    Hi MD! I discovered you channel two weeks ago purely by chance, and now I am addicted! You are the only TH-camr for whom I have the bell turned on, I have watched more than 40 of your videos already!
    Something that would be really cool and that I think you haven’t done before is a tank with only carpeting plants (like Montecarlo and small Crypt), bear wood and loads of stem plants on the back. I would love to see how the stem plants develop over the course of the several months!

    I was think that in the old studio MD had so many rams and ram dedicated tanks dotted all other. Now he has 62 betta fish in 5 different tanks! I kind of miss the rams but bettas’ colors are so vibrant and unique that I think they fully compensate!

    Just watched a few videos of other people's Tank setups and by far MD Tanks are some of the absolute BEST on TH-cam. I'm not trying to hate on other people I'm just saying what you do is done very very well, from the Aquascaping to your set up of your studios and I've watched since the days of being in the Shed; you have always had a visually pleasing setup all-around and you also make sure the fish love their tanks.
    Very well done MD. 👍🏻💯

    Looks great! Regarding blue plants in the aquarium - I've actually had some recent success growing peacock selaginella (uncinata) partially submerged. As long as a decent amount of the plant is still in air & soil, it seems pretty willing to push out large fronds dipping underwater that still retain the blue iridescence, which looks absolutely spectacular under tank lights

    I already have my tropica substrate (I'm guessing this is pretty similar to the nutri base) and my bag of pond compost. I have plenty of plants I can trim, so all I need is a nice bit of wood and even more plants......oh, and the tank of course

    Hi MD, love your channel and learned a lot in last few months. Who said old "dogs" cant learn new tricks? LOL :) This is going to sound crazy but I've been keeping fish since late 60's - yes "when trees were toller". I just thought ok been there done that, right, not so quick I guess: I bred most freshwater common fish before I turned 15, then college, then US travel and restarted the hobby from very 1st salt tanks (when it was unheard of still) in early 80's, then salt water hobbiests invented wet and dry trikle system and I used it succesfully on large plexy tanks full of anykind of fish and no water changes ever. I thought what else do I need? Well from Fish Shop Matt's and my prespective that would be probably the top of the fish keepers mountain?
    Then come the Nanos, Bookshelf tanks and industry totally gets away from anything but glass tanks preferably rimless of cource. Dreams and priorities change (not for everyone of cource) but the new old is now growing plants and creating natural aquascapes - todays mainstream in our hobby. I'm like the most experienced infant obsorbing things like a sponge from your videos - ha ha ha. Anyway, keep up the most professional, highest quality, most informatively done video clips on youtube, guys, plus sounds like you have become close friends and it's fun to watch. 1 guy knows all about the fish and the other knows how to setup the greatest looking natural tanks ! Just 1 comment though: we seem to get a better and wider variety of fish y'all but maybe bc of our much bigger metropoliten area of LA/OC, CA, IDK? Cheers, love ya guys, Von

    Hey MD, just a thought…if you want to weigh down your wood with a flat base instead of using rocks underneath you could just use slate it’s a good alternative if you still want the wood to sit flat.
    It also works on-top of pvc pipes to stop them floating. I’ve used it to make pleco hideouts and they always use them. I’ve never had issues using it.
    I love how different this tank is. It’s nice to see a different style from you and it still looks great. 👌🏼😊

    There are blue and purple "plants" in the saltwater world. Check out blue hypnea. Technically it's a macro algae not a plant but some people have marine planted tanks with all kinds of wild stuff like that. I know saltwater aquariums aren't exactly in your wheelhouse but they are still interesting to look into.

    I read cement bricks may have a PH of 9-10. The impact of that source of alkaline long term in your tank will be really helpful to know. The 8 day presoak was a smart.
    I hope you can find the time to provide a PH update in a say a couple of months when things have settled.
    Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

    I have always wanted to make a terraced tank to look like the terraced rice paddies! Use some small leafed ground cover plant like monte carlo or cuba, some anubias between the rocks of the terrace, and have a bunch of cherry shrimp and a single betta in there. This is a bit different, but interesting to see how you made the terraces.

    There’s definitely a market for super fish in the US, tanks are generally quite expensive here. There are cheaper options but I’ve had way too many fail. Most if not all of the cheaper options have rims on them, and I think we all have similar feelings on rimmed tanks

    MD Fish Tanks, here is my fantasy 4’ tank. Light colored natural sand; 3 gnarly rootstocks with trunks sticking up out of water about 2 to 3cm; semi-transparent wavy strappy plants that look like kelp moving with the current; the most outrageous and colorful underwater plantscape that you’ve ever done, that exaggerates depth and dimension; 3 levels of interesting fish and shrimp; an asymmetrical design. I want to be visually intoxicated by this tank!

    Hi MD. I know you like Nutri Base when setting up a new scape. But it is not available in most parts of the world…..and you have followers all over the world. As a suggestion, when you mention products that may not be readily available in other parts of the world could you mention alternatives or other options so we can still learn from your experiences. For instance, it wasn’t that long ago you used to place aquasoil in media bags and then cap with a substrate. For the newbies on your channel maybe mention that option as an alternative next time you use Nutri Base.

    I am not sure if you noticed but when you released the Green Neon's quite a few of them wedged into the brick on the bottom left side of the tank. I found myself obsessed with looking at them, I was so worried for them! The timing of the end was perfect because just before the end of the clip they got fed up being trapped there and wiggled free. That immediately released my intense anxiety for the little dudes. The build turned out beautifully!

    I agree Superfish is great. Affordable and easy to use. About every pet/aquarium store in The Netherlands sells this brand and if you need something on the go, there is always a shop nearby to get what you need.
    But I did replace the medium in the internal filter of my Start 50 with crystal biological medium since they always come with active carbon in them. And it's nice they come with tools, liquid bacteria and a packet of quality dry fish food.
