of wood were absolutely perfect for that tank just on their own. The arch in the centre was like magic when you put them in!
Awesome scape so far 👏
That was a massive undertaking event, I enjoyed watching it. Thank you for sharing this with me! ❤ You are definitely a master tank scaper now .
Hey guys! Aquascaping does not have to be expensive , if you collect your own wood and rocks ☺️ I bought a 200g off of fc marketplace for $600, but you could easily find 50g for $50 or cheaper haha. I also use black blasting sand instead of the standard aquarium sand, $15 for 50lbs vs $75 for the standard aquarium sand they sell at the pet store. I also buy low maintenance plants! The trade-off is time and patience. The most expensive part is maintenance at that point (root tabs, fertilizer, ect). Hope this helped ☺️
I’d collect materials myself, but I’m always worried about chemicals like pesticides and fertilizer. Do you have any advice on how to tell if a piece of wood or a rock collected from the outdoors is safe?
Childrens play sand is perfect and super cheap
@@Ceretrea lol
I am one of the ones who say, "no, stop" but then you finish and it looks simply amazing!!! I do this the whole way, every time. You never disappoint. You create stunning tanks.
Ok got a mug of tea and some bikkies - this is going to be so much better than any film :)
You did a really amazing job! Can’t wait to see more of your art….. these planted tanks are the most beautiful style to me
Masterpiece!
Years of exciting and hard work captured in this project. Congratulations MD!
This is my dream. You clearly have a passion and you’ve turned it into a way to make money to fuel it. Bravo sir.
That’s Art ! Absolutely beautiful ❤🥰 you should get some kind of award 🥉 for that tank 😊
Had me a 6x2x2 years back a home built tank. I made it amazonian. All I did to feed plants i dropped in two drops tiny drops of babybio. Worked a treat . Healthy Healthy plants and fish thrived. No drama at all.
Such a beautiful tank and a wonderful variety of fish species as well. Well done sir.
You are a true myth buster. A fantastic job!
BTW, MD really needs to get credit for how physical it is to get tanks running, especially in his old studio, hauling buckets of water. This was really exhausting 😂, to fill and do my 1st water change and I only have a 29 gallon breeder tank. Unbelievable how much water that actually is 😂 I'm just appreciating your efforts and the work it takes to set up tanks 🎉 the end results are always wonderful and great learning experiences. I'm so happy I stumbled on this channel for the wealth of knowledge and also the feel of this channel and the people who follow.
That tank is exceptional, truly amazing!
I have been watching you since the beginning. I have to say that this tank is absolutely beautiful. Amazing work my friend
Can’t wait to sit down later after work and watch this MD! Love your videos!
Lovely video, showing every step of the process of setting up such a huge aquarium. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks much!
1:10:20 spraying water on the front glass makes it smoother when cleaning the glass using magnet scrapers.. 😊
just watched this video super stoned! Looks so good! Good Work!
Love all your videos very helpful, spend all day watching them. Wish I had your set up but one day.
I'd love to see more about the "setbacks" you sometimes run into, and what you do about them. You mentioned you got pretty good at spotting what needs changing in the first 4 weeks so that after this period it's on autopilot. That's the sort of thing I'd love to learn more about!
Youve inspired me to get my very own 8 foot tank.. being built as i enjoy this video...
My favorite video of yours so far. Stunning tank. You have a gift, thank you for sharing.
OMG 😮it’s absolutely beautiful and I love the amount of fish , I wish I could do something like that. It’s beautiful to look at. Love your work and videos ,so you should be proud 😊
Amazing aquarium. I love that you put Keyhole Cichlids in the tank. They don't get a lot of love because they are not super colorful. But they are perfect tank mates in a community setup. Other than the Bolivian Ram, the Keyhole is my second favorite Cichlid of all time. Great choice.
This tank is EPIC, MD!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS
Absolutely brilliant video mate. Stunning result. Big well done 👏
I am so jealous. So beautiful!
I am new to this thing, dont know anything about tanks, but I loved it. maybe plants a bit too much but colors are unbelievable
oh my GOD bro I just saw 3 months phase, what the fak man, rainbow does not have so many colors
Thanks so much for making 1 and a half hours of my day amazing and inspiring
Best setup I've ever seen MD, you really out did yourself,. Thank you for the inspiration
Yes! Love the long videos with full start to finish builds!
This is a true work of art, what a wonderful aquarium!
Love your tank...well done n yes the more plants the better the eco system is in your tank.
You should do a livestream with a cam on this tank so we can click on it and just watch the tank as it's going about in the day
Amazing looking tank, and yes, it looks so much better with the top on.
Loved this build video and all your efforts. Thanks!
It turned out amazing MD. It's a goals tank for sure.
WOW! That is the most beautiful ever! ❤
I get the feeling you are more about the decoration of the tank - hahahahaha. They still all look amazing. I get you totally - I'm all about decor!
Watched most of his videos he goes in to eye details everywhere is a master piece 👌
That’s fantastic video. Well explained and came out beautifully. Well done 👏
Good one MD, I was hoping for a compilation of this tank. It looks amazing.
Side note. More species adventures and more salt water? So many unknown species. With every new one you introduce is literally a HUGE learning opportunity for fisheries. I know they’re just your personal tanks, but even real researches don’t always get such a close opportunity to explore individual species and different environments/ relationships, etc. thanks…. Always love ! Happy to have this opportunity to experience, even if I don’t have it
Breathtaking.
Absolutely dream tank❤
Eines der schönsten Aquarien❤
I totally understand the purists pov to want to keep African fish together and native fish together, etc but personally myself, I love a good melting pot so to speak of all kinds of fish, and plants and even scaping style together in one tank, especially with one this large. The community style of this tank gives your eyes so many places to look but it's not too busy either. I love it so much! The colors, the different sizes of fish, the different levels they swim at, all give plenty of eye pleasing gratification. I think some Cories would look great in there as well..I love those... but it looks amazing already as well. You've don't something really special here and I'm really missing my tank now lol. 😂 But at least I can come here and see your creations. I could sit n watch this tank for hours. Gorgeous! Great job! 🥰 🐡🐠🐟🐡🐠🐟🐡🐠🐟🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿💧💧💧💧
Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.
Incredible accomplishment congrats 🎉
This is by far the best tank u have done
Amazing as usual, I envy your tanks man. I wish we can visit your studio
beautiful, excellent work.
I love to watch you do this the way you demonstrate ❤ you
I’m starting my six foot build and this is my inspiration! Amazing is an understatement!
very nice l like all the plants and all the fish l like alot of fish it's more nature to me
I'm so jealous!
I really want that tank 😍
Dieser Pott ist echt dein tollstes Projekt! 👍👍
Why is aquascaping so expensive 😭 if I had the materials I would make the best tank ever
Simple aquascapes are not expensive. Plenty of videos out there on how to do them. Patience is key
The story of my Life😢
Same 😢😢
I have to scape with rocks,sand,wood which are collected by me from nearby 😊
convenience costs money but nature is free. go outside and you'll find something good eventually!
Do his no filter set up you’ll save money
i've been watching the serie of this tank and im about to take 1h29 to watch it again because you're the best i really enjoy your videos. i recently bought my first tank a 90L from superfish that i've seen on your channel (maybe it was a smaler version) im going for 5 amano shrimps 2 honey gourami and 12 celestial pearl Danios you got me in xD
Wishing you best luck and fun, from France !
Just found your channel. Tank looks amazing!
your work is outstanding
Absolutely spectacular 👌 🙌 🤩
So peaceful and beautiful, love it 🥰
Great success ❤❤❤
Apparently amazing you have done a really great job
This is amazing. Wow.
I think we all love the 8ft utopia and would enjoy more series, or vlogs in general. This has captivated our attention . Series make us feel more involved in the process but also the ever changing growth.
Damn! I have a dream like this too ❤
Man freaking bananas how good you are at this mate. These types of tanks are so huge and so overly stocked and planted that I’ve often wondered how people can truly look inside to see if they have any casualties. Don’t want dead fish just sitting in there. This tank, the stand, the substrate, the fish, the plants and aquascape AND labor cost… to put this in your home would cost you a cool $7,000-8,500
I would have TWO of those fx6s running on this though not one
Stunning. Amazing job.
I’m getting my first tank because of you and I can’t wait to get started❤
Beutiful tank, like a natural firework. Would be nice to see a dedicated build with fast energetic fish. The trouble makers in the neighbourhood.
54:52 or squeeze a cycled foam filter. Make it dirty for it to be clean.. seeding.
Great work mate very impressed
Gorgeous aquarium 😍🥰
Awesome Work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MD yor are awsome .................... I am a fishkeeper too from Bangladesh. Hope the best for you and your family . How is your sons doing......give them love from me
