- Building THE AMAZON Tank (part 1) | MD Fish Tanks
It begins. I've been planning this aquarium build for a long time. It will be released in a series of videos so that I don't have to rush any of it. In a few months time when it has all grown in great and stocked, I will put it ll together for one epic video, start to finish. That should be pretty nice! 😊

What is the link for the sand ?
Hi MD I was wondering if you could fish tank challenges sent in by listeners. Eg 50l tank and £25 to scape. I don't have much money but I love the hobby and your videos?
It would be amazing if you could!
Loving the vids btw
now that's a tank
@@fjkhamdan yer ik but md would find away to make a master piece 😅
As a qualified carpenter that saw made my O. C. D "go crazy" 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone take a minute to say thank you to MD for putting out quality content so often
thanks spencer :)
Thank u for the amazing quality perfection content
Thank you
Hellllll yh
Thank you!!!!!🦐
This mans an icon. No fancy ADA stuff. $500 lights and equipment. Yet the results are top notch
You don't ever have to apologize for your professionalism or lack thereof. You have a naturally artistic eye which fills everything you touch with beauty that is nothing short of moving. From your aquascapes to choosing who lives in them to your videography it is all eye candy and everyone in my household, at least greatly admires it and are always pleased and satisfied watching your works. Thank you!
Don't normally post comments on videos. just want to thank MD for these regular great contents. MD is handy, talented, attention to details on this hobby. Def a whole lot of enjoyment to watch. Thanks man! Keep up the good work.
You can do what The King of DIY does and put a black curtain at the stand.
I will have all the life support down there. Keep it on show. Might add some plants and a light as well.
@@MDFishTanks that's why I love you :3
The King of DIY thing to do would be to call all of his young followers "fat", while showing off his girlfriend in a live stream, as if she were a piece of meat, like a bully =P
Fish politics ey
Please never be like King of DIY, MD! unless its purely about the success of the channel of course
@@1991ryanlcome on though. The King Of DIY has done a huge amount for this hobby in terms of education, pushing boundaries and creating great solutions for people without a large budget. This channel is about positivity my friend. Let's keep it that way :)
@@MDFishTanks thanks for the response :)
I tried to end my comment in a positive way!
I guess my point is that all the education and brilliant videos personally mean nothing to me, when the person behind it isn't fundamentally a good guy.. I watched every one of his videos for years, like I do with yours now!
Keep up the good work, I appreciate what you do :)
Just one word you deserve sir "Legend". Lots of love.
Sir it's unbelievable that I have got 💓 from you. It's my first time . Lots of love . I'M A HUGE FAN OF YOURS.
From India.
"We-hellcome back, guys"
"waaaaaaaahale-cum back to the vlog" 🤣
@@MDFishTanks lmfao I just realized what that said
Morning coffee and an MD vid...perfect way to start the day here in Pennsylvania
I remember my dad building a tank stand years ago and using gaffa tape/electricians tape to blacken the edge of the foam 👍
"LIKE A GLOVE!"
Hello my friend I hope you and your family are all doing well, I wanted to say that I appreciate your channel you have some of the best scape's that I have ever seen in the aquarium hobby and I have enjoyed watching each one of your builds, I have well over I would say fifty tanks within my own home and your channel has always gave me inspiration, May everything and everyone that comes your way provide you with kindness and happiness my friend. Thank You
Thanks for being so regular, even if you don't have scapes to scape.... teach us something like a daily show. Love from India ❤️
MD you should do an African dwarf frog tank! They've got so much personality and youd love them!
That would be dope
Because of your videos I started my own aquarium obsession! I have a 55 litre tank for my Betta male and some otocinclus and nerite snails. A few weeks ago I found a very affordable 125litre tank which is now the home of two tiny lionhead goldfish and 2 mystery snails. They (the snails) gave me their first eggs this morning and I’m soo excited!! Thank you for bringing me this joy. I find that they really help with my depression too!
The best beginner friendly aquascaping channel there is. MD deserves more subscribers. Such a humble, talented and friendly brother.
just a suggestion MD, but it would be good to have a facade board (just a piece of pine plywood stained the same colour) tacked on the front of that stand you built, maybe 30cm wide. It would cover the joints and that endgrain, and make it look real tidy. Nothing complicated, but it would really make it look spiffy.
I like it!.... I like it a lot. You jumping on the table bought back bad memories. I had a piece of Ash tree trunk that I wanted to calve. So I had the bright idea of putting it on my Black & Decker Work bench outside. I had stood on the work bench many times in the past but just wanted to check that it was OK to take the weight of the trunk. Now the trunk was nearly 4ft high by 22" wide so it weighed heavy. I tested my work bench by doing a couple of push ups on it...... I weigh just over 20 stone and bang went the bench. I had landed with my chest against the work bench table! It had collapsed under me. I was getting over a heart attack so my wife and neighbours panicked including myself. I was in massive pain.... And ambulanced to the hospital with blues and two's on. All while I was gasping on gas and air. I had broken 4 ribs... Cracked a further two... Extensive internal bruising. I couldn't stand or lay down without morphine! The internal bruising was so bad it could be seen on the inside of my throat when I opened my mouth! I had a massive surface bruise on my chest... JET BLACK it looked like a woman's crop top and lasted for weeks! When I could walk I examined my work bench... All the square tubular frame was mangled up and couldn't be used! So Needless to say the Ash tree trunk still stands in the corner of my garden. I was really lucky.
Please be careful when test the strength of things... It could end up in agony! Take care my friend and I look forward to the 2nd installment of the Amazon tank👍😷👍
Love it! Looking forward to part 2.
Like a glove 🧤 now these tanks just keep looking better and better md is on 🔥
Looks good, can't wait for the rest of the vid!
Who else though him drilling and making the stand was oddly satisfying? BTW love your vids!
Just bout to set up a new tank, so bout to watch a crap ton of MD for some inspiration 😆
Absolutely love this. I am so excited, can’t wait
I definitely want to see some tetras!
I don't know how I've been missing getting your videos watched and commented on?!.!awwYeah!!! But I want you to know MD I've been here since the beginning and even though I believe you are the greatest RUclipsr around, not just the best RUclips.r you're the greatest person around and I enjoy your videos more than you'll ever know! Thank you so much for sharing inspiring us everyday!!!!❤️🙏🌿🤗🌿🤗🙏
I like the background feature outside the aquarium
Loving your videos MD! Can’t wait to see how this turns out.
Would love love love if you did a monthly tour of all your tanks. So hard to keep up with what you have, and what you changed or redid. Maybe start for vlog #100??
Lovin' This!! So glad you're taking us along on your 'Amazonian Journey'!
Thanks so much for the videos!
Your enthusiasm and “use what you got attitude” is what really makes what you do special.
The jokes and fun you have has gotten my 8yr old daughter interested in watching your channel. She is now asking me to put on fish videos!!
Thanks so much!!
This is gonna be epic. I’d love to see some geophagus in there !
I find your videos so inspiring. I'll send you pictures if my 5th and favourite aquascape so far in a few days once all the finishing touches are complete. I wouldn't have done it without your advice.
Nice video as always! Please consider using torx screws. They’re so much better. No rattling around the screwhead anymore. And easily sinking the screws down into the wood if you want to without any troubles. Give it a try!
I love your ideas! Especially the wall coverings. I am in the process of building a two tier aquarium rack that is 8' long, 32" high, and 15" deep. I am definitely going to put something on the wall like you did! Keep up the good work!
Stand looking good 👍 can’t wait
yes Toby!!! Keep pushing bud. More videos please. Your quality has increased massively in a short space of time :)
@@MDFishTanks wow thanks! The support is really appreciated
@@TobyCreates no probs. I watch most videos you post :)
@@MDFishTanks thank you, that really means a lot and I’ll strive to improve my content
Back to basics old school MD 👍
These vids are making me envious yet more fascinated
MD I love that you aren’t afraid to try new things I enjoy your creativity and I want to thank you because I’ve been thinking more creatively lately because of you!
This looks really beautiful. I will be doing this on my living room. It’s really looks good!!!
Coming back to this video bc of my new build so funny same tools, same hobbies and literally the same passion I totally want to meet you some day lol 😆
These are the longest videos on my subs list but feel like the shortest lol I dont want them to stop 😅
Good vibes - great content man 👌
Soapy water - It's better to use dishwashing detergent which may also leave some white smears, but they disappear faster. Nevertheless it's easier to use a black paint instead.
I'm so addicted to your VLOGs! I don't even mind the commercials! LOL. I could watch you build and scape tanks all day.
I just paint my black backgrounds with cheapest rubber/plastic based black paint. Comes off super easy with razorblades if I change my mind. :-) Really like the color of the stand too... Looks a little bit like my kitchen African Walnut.
Looking great MD...I do think bottom shelf, that you didn't mention, is essential for stability of this design of that stand. And I like the wood on walll, but for me I would have it be floor to ceiling. Looking forward to update
Im amazed how you make bad carpentry look so good
The best content on RUclips 100%.
MD i have started watching your vids scince u started youtubei love your vids they are so entertaining luv u my man
You're the man MD!!
i don't think you get enough credit, not a lot of people realize the time and patience and MONEY fish keeping takes and for you to be able to put out so much content so frequently is remarkable if you truly understand how much work it is. every fish/aquatic keeper is impressed with you MD:) also the shear knowledge you have is impressive, you keep fish and plants and that's your thing, to others that may seem simple and like its one single subject but it takes A LOT of knowledge about A LOT of different things to do what you do. keep crackin' lol
Un grand BRAVO 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Definitely been waiting for you to start on this one.
Really nice step by step tutorial
Can't wait for next installment
👍
MWF are the best days!!!
Thank you MD for putting out high quality content so often.
really quick and nice stand for your tank
My favorite channel right now
I have been looking forward to this, and can't wait to see the next one
Spot on artistically articulate !
Ever the craftsman. Awesome job! very inspiring
I am so excited to see this done now!!!!
You could attach a piece of wood to the front of your light stand where the lights are attached to cover the bent bracket? Looks good tho 👍🏼
really excited for this build series!!
Can't wait.. for fishies and plants..
Thank you for the wonderful work you do and the inspiration you give to all of us!!
I'm glad I'm not the only person who still says "like a glove!"
"WuHelcome back, why did I say it like that?"
To using it for every video since... Lol, you crack me up! I love your videos.
i never like vedioes,but in your vedioes i can"t never resist to press like.
So great
I am stunned every time you upload a video! Dude you are amazing ❤️
That tank, stand and background looks great. Well done.
I NEED PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! much love from miami, fl u.s.a!!!
When I watched 3:12 I was scared it would break and you would fall right on one of the upright beams! Thank god that didn't happen!
pice of floor visible: a
Aquarists: i can fit a tank in here
True, I'm considering putting a nano tank near a waste bin. xD
👁🧠💥😆🤣 sftrue!!! I seriously never realized it til this post. I'm ded☠
Can't wait to see this tank scaped!!
The hits just keep on comin’! Thanks!!
Can’t wait for the next episode 💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
You have a planted discus tank. How do you manage plants and discus at the same time.... What plants to use in discus aquarium. Because discus lives in warm water and most of the plants can't tolerate high temperature. So what's the temperature you keep them alive and happy? Also what fertilizer to use what not to do.... Etc..... You understanding? If you do a video guide about how to keeping discus in planted tank...... It will be very helpful.... Thanks🙏. Love your tanks❤️
This man works!
Getting energized and inspirated from this! Looking forward to the next upload.
thank you for everything you do MD :)
This looks awsome what youve done. Ive just got myself a 4ft tank and it's giving me some really good ideas to think about
Lovely build. Those lights look lovely as is
Its amazing specially after putting the background 😍😍😍😍😍
Couldn't figure it out until now but whenever you say "Oh yes!" It reminds me of Willie Wibblesock from Anno 1800
looks like you are a good carpenter. I really like the lighting set up.
You look like you look in the US so every time I click your vids, the English accent surprises me. Every time.
The tank is beautiful!! I lived down in northern Brazil for half a year and so far it makes me want a tank just like it 😂 it reminds me so much of something I’d find there. It’s truly that reflection of being there, I just can’t wait to see how it’ll turn out when finished 👌🏻
I cant sop watching your videos! I'm like obsessed and i guess never spend so much time on YT!!! Cheers from PL
really appreciate the video production, very entertaining and informative. thx for being awesome.
so excited for it MD, keep it up!!
OMG! Can’t wait for the next video of this Amazon tank!!
Exquisite use of paper towel noted.
My partner will never understand that bit but I am with ya, MD. A sexy tank, indeed.
Pressée de voire la deuxième partie 😉😊
The sound in the beginning got my parents suspicious.
5 am?! That's some serious hustle, nice work man! :)
up at 4am in the studio at 5am. Get it!!!
@@MDFishTanks That's serious dedication and it's paying off 100% - the studio looks incredible!
Good Stuff Bro....Hoorah!!
Love your work mate i like how you are soooo excited for your job
I actually really like the shapes you've created with the lights(even if it wasn't intentional)! I'm sure they'll tie in well with the hardscape. ❤
The strength test on the stand was funny..😀
