For the time being...You could possibly step the blocks towards the wall.
Instead of burning your mismatched stands, how about adding an inexpensive tank & set up, then donating them to a classroom, or to a bedridden/ handicapped child or adult to enjoy? Could some stains and sealants be dangerous when burned? BTW- Matt, you are an INCREDIBLE addition to this channel! I love watching and listening to you guys! Cheers from 🇺🇲➡️🇬🇧✌🏻❤🙏🏻🎉
Have to be honest. MD and Matt, you guys do an amazing job and I really appreciate the fact that you don’t sugarcoat your videos and are real with what you do. Thank you for amazing channels and keep the videos coming!
Edit: some of you might have got a notification for this that didn't work. Had to reupload because the audio was messed up. Should be fixed now.
I was wondering you would re-upload lol nice to see!
Yeah i thougt because i camera back from football and i thougt like hmm where is my video 🧐😂😂😂😂
Just a thought on the Emperor's. Could it been from a sudden temperature change?
As that tank appears to often get a lot of direct sunlight (unless if it's just the time of day you happen to film it but in a lot of videos it's getting direct sun). And you noted you had recently been getting a lot of low sun the last week.
In the summer yes it was getting a lot of sun but because it was getting more sun consistently the temperature of the tank is less likely to cool back down to the room temperature. Basically because it was constantly getting blasted it kept the temperature higher but still more consistent.
But as it went a period of getting less sun then it would if cooled back down to room temperature and stayed at that temp for a few weeks then all if a sudden get a load of sun again causing a dramatic temperature increase.
With the dramatic temperature increase it could either been the temp change itself, reduced oxygen in the water or both which lead to them getting stressed.
Then them being a tank strain/more inbred fish making them more susceptible to stress/illness it could of either triggered the Angelfish carrying theory (though personally I still don't think that's the most likely cause).
Or if water temp was suddenly spiked and stressed them out it can cause fish to shed their slime coat causing their skin to be valnurable & stress them out even more making them at risk of bacterial infections (plus at higher water temp the bacteria can multiply extremely quickly).
With them being more delicate then the other inhabitants it would make sense for them to be the only ones affected where the others could cope better with the change in conditions.
I'd personally give that more consideration/investigation then assume the Angelfish being the cause.
Just given you had those Angelfish a long time, the other Tetra's being fine in the tank they were previously in plus while being more delicate they're hardy enough to regularly sold in shops and kept in tanks with other species and the same water systems as many others.
Heres a thought, why don’t you source one or two amazing antique Victorian, Art Nouveau or Art Deco aquariums/vivariums to mix up the tank room style a bit? I have two really interesting antique aquariums; one being a 40-ish gal Art Nouveau rectangular tank with a bronze egret statue in each corner. The other is a large 125-ish gal octagonal tank with a center “island” that includes a cool bullfrog fountain. I purchased them a while ago and had to refurbish both a bit but they’re museum quality and well worth it. If I was able to find these beauties within a 100-mile radius of NYC you should have very little trouble locating amazing antique tanks in Europe simply because it’s waaay older than the US. Ive actually seen a few spectacular ones at estate auctions in London and Paris. The octagonal tank was actually available through a (Sears & Roebuck?) mail-order catalogue up until the early 1900s, a fact which blew my mind! Just a thought...
Oh, a YT video exists of someone with the same octagonal tank up & running. The dude has IMMENSE angelfish, discus and -believe it or not approx a dozen mixed male & female bettas (that get along.) The owner cites the shape of the tank, the fact that it’s heavily planted (& has dither fish) as the reason.
If you are worried about racking being level, put mortar between the bottom two bricks, get the 2nd brick up level with a rubber mallet and a spirit level.
I think Matt has been a great influence on you. Finally organizing the studio instead of the higgeldy piggeldy way it was before.
😂 I see what you did there
It's things I've wanted to do for a long time but never had the time. I now have extra hours to be able to do all the extra things to tie everything in.
@@MDFishTanks haha dont lie, MD. You have stated mutliple times before that you like the chaos of just random size tanks and tankstands. I am not letting you get away with this. ;)
@@Frankje01I second that.
@@Frankje01 haha. yeah that was definately an excuse for laziness of not wanting to build anything. The gallery at ADG in America is actually what first put the thought in my head to be honest. Was thinking how good jungle style tanks would like in a clean lined and clean coloured environment.
Honestly, I love how the studio has ended up. Considering how relatively small the studio is it's amazing how many tanks you were able to fit, but it still doesn't seem cramped at all in there!
Purple light above the TV still @MD!! Gotta get on that! Make it green!!!
Take your ply wood you were using for the very top shelf and cover the ends with it on the sides so you don't see the studs you used. It will also fix the two shelves together helping it give more stability with a nice clean look
Indeed. I kept seeing that.
Another great video, I really love the 'banter' between the pair of you, lol. As for the 10ft tank, instead of going for large fish (which is a great idea anyway) how about doing a HUGE micro eco-system for multiple sized fish. Having that amount of room in the tank could easily replicate a traverse section of a S.American habitat, heavily planted c/w bogwood/mangrove swamp at one end running into a flat sanded bottom at the other end with maybe a small island of giant val in it. The tetras would love the darker planted end (just like in the wild), then the dwarf cichlids banking out from there and finally the bigger cichlids in the open section, it would make for a great show piece for the studio. 3ft of something like the 'red Devil' tank (heavily wooded for the tets) leading out into 7ft of open sand, stones and the occassional val would look breath taking. Anyhow, no matter what you decide to ultimately do I'm sure it'll look great !
+1 to something like this. Kinda a full scene based on an area
I was just thinking the same thing, that would look absolutely awesome. and if you later on want to do 5 ft tanks you could always make a divider and put in the middle.
But the 10 ft tank with what you described would be breathtaking and I really hope that they will do something like that
Shame about the tetras. It's always kinda devastating to lose that many in a short span and wishing you could've foreseen it. The Red Devil tank is inspirational. You gotta get more photos and reel of it, man.
what you did at the end will answer so many questions and problems others have faced and never worked out. Thanks
I’m really sorry for the events at the end of the video, but thank you so much for sharing the story. It’s super helpful to know things don’t always go perfectly for you either. I love how calm Matt is when talking about issues like algae bloom, sick fish, and other frustrations in the hobby. It is reassuring to know these things are sad but normal from time to time.
I heartily agree. Loss is unfortunately part of life and I appreciate the channel's forthright handling of challenging events.
Oh, I'm sorry about so many fish dying, but I am glad you took the time to explain it. It will be helpful to anyone having a similar experience.
I haven't been watching long, four days I think :), but I am enjoying the videos. This video sparked a memory. My tank had been set up for over a year and was completely healthy both fish and plants. I bought two Angels from my local Maidenhead Aquatics and put them in the tank. Next day two fish were dead, during the day another two. I noticed white patches across their backs. I have kept fish for sixty years so I recognised White Saddle Back (Columnaris disease). I dived down to my local Pets At Home, it was closest, and got treatment and added it. The Two Angels died but I saved the rest of the fish in the tank. Lesson learned and I have set up an old tank I had and now use it as a quarantine tank. Four years on and the fish left are still thriving :)
While I was watching this video I was thinking about how you never seem to be fighting ammonia spikes or algal blooms or any of the other seemingly normal low points of fish keeping. It was a great addition to see how you deal with some of the problems we see and to hear your thoughts on it, great video!
Most of his tanks have tons of plants and very little small fish, thus no ammonia.
The tetras you lost weren't Emperor tetras (Nematobrycon palmeri) they were Royal / Kerri tetra (Inpaichthys kerri). They're an absolute pain for bacterial infections like matt said namely columnaris or aeromonas/ pseudomonas strains which can wipe tanks out as quickly as you've experienced. After acclimating or adding new stock to tanks with these I'd recommend a course of water life myaxzin to try avoid this issue. Acriflavin on its own can be effective too. Just a thought, tho, was this tank the one that gets no water changes, could have also been a KH crash causing the PH to crash?
Be careful if that is a plastic lid Matt put on the reef tanks. Plastic will block the UV light that some corals need. I think Serpa even had the same problem setting up his big reef tank. Glass lids won’t block the UV light.
That’s right Serpa design lost all his corals because of the plastic lid but what he used wasn’t clear he uses that material on his reptiles enclosures built as well if I’m not mistaken I think he made a lid out of clear acrylic
MD is literally living my perfect life😂
Keep banging on about my own fish house and studio. Cue much eye rolling from the other half😂
I remember thinking wow MD scaled up. Probably gonna be a while till he runs out of space. But here we are.
i love watching matt's face grimace as md describes his dreams and how big they are omg :')
Sorry to hear about that loss. On the brighter side, you guys work great together. Really enjoy your content.
Do whatever you wanna do,
but don't mess with timmy's tank
Can I say you guys are the best Chan on TH-cam. Keep them coming. Always a good day when MD posts.
The backdrop tank will look amazing. I have that in my livingroom. It's a great height for viewing, but for maintenance I'm using a stepladder and extra long grabber tools.
I’m sorry about your Emperor Tetras, what a bummer. I appreciate your candor though, it’s helpful to know about something like a bacterial infection and to know it can happen even to seasoned pros. Great video, thank you.
Love how your transparent with your viewers
I've been watching you for years now and I now have 18 tanks. You have given me so much inspiration and I love your videos! Every time I see a new video from you I want to build another tank lol. Thank you for being honest and telling us what goes on behind the scenes good and bad. It's reality and you aren't just showing what people want to see. Looking forward to seeing how your saltwater journey goes, I have been wanting to get into saltwater! Keep up the amazing videos!!
Mudskipper tank soon please!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Hey I like this idea!
This would be awesome
MD + FISHSHOP MATT = Best available content on TH-cam.
Totally agree!
Between you and mat i got into shrimp and got back into aquariums. Thank you
Consider getting an enclosed trailer, park it out front and put all your supplies in it. It would give a lot of new space
Watching both of you tring to count to four was hilarious
I badly need a big racking for my livingroom but i havent figure out yet all the tanks that i will keep there. Is nice to see that you are still DIY-ing things like at the beggining ❤
Good knowledge and information learned. Thank you for being transparent. As fishkeepers we learn from every experience
Great update video! And I must say ai am excited for the 8 foot tank. I agree it would look amazing when you walk in!
It is always a good habit to treat the fish first that will be introduced to an established tank with existing community. Even if the fish came from another established tank so you can lessen the cross contamination issues. It will not eliminate it totally but it can lessen. It happens to a lot of keepers and is still disheartening everytime.
Omg I nearly wet myself when Matt did his Bellamy impression!
Another great video! The channel was/is great but with the both of you and Matt's knowledge, the channel is definitely fire. Just a viewer from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The red devil Tank is amazing man so beautifully natural
Good to see Matt winning in Gran Tourismo still!!!
Absolutely love the red devil and cardinal tank. It is my favorite in the studio.
An 8footx4footx6foot tank will weight about 14000lbs filled. Unless i miscalculated. Can that room even support that? I remember from the Tanked tv show for some tanks they had to dig in special concrete foundations.
In the UK which is very similar to South Africa where I'm from, almost all homes have concrete foundations and brick walls. Very unlikely he'll need to do that. But yes that's something to consider for big tanks.
hi MD, maybe you can have 1 row of aquariums, where you invite other youtubers/contant creaters, for them to make a scape in your big room. would make a interesting video and brings different styles/creations in the room
Awesome, thanks for fixing the audio!
Love the new additions. I am so sorry about the loss of fish, so sad.
Love your videos MD and Fish shop Matt!
Fun, interesting, great looking scapes, each subtly unique.
If you are doing the 8 foot high up against the back wall then it needs to stand out and be a statement piece.
Looking good, lads 👍
I love the candidness. Keep up the great vids. 👍
Do two 4 foot tanks connected by an above tank tunnel system, if you know what I mean. And scape them both totally opposite.
That was a good point about cross contamination I had the same thing happened in my tank.
Paint the cinder blocks white (or black) with some rubber paint.
Big aqvarium , and put frontosa in 😊
MD I love your honesty and with Matt’s theory it was a great learning experience. I love you two together. But I have a major issue. Please please take down that tall and very unsafe storage rack near Matt’s desk. It scares me. And maybe after todays video you both should be wearing hard hats.
Don't burn theold stands! Do a giveaway ❤️
An MD fish tank stand!!!
Love the archer tank!! 😃
Matt is the New David Attenborough “In the jungle” 😄👍
I like the shelves but I think they would look better painted white in that location. Love the content thank you
Them breeze blocks would look awesome painted white to match the walls xxx
I always had smile whenever your video uploaded ☺️ ❤
thanks for that MD and MT sir 🙏
Realy love theese DIY vids
you two are brilliant, create content md & matt🎉
Love the video thanks MD and Matt❤
Yay! Matt got his desk back.
I can't wait to see that 8 foot. And go high please. Planted also, 😁
As usual great video. However can I tell you how many times my tank has been affected by adding new fish? My recent infection was exactly what you experienced but I didn’t have the severe loss that you did. The reason I’m talking about this is because I was thinking about quitting because I thought I did something wrong. Watching this video made me feel better. If it can happen to you guys then I feel like I’m doing ok. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your honesty.
Great video! I would say you should call it macro algae in the salt water tank. I hope you do sting rays in the 8 footer. Wishful thinking
was searching online for cheap raised lights and came across all pond solutions, was happy with my find then come watch your video to chill out and boom, you got the exact lights linked in the bio. glad i wasted my time lmao
matt is a brilliant actor. he was brilliant as small hands guy in scary movie 2. and guy with hives in that something about Mary. 😆...
Matt you have to do the tap thingy( 3 taps) before you feed the fish.. 😂😂
Sorry to hear about your tetra loss. I had something similar happened when I moved a plant from one tank to another. One of my harlequins got an infection, I treated the fish for 3 days before putting him back in the tank and he still died. Even if you would have caught the infection, not sure anything could have been done to stop the loss.
Awesome, new video!!
One thing you might have done, and for the future, is to dose the tank your moving the fish to.
A single dose of antibiotic in sufficient proportion to the water column may be enough.
Consider it prophylaxis.
How interested would you be in scaping a 400 gallon+ aquarium in northern indiana?
Thought we were getting 2 MD videos in 1 day for a moment then! 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Same, was so excited 😭
I’ve got a UV steriliser, just like that one in my tank and it is brilliant
I don't like that rickety cinder block + wood planks kidna of structure but it looks waaay nicer than the other stands, each one made of a different materials, colors, finishes, different heights. GODSPEED old shelves.
Great work guys, looking great, sorry about the tetras unlucky
I'm a chippy & I love yous both that much,that if I was near yous I'd help yous out, remember the man that never made a mistake, never made ANYTHING 💚🤍🧡👌🏻
How would you get a 10' tank in the room? Most 10ft are 120"x36"x48 well over 1200 pounds glass or 600 pounds acrylic. will it fit through the door?
How about a gigantic Paludarium up that wall with the mirror, that will make a massive statement piece and still allow access to the tank more easily
10 FOOT!! LEGEND!!!!!
You should put some lazer cory's in the neon/angelfish tank. That would make it complete.
I would absolutely love to have all that green water to feed to my freshwater clams and muscles. They would clean it up in a little bit of no time.
I'm really glad you share the failures with us. While it is sad to hear of a mass die-off, we learn (and you also learn) from the mistakes. It would be fantastic if there were some sort of way by which we could share all our mistakes and problems with you and your audience so that we could all learn even more, but neither time nor the technology currently available permits it.
Can't wait to see how that tiger lotus turns out. Next you'll have to try Victoria lilies. In a nano tank.
I had a similar thing happened in one of my 15 gallons but with celestial pearl danios as opposed to purple emperor tetras. I have amano shrimps, otocinclus (they even had babies twice now), red phantom tetras in there, they are all fine and thriving, so are the plants. But my CPDs are more fragile. I lost a couple, got new ones so that I always have a group of 8 but usually only half of the new batch makes it. They turn up dead exactly like you experienced. One day they're fine, the next they die and look patchy. My tank is almost a year old, my parameters are stable, I do 25% water changes every week. There must be a type of normally occurring bacteria in my tank(s) that CPDs are more sensitive to. I have a total of 3 tanks with shrimps in all of them and it's really only the CPDs that seem affected.
Yesterdays breakfast :D Just love that comment :D Great work MD & Matt as usual! :D
@1:33 i would like you to try the father fish method. its similar to walstad. mix of actual dirt/soil, capped with sand, no chemicals except removing any metals in the water. no fertilizer. no beneficial bacteria
Some moss art would look good in the studio
You should try to make a scape on top of new shelves that incorporates the ledges behind them.
To get rid of these green algae floating in the water is good stuff . This is "Aquel green algae stopper, Aquel".
I am praying that one of your future projects with 8ft will be with discus 😉 fingers crossed 😊
Please do 2 5ft tanks. As I have a 5ft scaped tank but it gives me an excuse to rescape 🤪🤣
Time for a bigger studio, boys!
Wooow beatufuil
Exciting times!
I also lost about 30 fish last summer in my aquarium and was baffled and upset. One puzzling thing for me was all my more "delicate" fish survived and are still thriving.
100 chili rasbora and 100 pygmy corys in the pearlweed tank 🤞🤣
Man, I hate that feeling when you see that colour in the tank you haven't seen before, and it's the silver underside of a fish. It's like - oh no... that shouldn't be visible! Sorry to hear about the Emperors! Poor little guys, they looked so good in that tank too.
As is asked before, when are you moving to a new premise again or take over the neighbouring studio to expand..😉
