Md can you make a crayfish tank build?
@@spp2000 how is he bullying💀 they friends dum🍑
Can we get a victorian tidepool aquarium... how close to the coast are you??
The museum of aquarium and pet history has loads of videos about Victorian fishkeeping .. y'all should review some of his antique aquarium videos!!!
Boys you need electric blue jack dempsey cichlids .... and jaguar cichlids ... not together tho.😅
I missed the 2-4 minutes of just fish shots at the end, please bring that back!
Are you going to grow out a group of clown loaches for the 8 foot ?
Hi MD I have been following you for a while. To be honest I was going through a hard time in my life with work and home when I discovered your channel. I used your videos while I’m working to control my mood. Very calming and educating. I appreciate your service to RUclips, continue being awesome today!
PS love the TeamUp with Matt he is a really cool person love listening to him educate. You guys are really kicking butt organizing that studio. Is Kate jealous of Matt? Lol jk
Feel better. You're not alone in the world.
RUclips and the right channels can really bring peace which sounds weird but if you know you know.
what happen my friend
@@DavidDavis311great
Hi mate. I'm really glad my videos help you and you enjoy them. Stay safe 👍
Gotta say your decision to buy that huge piece of wood was a great call. And I love how Matt is introducing you to new species of fish. I think this is my favourite tank you've done so far.
Such a lovely team the two of you! I have a wish of something I'd like to see, and that would be a Q&A video once a week/biweekly or such because the two of you have well-rounded knowledge for answering a lot of viewer questions! (Also, Matt nerding out about fish facts is always so cute and fun to hear, I can see why you wanted him on!)
Even once a year would be appreciated!
I think a Reddit style AMA video on here would be the best bet, weekly or anything like that sounds like too much but 6 monthly or something would be amazing. Especially now with Matt on the team there will be loads of questions for the lads
This tank came together really nice, great job.
Live stream Q & A
@@moffitdrew they dont need to do it live but that works too
It's like the cut off wood was designed to come off and go there. One of my favorite scapes y'all have ever done together!
Thanks mate
Would love to see a Scape-off between MD and Matt, same size tank and that’s it, no winner just a fun video between friends.
In love with all of that dragonstone that you have lying around there!
Right? Would you like to share some with the class, MD? 😂
Love the scape! I really like that you're starting to bring the maintainence and feeding into your videos. It's nice to see exactly what it takes to maintain and keep a tank so big. Would love to see more content like this in the future!
I used to read books. 📚 no Internet in my day.
THE FIRST COLAB TANK SINCE THE HOLY UNION!!!! Was looking forward to this one!
This week in Daytona is going to be 🔥
Another great scape, you make it look so easy! Loving the banter between you both, teaming up like you have was a brilliant move and watching you grow your business together will be compelling viewing!!
Holy Schnikies Batman! This build is my new favorite!!! This turned out so gnarly. The fish look just brilliant in this tank.
Loving having Matt there as well. The humor & dumb jokes ..... keep 'em coming!
That big piece of wood gave the tank a fairy tale look and the fish really complimented the other . Definitely one of my favorite scales. Perfectly put together.
We really love the back wall shelf set up you did with the holding tanks. You and Matt work so well together. Sigh, wish our house was big enough to accommodate such big tank scapes. We love you guys. You gave us so many great ideas for our future scapes. 🎉
I love the camaraderie between you two. Beautiful build!
Ive watched this channel for years now and i always found it to be perfect for having in the back when i work or just messing around in the hobbyroom. I hope you read this guys, since Matt started working in the studio the quality have skyrocketed. Your channel is now hands down the best in my whole list of channel tyst i watch and get this… im not even a fish guy, im on that reptile ting. Bravo guys, bravo! Best of luck in the future and bit love from Sweden bois
Love seeing the behind the scenes of maintenance and keeping things going
This has got to be in the top best tanks you have made. Great job
This is your best tank scape yet,can't wait to see it mature.
I would LOVE to see more maintenance videos. Instruction from experienced keepers would be hugely beneficial. Equipment maintenance, tank maintenance, etc. There are so many videos of setups (which are amazing) but it's a long process and there's plenty that goes into it besides setting yourself up for success. Much love!
Hi MD. I just set up my very first lowtech planted tank all because of you! Thanks for giving me inspiration on doing this hobby. Im from the Philippines
Flow needs a raise for all the work she does 😅
As someone who does both fresh and saltwater I’m so excited you’re venturing into the world of marine aquaria!
Are you referring to a different video? the fish in this video are freshwater only.
@@shawnal6412 He mentions how they are going to be setting up saltwater.
@@prof.fishtanks I didn't notice that. But I was watching with a low volume.
Incredible result! You two are going from strength to strength! I'm looking forward to future updates on this tank!
Amazing build! Lovely to see both yours and Matt's creativity come together with the banter haha. Such beautiful fish, maintnenance videos sounds very interesting! Also can't wait to see and learn about salt water setups! Great work guys
I always use closed captioning because although I mostly watch British content, (and can even understand Scots) I hate to miss a single word of banter. The captioning service that you use is so exacting (most are often hilariously wrong) that today it read 'divver fish' for dither fish. Apparently, it has MD down perfectly!
Your partnership is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. This was a very enjoyable start to my dismal, rainy Portland Oregon day, thanks to you two!
Can't wait to meet you both this weekend!
I absolutely love the Blue Acara such a beautiful blue and orange colors. Brilliant well done mates. What a great duo. See ya
Love everything about this tank. Stunning. I'd love something like this in our home
I would just like to take a moments to appreciate how much hard work you put into this channel. You always have a great attitude and I love your mindset of jumping on an idea as soon as you have it instead of kicking it down the road until it never happens. I have recently incorporated that into my own life and it makes an incredible difference! Thank you for everything you do for the community and keep up the good work!!
The Dynamic Duo at it again !!! That tank is gorgeous and you guys are amazing 🥰
Absolutely natural and beautiful!! Love this tank
Wow I think this is my new favourite scape and fish selection.
Beautiful tank. You and Matt are an unbeatable team, superb creativity. Thanks for the videos I am always learning something.
really cool scape with that combination of wood and the dragonstone. Only about a year ago that I learned this about it. My shrimp love exploring all the crevices in the stones.
Such an amazing scape guys. Your team up was the best thing. Loving the education , banter and the amazing tanks you create. So amazing MD to see your channel grow from the shed in the garden 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐠🐟🐠🐟
It's a proven fact scaping is a good idea with a second person just to get that second opinion. Lovely set up and happy you both broke the rule in placing that drift wood dead center.
Great video, love watching you guys! But your video is missing B-roll of the fish and tank at the end!! 🐠🐟
SOOoo excited for the saltwater tanks MD! I cannot wait to see what you create with Matt
I just recently aquired and aquascaped my first aquarium (since childhood, anyway) because I was inspired by your channel, I love how simply you break things down and how much enthusiasm you both seem to have for the world of aquascaping and fishkeeping. I'll be introducing some shrimp, a few snails, and some corys to my tank in a few days, and I'm stoked! In doing my research, I found myself wanting some videos that go over good combinations of fish to keep in community tanks - I know you guys do consider and discuss how the fauna you're putting together get along for each specific project, but it would be cool to see a longer video where maybe you review some of the communities you've made, issues you've had with species not getting along, or how water parameters made keeping two or more species together more difficult than you thought, that sort of thing. Anyway, love the channel, keep it up!
The best one so far in my opinion. Good job guys.
Can’t wait for the saltwater series 😮
I wish these guys did home visits and scaped tanks for clients!
Love the tank! Hey MD, you NEED to do a mini-scape for some Dario-Dario. TRUST me on this one!
New video! Great way to start off my morning work day!
I absolutely LOVE Electric Blue Acaras, so i was so excited to see this video. Another stunning aquascape…wow. Amazing. You and Matt make such a good team. It must be a nice feeling to have some regular help with the tank maintenance. The new studio looks fantastic!
I love the rock on the the stump 16:55
This is one of the best tanks yet and you guys are just getting started. Amazing
Ah! I miss the footage of the fish at the end.
That is what makes your films so successful.
I always wait for that part the most. Ties it all together.
oooh, Christmas tank! the red mollies would be great for it.
Best episode together for sure! (Not that the others were bad) . Keep it up guys! Energy is starting to blend 🙏
“Screw the RULES!” ~ Literally love MD😂😂 **Also, Would love to see local access to NutriBase here in the US, thank you for being an interlocutor in that conversation!! PEACE 🤙🏽
Your both combination is superb, and your tank setups are going amazing .giving me a lot of new inspiration to go on with . Thank you for the effort.❤❤
You guys are really getting after it. This channel is officially next level. Best tank so far. You can never go wrong with Acara's
hahahaha this duo is incredible! Just the chemistry and the combination alone is enough make anyone jealous. Keep it up!
Yes! Hoplo cats - I love these! Big personalities (for a fish). Have had several of these over the years
Another great video by 2 of our favorite people!
I love all the videos you guys come.out with ita fin to see what tow great minds come up with for a set up.
You guys really make me wanna get back into fish keeping haha, brilliant tank build! Love the whole thing 😊
Love you guys! Making it so much fun, because the hobby should be fun! Love how you guys work off each other so well. So glad you teamed up, YES PLEASE GET THEM TO SHIP THE NUTRIBASE TO USA AND CANADA!!!!!
I have been looking for that product for soon long.
Great video! The only thing I missing is a video of the fish set to a bit of music at the end of your video like you used to do. Keep up the good work
Gorgeous scape, but tbh the monstera is overwatered. Black spots with yellow around it is a tell tale sign. It doesn't matter if it wasn't watered for a month if the soil doesn't breathe and the plant is in a pot without drainage holes. Compact soil will keep too wet at the bottom for too long and the plant roots rot, making the leaves go yellow.
I would advise keeping the monstera in a nursery pot with drainage holes and just using a decorative pot size or two larger than the nursery pot. And dumping out the water from the decorative pot few hours after watering so it isn't in standing water. But the monstera on the wall is overwatered and most likely if you unpot it, the roots will be gone and smell rotten 🙈
Was looking for this comment! Hopefully he changes to a good soil mix too, I've noticed my monsteras love a chunky soil mix and water once or twice a month (more like a quick drowning lol).
Loving the amazing videos, you 2 make a great team. With the chill out sofas it just gives me the impression that a podcast or Q&A could be hosted from that spot, would be an amazing addition to the channel or the MD brand. Even if not, i still really love just watching the content you guys put out 😀
Yes, I enjoy watching you clean a tank. Cool that you're bringing it back.
The running joke that Matt does all the work while MD sits and does nothing is SO funny.
We know y'all are both putting the work in, haha. And we appreciate you gus for it!
Hoplo catfish are my favourite bottom dwellers 😍
Not the flashiest, but the most personable fish I've ever owned. Always greeting when I walk by the aquarium and begging for food, banging the lid if food is too late 🤭
Stunning. You guys have got me thinking I might take up the hobby again, after a gap of many years.
Always watching your videos and ive learn a lot. Thanks for sharing ideas
Another wonderful tank! A friendly suggestion...try removing the piece of wood on the wall behind it...I think it interferes with the lines of the tank's awesome piece of wood. I love your channel so much.
Very nice scape, you too are destined for greatness!
Epic piece of hardscape! I would utilise the rear shelf as part of this hardscape and use more wood and terrestrial plants from the shelf to give the overall scape more depth.
Exactly! To not utilise the shelf within the scape is a waste, and using the shelf behind the tank for anything else will be distracting, I am sure MD and Matt will realise this themselves.
love the tanks, the fake ivy squares on the wall takeaway from the amazing tanks.
One of the best scape's ever . Shout out from Sydney
Great build!! That giant piece of wood😱 the fish look amazing in there and as usual the banter between you guys was hilarious. Very entertaining 🤣🤣🤣
I'm so excited seeing you going to try saltwater aquariums, It's fun being on both sides of the hobby
I don't know if I like watching this channel or if it just makes me sad for my tanks. No, seriously I LOVE watching and my tanks are doing great!! Fantastic that you have Matt onboard with the studio as well. I have been seeing the Electric Blues in my local store for a few months now and finally got my own. He's (actually think she) is incredible and luckily ignores my Gold Ram who also ignores her as well hahaha. Incredibly happy to see that you plan to crank up a few salt tanks as well. I've just setup my first salt tank since 30+ years ago when there was little to no help if you needed it. Keep the great videos coming and we'll keep watching. This video turned out a fantastic tank and properly nice home for these beautiful fish.
As much as i love your channel (and thats a lot) i do wonder about how much to take on with regards to how you do your substrates considering you break your tanks down after such a short time 🤔
And i know you'd like to see your tanks spotless all the time but i honestly learn more when you show them a little "in need" of maintenance, looks a lot more like my own then 😁
👍🏻😎I just got one the other day (Royal Acara) and it's about 2" long. I can't wait to watch this fish grow out.
Can't wait to see the 8ft tanks!!
Excellent job guy's love that piece of driftwood and the way you incorporate the rocks and plants.
Loved this setup, awesome looking tank. Well done gents
please do weekly timelapses of the whole studio during cleaning days!
Love this scape! Exciting times ahead with both your expertise and idea's!
I currently have a 29 gallon community tank for small fish. I am planning on a 55 gallon cichlid tank, excited!
17:41 This is giving me Game of Thrones, The Iron Throne vibes!
A bunch of new and interesting fishes, specially the royals and the catfish.
Electric Blue Acara are my absolute favorite. They have the best personalities! I don't know if common but I have a pair that pull up my stem plants daily.
If they are breeding they often rearrange their breeding territory so this sounds like what they are doing.
My two favorite lads
Might be your best one yet !!!
Oh man I can't wait for the update videos on this tank, awesome build guys!!!
Love the videos. Was a pleasure to meet yall at aquashella daytona! Unfortunately, our picture never made it, but I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Look forward to the saltwater adventures.
Extremely excited to see a saltwater build i was just watching your old videos
Beautifully done!
Eel Tank would be amazing Fire Eel as the studio pet 😄 🔥
Beautiful, and my favorite tank! Thanks 🙌🏼
By far, my favorite tank to date! Well done! 👏
Brilliant scape & fish!!! Just "monumental"!!!
👍💯👍
I’m so glad you guys are trying salt water, I was going to comment about you maybe getting nemo’s and anemone’s, but thought it was a bit of a stretch..
You two make me laugh! Great video as always… and you’ve inspired me with my aquascaping. Hope you’re having a great time in America
17:40 that looks awsome
