1st Job MD'ers...like the video for me. It helps more than you know! Can we hit 2000 likes??? The build continues guys. It's time to now add some substrate and sort out the filtration. This tank is coming along even better than I ever expected and it's great to have a focus on at this time. Hopefully I'm providing you guys with some positivity and a much needed distraction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓, 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁: th-cam.com/channels/3uQXzXSPspf2LoGdtYGiHw.htmljoin FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/md_fishtanks/ For business enquiries: sivadcram@gmail.com AWESOME tanks from aquariums4life.co.uk All my plants are from Tropica: www.tropica.com All my hardscape is from Aquarium Gardens: www.aquariumgardens.co.uk/ Items i use regularly: Tropica Aquasoil: US: amzn.to/2JSU4qe UK: amzn.to/34GQsjp Tropica Substrate Powder: UK: amzn.to/2JROmVT Tropica Ferts Premium: amzn.to/2CaTakS Tropica Ferts Specialised: amzn.to/2WLgOxV Tropica Nutrition Capsules: UK amzn.to/36xqMau US amzn.to/2JQSfKp Opti White Nano Tank & Light: amzn.to/2pwuy3h You can buy the bowls i use here: Amazon UK: amzn.to/2Vx73CL Amazon.com: amzn.to/2M4FwFO

I cant stoo watching your videos. Been watching them from the oldest and workinf my way through and you inspired me to do my own scape. So i started with a very small simple one in a 19litre fry tank and im so happy with it. I would of never done it if I hadn't been watching your videos so THANK YOU! going to collect some stuff from outside like a weirdo now to do my slightly bigger 70l guppy tank.
I don't comment on videos. I started watching in March and have scaped 4 aquariums and a large paladarium since. You have inspired a very satisfying hobby. Thank you and keep up the amazing content. Jim in the US.
You really only want to keep them in a breeding pair unless you want to go for about 4 females in a very large tank ( 30 gal for first 2 and 10 gal for each additional) The mated pair can get pretty nasty to other angels
All natural is the best! My 50gallon tank is aquascaped with rocks and substraight from the beach. (Sived and bleached to remove unwanted salts and critters)
All right boss you keep on talking about these flies I think if you were to add some nepenthes especially to that River tank would look amazing and would help regularly get rid of flies
@@MDFishTanks Also, when I was looking at the cloudy water before it was filtered I was just thinking how cool it would look if there was mist that came down with the water. Also super excited for that angel fish build :)
Always so fun to follow your adventures, for one thing you're just so stinkin cute, but you truly love and care for your critters to a fault, good for you for making everyday life so enjoyable...love your vids...!
This video you inspired many to make a Scape using available material near their house . Most creative ,inspiring video. More than anything money saving episode 😁😁😁
Yeah the vlogs are more in depth as usually I have to cut out a lot for a build video to keep it shorter. I will do a full build video putting the key points together with narration at the end of the build and vlog.
@@MDFishTanks pancho's interest in it too is so cute. Properly thinking bloody hell what's he getting now 🙄 the vlogs is defo useful in terms of details for the build learning about these is how we all learn and improve. 👍
this is definitely one of my new favorites! its all so sharp and simple and i think that the newts will look awsome in ther! amazing work as allways MD!
Thank you for not ignoring my comment on the last vid. about lids. Im still going to support you, and also help in simply giving advice. Love your videos♡
Wow looks great! I love the setup of this tank! I love how active your channel is! It's nice to see a youtuber that also uploads very frequently like I do!!! :)
I love your goldfish by the way too they are so cute! I have two goldfish of my own right now and they are Luna a shubunkin goldfish and Hector a Black moor goldfish! And I swear they are going to become the stars of my TH-cam channel! 😂
Creative as always - genuine enthusiasm, entertaining rambling backed up by experimentation, action and execution 👌👍 what more can anyone want from a TH-cam aquascaper
just a thought, but that substrate collected from the river might be packed with nutrients, might cause a bit of an algae bloom initially. keep eyes open for that. unless of course a shit-tonne of plants are added to mitigate. just a thought like. awesome work though. studio is really coming together. please clad the rainbow river stand ffs. best fish channel dude. you rock, literally!
Just a BTW but in the wild newts are found in ponds and sometimes boggy areas on heaths and moorlands (outside the breeding season) so rocks are not their natural environment, if that's what you're going for 😊
Look up the DD JUMPGUARD net frame (it’s for reef tanks) but would be perfect for this tank, it’s really need and you make it to your specific size.... means you won’t have to put tabs in yourself to hold the lid as it comes with a lip which sits on the glass snuggly 😊
Looooooove the substrate you found!! I’ve been on a quest to find gravel that isn’t polish. Hard to find! I have a lot of stone around where I live but I worry the stones might leach too many minerals into the water. I’m not really sure what I have around here. Lots of granite and quarts I’m sure but I don’t know if I’d recognize if I ended up with something else
I've just put it in and will test later on to make sure we are all good before putting aquatic life in. The way I see it, this rock makes up most of the river and it's full of aquatic life so should be ok.
Just a thought me if you go to a fishing shop they should have clear fish netting will look 100x better as you can't see it on camera and can look straight threw comes in diff sizes too
Where did you find your wood/root pieces? What kind of wood is it? What about the moss? I looove how beautiful these aquascape's are and I would love to experiment but frankly I don't have the pocket for that!! I mean I feel like getting this stuff from the environment around us is awesome. Do you purchase most of your materials?
Im not sure what you feed your rainbow river tank, but may I suggest a powdered food (Bacter AE). Its been working really well for me and I bet your shrimp and hillstreams will love it.
Love what ya do still man:) I love coming home to look over my plants and see whats going so I always love the cinematic at the end. What do you reckon of a 4k in the future?? Your stuff will still look great with more pixels I promise!
Your axolotl looks big enough now to be on earthworms blood worms should be given as a treat. no hate. love your channel love your tanks it's just I keep alot of axolotls lol
Could you give some tips on slowing the flow on a standard hang on the back filter. I have 3 African dwarf frogs and they like a slower flow. The filter I have now isn’t extremely strong but it could be slower. Thanks!
Maybe I missed it but I don't think you've specified what kind of newt you'll be keeping? I'm currently looking into fire belly newts myself, I think they're fantastic little creatures. I do hope you'll be educating people on the fungus that's common in newts.
Looking good, I liked the first scape the best I think, before you stacked the top and right side for the waterfall. Still looks cool tho, are you going to add some plants?
Great scape , any idea when you will do the big poncho project? I have two axos myself and am desperately searching for a nice and dark jungle scape , so I am exited to see what you’ll do . Also here in Germany ( German axo community) using wood in axo tanks is a big no go because of the bacteria that it brings in/find a great breeding spot on it . It’s said axos could be more prone to diseases. I wanted to ask if you had noticed anything like that because I would really love to use real wood in my tank too but I’m really afraid haha
you will lose the siphon on the inlet if the water level drops below it...and its only just above it when in opperation. Not a huge problem but a bit of a pain to get it going again because of physics.
Would Pancho eat kuhli loaches if you added them to his tank? I think he'd leave them alone because of how long they are. They might might clean up all those extra blood worms for you!
I bet the delivery guy was confused when he saw that there were rocks in the box 😂😂😂 Delivery Guy: "Carrying box" *"Box tears open"* Delivery Guy: WhAt ThE?.... He probably has so many questions 😂😂😂
What would you suggest for a tight budget? I have NOT got aquarium for life money 😂 ill probably have £150 budget for maby 170l tank including filter/heater 😂😂😂
1st Job MD'ers...like the video for me. It helps more than you know! Can we hit 2000 likes???

Me and my daughter started aquarium in October and started watching your videos. Such an inspiration. Thank you, thank you.
And another brilliant tank.
The world needs your cheerfulness. Big thanks!
thank you.
Can't wait for the angel fish scape.
When they are ready to breed of and get extremely aggresive
I've never had them so will need to research that area...or get all of one sex??
You really only want to keep them in a breeding pair unless you want to go for about 4 females in a very large tank ( 30 gal for first 2 and 10 gal for each additional) The mated pair can get pretty nasty to other angels
Seriously, this new studio has exceeded my expectations! Awesome MD!!
Hi ,good to see how you play around with different ideas and plans until you get the result you want , impressive.
素敵です。very nice!!
日本から応援しています！
fight！I'm from JAPAN！！
I Love your movies！！！！
thank you :)
Scapes coming along nicely!
Have always looked forward to new vlogs.... but more so now that we are all stuck at home here in 🇨🇦!! Thanks for keeping at it!!
All natural is the best! My 50gallon tank is aquascaped with rocks and substraight from the beach. (Sived and bleached to remove unwanted salts and critters)
nice!
Love this locally sourced stuff without disturbing ecosystems too much and hopefully not drowning in flooded rivers( annoying) or getting arrested.❤
yeah, we just have to make sure we only use a little...and get land owners permission.
I love what you've done with the new studio. Been here for a bit and I absolutely love everything
Run a pipe into the bottom of plastic cup fill with medium gravel and hide behind rocks
work well 👍🏻
I love just seeing you publishing a new video
another one coming on Friday :)
@@MDFishTanks thats great
@@fredrikfredrik8172 :)
Amazing set-up.
I love seeing moss on rocks.
Those little patches of moss on the rocks looks amazing ❤️
thank you :)
All right boss you keep on talking about these flies I think if you were to add some nepenthes especially to that River tank would look amazing and would help regularly get rid of flies
Looks really cool 😎 can’t wait to see the newts in there
This tank looks so natural. I have to start getting gravel from rivers myself
make sure you have the land owners permission.
@@MDFishTanks my aunt actually owns a property that has a river running right beside. Next time I'm there I'll collect some because you inspired me
I wish rivers had rocks near me. All I have is red clay... unfortunately
Excellent aquascape

O man looks amazing cant wait to see the newts! ^-^
we might have to wait a little bit...
That's ok lol
Really suprised you aren't using lilly pipes with surface skimmers. They make the tanks look so much classier! Love the tank. All the best.
too much faff cleaning them. All about the black pipes and easy maintenance.

nice!! :D
Nice new paludarium
It's coming along rather nicely Really like these progress videos
thanks mate. Next one on friday. Working on it now.

Gorgeous tanks, love your work.
thank you
Creative as always - genuine enthusiasm, entertaining rambling backed up by experimentation, action and execution 👌👍 what more can anyone want from a TH-cam aquascaper
haha. Cheers Andrew :)
keep up good MD, would be nice to see some tank mates in panchow tank
yeah but they are best suited on their own.
just a thought, but that substrate collected from the river might be packed with nutrients, might cause a bit of an algae bloom initially. keep eyes open for that. unless of course a shit-tonne of plants are added to mitigate. just a thought like. awesome work though. studio is really coming together. please clad the rainbow river stand ffs. best fish channel dude. you rock, literally!
I should marry a man like these next time to always build such beautiful tanks together
I think it'd look great planted with mosses, ferns, maybe a horsetail, and liverwort.
go to town!
Love the vids! I would like to see a maintenance video of what you do for each tank to keep it balanced and things like that.
I thend to include this in most videos Taylor?? change the water and clean the glass lol
@@MDFishTanks I saw that. thought there might be more to it. lol
The scape rocks.

yeah sounds like a good idea.

What are the powerhead filters that you are using. Thanks.
Im not sure what you feed your rainbow river tank, but may I suggest a powdered food (Bacter AE). Its been working really well for me and I bet your shrimp and hillstreams will love it.
Ponchos like why you messing with my sand wall?!
Very great
Name pancho's neighbour Cadbury in memory of choco:'( RIP CHOCO
not even sure what im getting yet species wise.
Love what ya do still man:) I love coming home to look over my plants and see whats going so I always love the cinematic at the end. What do you reckon of a 4k in the future?? Your stuff will still look great with more pixels I promise!
Hello, will you add a "mist" system like in Pancho's tank? It could look cool.
I might even add the one from pancho's as I forget to use it on his.
Your axolotl looks big enough now to be on earthworms blood worms should be given as a treat.
no hate. love your channel love your tanks it's just I keep alot of axolotls lol
Love the cinematic shot at the end with some soothing music..what’s the track?
Also...mudskippers please
Man i am loving these kind of updates! Also, is there some spawning behaviour in the rainbow river?! Keep it up, MD, the studio is looking brilliant!
thank you. Yeah seems to be every morning at lights on...not seen any eggs or fry yet though.
How do you wash things you get from outside? Just with water? Do you use any chemicals to sterilize?
yeah just water :)
Ok thank you!
What kind of filter is that? I’m looking for a filter with a hose like that to do a waterfall.
The last two videos are just:
“Alright, now I’m back down by the river.”
haha. I did say I like that part of the river :) I do like to think i've added a little more content than that though...
The river looks like my place, all flooded and everything, can’t even fish on spring break
cant fish??
You know with a pole and line
You should get fire bellied toads I am a bout to get some I have a them before they are amazing
I’ve been watching you since you had 7000 subs
thanks Warwick
CEO of watching MD fish tanks during online school
large and in charge
MD: “no heaters look good”
Heater companies: *ight imna head out*
For the newts im keeping it wont be needed to be honest.
Could you give some tips on slowing the flow on a standard hang on the back filter. I have 3 African dwarf frogs and they like a slower flow. The filter I have now isn’t extremely strong but it could be slower. Thanks!
Do you have to have a special light for moss and plants?
I like this youtube recommedation, may I ask is the dimensions of the cube tank +- 70 cm depth and width ? Self-made I guess ?
💕💕💕
Man your're killing it! Keep them coming. Also love the music at the end. Can you tell the name of the artist?
he's gonna escape!
Maybe I missed it but I don't think you've specified what kind of newt you'll be keeping? I'm currently looking into fire belly newts myself, I think they're fantastic little creatures.
I do hope you'll be educating people on the fungus that's common in newts.
Where can I find that filter with the built in heater
Looking good, I liked the first scape the best I think, before you stacked the top and right side for the waterfall. Still looks cool tho, are you going to add some plants?
yeah me too....that's why I put it back come the end. All will come to life next video :D
I know you have "good water", but do you have to use a dechlorinator with any new water?
yes always. But not in this setup as it will sit and gas off way before any animals are added.
Great scape , any idea when you will do the big poncho project? I have two axos myself and am desperately searching for a nice and dark jungle scape , so I am exited to see what you’ll do .

I've not seen that myself but couldnt say it is not correct either. I wont need to upgrade Panchos tank for a while although he is growing well.
Nobody:
Pancho: *Gib mee blud werm*
munch!
*C H O M P*
4:13 , just turn the filter off when you do your waterchanges
you will lose the siphon on the inlet if the water level drops below it...and its only just above it when in opperation. Not a huge problem but a bit of a pain to get it going again because of physics.
