The video I was waiting for 🎉
Now you have to get a tattoo of the frog 😂
Video 7 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.
I love your son drawing should do one of Timmy and put Timmy name on the merchandise that would look so awesome your son making an drawing of Timmy the turtle I would definitely buy one
Thank you Sir!
Most wanna show what they've acquired, and not give the price breakdown.
I already assume none of y'all pay for it out of pocket
It's nice to have some insight without having to physically check the inventory and prices of multiple places.
I remember when you were creating nano tanks in your house without speaking in your videos. It's been that long. Seeing your dream of an 8-foot aquarium unfold is amazing. I'm happy for you and looking forward to seeing the scape. Peace and blessings to you!
It really has been a pleasure watching his growth from his house, the shed, and 2 studios.
I completely agree!
I've watched the same growth and am looking forward to watching the journey continue. I can't wait to see this monster tank come together.
i cannot wait for the day they open up their studio to the public
i cannot wait for the day they open up their studio to the public
It’s great to see someone transparent with costs
agreed! it almost seems realistic for the future for some people.
Cost transparency is the best for anyone running a hobby channel. I like to know from the beginning if the project I'm looking at is something I can afford to take on or if it is more of an aspirational dream project
I’m more than happy to see big schools of fish, I don’t watch you for Arowana etc. I watch you for the scapes, the inspiration, you really come across as one of us, keep it up MD 💪🏻
I absolutely love the idea of a large number of smaller fish in a large tank. I can’t wait to see the build! It’s going to be great. Aquarium Gardens looks like an amazing shop. Thanks for the video.
Love the support between you and Matt ❤
WOW!! I'm really excited to see how this entire project unfold MD! I also really appreciate the support and encouragement that you give to Matt who is more than just an employee to you. Not many people are selfless enough to let others grow and shine! It's going to be great for both of your channels!
Keep being true to yourself! That's what caused people to subscribe!
I totally agree with you . ❤
Totally love the idea of going with smaller fish in a big tank! I think it’s gonna look absolutely stunning, like stepping into an actual river. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Super excited to see the 8ft scaped and follow the progress 😁 Thanks to both of you for visiting AG. Some epic materials chosen for what’s going to be an epic tank. Good luck guys it’s going to be amazing 👏 👏
I am totally on board with the huge tank filled with Nanofish, it is a dream of mine as well.
The most beautiful thing about this channel is the friendship en honesty. U and matt are the true meaning of friendschip and i hope both of u get a succes channel and life !!
I’m more excited for this than any movie or tv show has got me in a long time! Massive schools of nano fish >>>>>>> anything else
Agree, same here. New action movie? Nah. New TV show? Not so much. 8ft biotope with nanofish? YEAHHH!!
Thanks for the openness on the costing, to the hobbyist it's worth every penny, your comparison to say a motorbike or other hobby makes absolute sense, hobbies are not cheap but the pleasure we get from them is invaluable. Looking forward to the build.
I live just down the M11 from Aquarium Gardens and get all my CO2 from there. Dave is such a nice guy, he always takes the time to have a chat and answer all of my questions.
I’d like to see a bunch of different coloured Rasboras and guppies. Having like 1 million nano fish would be wicked in this tank!!
I love the price breakdown, it helps put in perspective what you getting for the money and what to expect if I wanted to do something similar myself. Excellent video as always.
I appreciate you and Matt for consistently putting out this quality content, it’s clear that you guys love what you do and it really shows in not only the videos but the aquariums themselves!
Really excited to see this one!
Man that 8ft tank was super well priced for a fully custom job with todays damn inflation.
It looks top quality as well!
I'm so looking forward to the build. Thanks for filling us in on Matt, I'm really pleased for him that his channel is doing well too. I love his videos as well
What is Matt’s channel please?
@@paulawicks-farr3078 Fish Shop Matt
I think you and Matt will respect each others journey, I can’t imagine he won’t ever forget your dynamic; your his fish apprentice and he’s your scape/tube apprentice! Bro’s for life
oooh, I love the play setup station. Such a great idea to help buyers get the best pieces for their ideas.
Been watching for awhile, so glad you're going with a large version of your beautiful tanks. We all have seen monster fish tanks plenty. Your style is more similar to what I enjoy in the aquarium hobby
Aquarium gardens looks like such a cool place! Also interesting to see the cost breakdown of the tank!
Starting the hard scape on my big tank (40 gallons, definitely not an 8 ft but still big to me) and your channel has always been a source of information and inspiration! My Mississippi map turtle Colby is going to love it and i cant wait to have him next to my desk again. We'll be watching your videos together in no time 😁🐢
I've always liked the idea of big tanks and having a community style of aquarium setup. It just looks way more exciting in my opinion than one or two big fish with no scaping in the tank.
This is just amazing! No words to say how impressed I am with this channel!
I'M SO HAPPY to hear that this will be a heavily planted tank with a lot of small fish!! Not kidding, this is the best news in a long time, because a tank like that is something I dream of as well and I get so bored by all people immediately getting those standard huge fish. Many times it feels like people get them just to brag about being able to have big fish, and bragging is always boring.
All about little fish and shrimp imo
You’ve come a long way MD! Super exciting man.
Also, that’s an awesome design for a T-Shirt. This is cool thing for your son to continue doing something he loves.
Thanks MD and matt on actually reading through the comments and acrually doing a episode on the break down costs of the 8ft.
Can’t wait to watch you scape the tank 😍 I struggle with hard scapes and getting them to look even decent, so this is inspiring!
Huge fan have been watching for the last few months and you guys have mad me obsessed with tanks! I now own 4!
Only one channel on youtube videos I'm so waiting for every week
twice a week ;)
Thrice soon? ;-) Love the content @@MDFishTanks
a live full time feed lol @@MDFishTanks
Same here, I don't wait on the edge of my seat like this for any other content available 😂
I love that you are doing so well you can accomplish your dream tanks, without giving up your authentic self. I'm happy for you, and it's a great example of a healthy passion
I got myself a jack dempsey today
The rugby player? He’ll never fit in that tank…
Sir that boxer will not fit in a tank
My pair started breeding 🥰
Nice, I just ordered a L397 pleco :)
Beautiful man
You deffo need some celestial danios in the eight foot with some Pygmy corys
Time flies MD! HAPPY TO SEE YOU MAKING YOUR DREAM TO REALITY! I can still remember your first studio next to your house. I am inspired by your style and technique, am a massive fan and been sharing you to fellow aquarists/aquascapers. For the last 3 years + I have never skipped watching your weekly upload.
Really excited to see this set up! Love the idea of it being an epic nano fish tank.
I’m pumped to watch this tank come to life. Honestly it’s the entertainment event I’m looking forward to the most right now.
I’ve been watching you since you were in your house. It’s was fun watching your family interactions. You are real and down to earth. With out mentioning names I use to watch, but still do on occasion, another channel that I can only describe as snobbish.
When you moved out of your house you lost something. With Fish Shop Matt you added that missing dimension back to your channel. Love watching you guys achieving your dreams. Enjoying seeing where the 8 footer takes you!
MD the small fish in the big tank, will look amazing. I literally can't wait to watch a two hour build video.
The ingredients for the co2 reactor refills are citric acid and baking soda you can get large quantities online for a fraction of the cost love the content even more now matt is with you
Been watching your channel for about 1.5 years now. Loved the evolution and journey. Ive learnt loads from you and Matt and bored my family rigod too 😂
Love your planted tank and Nano fish. Its exactly what im looking for with my new 330 litre.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I would do exactly the same thing as you and have hundreds of little fish rather than a few big ones. It’s more exciting watching them weaving in and out of their surroundings and exploring than just watching a few bigger fish go side to side. Well in my opinion it is. 😊
I think this tank is going to be stunning. I always imagined an 8’ tank with 500 Neons, so definitely get why you are filling it with nano fish. Can’t wait to watch this journey.
I'm so glad to hear you're going to fill it with tank busters.
Cant wait to see how it progresses!
Looking forward to see you set this beast up !
Cheers from France ❤❤❤
Thank you for the breakdown of costs. It helps to manage expectations and plan for a dream tank realistically.
I love how you are so open about everything on all of your tanks, good and bad. Also love the fact your supporting your mate/best friend with his dreams as well.
One can only wish to be as successful as you and still have a great friend like you are 👍🏻👍🏻
Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more about this dream coming to life
I always admire your work and when it comes to hobbies rather than doing it for subscribers you are doing it for you which should satisfy your quest for a long time. Do it MD we are waiting for that tank to come live.
NANO FISH HEAVEN IN THE 8ft! LETS GO!!!
Goood morning everyone hi Md thanks for the lovely video again with Matt
I too enjoy large tanks with loads of nano fish. With large groupings their natural behavior and colors are so much more vibrant. I really look forwrd to seeing you develop this concept.
Looking forward to this! Also this is your channel and we have watched you grow just as your tanks have. Please do what you want with the builds and stay true to yourself. We love the channel because of what you have done, with Matt of course. Not what others tell you to do. Thank you for bringing us with you!
Hi MD. Thanks for the detailed costs of 8ft build. I would love a big like yours. So glad you are going heavily planted and small fish. Looking forward to future videos .
Don't scare us MD - we need you AND Matt together - it's magic.
So looking forward to the scape video for this tank (small pond) 😂
I’ve watched you from the very beginning MD and you deserve all the success your getting, I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you for all your hard work in producing these videos, but I will say you have cost me a lot of money over the years 😂😂😂
I’ve been subscribed and enjoying your content and growth for years. It was the nano tanks that got my attention and it is still my favourite part of the hobby thanks to you.
This new tank reminds me of my old 225 gallon six foot tank that I had kitted up like a South American river. It had over a hundred cardinal tetras and was glorious. Had it going for years and then I converted it to an African cichlid tank which was awesome as well.
Now I have nano and a couple of 20 gallon tanks that I tend. It is such a great hobby. And thanks for the breakdown. For such a beautiful build it’s worth it. Like you said, it’s like having a bike or fixing up an old car. Money well spent as it’s great for our mental health.
Take care and hi from Canada!
I am massively looking forward to seeing hundreds of little fish in that tank. Keep up the excellent work.
You do you. Love watching what y’all come up with! Can’t wait to see how it turns out. 😁👍👋
Commenting before I watch because I already know it’s gonna be good so why not?
It's amazing to see you live out your fish hobby dreams and be transparent about the process. I wish you and Matt all the success with your channels. Can't wait to see what's next!
Absolutely love the 8ft tank! I love the idea of doing it as a planted tank with loads of small fish. Do it the way you want it. Looking forward to seeing the end results!
MD YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I HAVE BEEN FOR THIS VIDEO FINNALLYYYYYY , AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Very excited to see this tank getting built, and then to see the entire montage video in full!
What kinds/kind of fish are you going to have in that tank ?
It’s never a waste any type of tank, no matter size no matter what’s in. It is a thing of beauty each individual has its own unique look design and feel don’t ever think yours is a waste because it’s not it is your passion it is something you have dreamed of therefore, it’s going to be magnificent, absolutely beautiful and everything you’ve dreamed of, you feel so proud and excited because you did it. It’s your dream you made come true.
I am so excited for you! Can't wait to see the build process! ❤
Just awesome! I can’t wait to see what fantastical things you do with this set up! I’m so excited for you!
You guys make planting an aquarium look so easy. I'm struggling with Fluval aquasoil creating very cloudy water, plants refusing to set in stand and having to re-stick them like 500x, did I mention brown cloudy water that aquaclear isn't touching? You guys just wham bam done lol. It looks crystal clear right after and everything haha. I have given up on crystal clear because my wood leeks tannins and well, screw it it's more natural and Bettas like it, plus it softens the water. That's not a battle I'm gonna fight right now. Hoping the cloudiness from the soil settles naturally after attempting to plant.
Rinsing the sand 900000 times until the water mostly ran clear (over 2 hours of rinsing to get here) and well, I'm convinced this is my last time doing sand. It was my first, but also my last xD Maybe extremely course sand.
THis channel is like "wow that looks so relaxing!" but the reality is setting up your first aquarium in 15 years raises your blood pressure, requires you to play at chemist, and costs way more than anticipated. I'm $500 deep and don't even have a fish yet roflol. For a 10 gallon.
Not hating at all, I love the channel, but man. You just make it look easy xD
Doing things the first time is always hard - you don't know which mistakes might matter! It will get much easier as you go along. Wishing you best of luck! I had a South American fish tank that I deliberately ADDED tannins to. Well, actually a heated indoor stock tank pond... If you want to remove the tannins, a bag of activated charcoal in the filter should do the trick. You can buy it loose and put it into a fine mesh bag or buy it already in a bag ready to drop into the filter.
Its my dream to do a Tank like that full of endlers. Can't wait for the next update on this.
Thank you MD and Matt! Love your videos and look forward to new stuff from both channels. You guys are great!
I love the idea of schools of small fish. If you haven't decided yet, I used to have bloodfin tetras in tinfoil, green, and albino and they schooled separately. It was lovely with only six of each in a 29 gallon tank. I can only imagine what your 'indoor lake' is going to look like!
Thank you for sharing all the steps to creating your dream tank!
That’s the spirit is this hobby. Doing what makes you happy and sharing that. Big fish are cool yes, but they’re not for everyone. Good luck on this tank and I’ll be here to support you as always. ❤❤ I got the frog shirt. Waiting for the dinosaur one to come out.
the frog shirt is awesome!🐸
Fantastic so happy for you, can’t wait to see you start on it. Love from Australia ❤
Whatever you guys decide for a scape and livestock will be excellent! Looking forward to the build :)
Just love watching your videos, you have come a long way and this mega build is something really special! Cheers!
I've used aquarium gardens for years for plants and honesty they are amazing so I would definitely recommend people check them out
LOVE this! This is honest and sooo helpful. You’ve been so great through the years. I’ve watched your past material and to see the transformation and your experience come to life is indeed happiness.
You and Matt are fish gurus and I learn so much from you guys all the time. 💪🏾 I’m on my fourth tank now and it’s YOUR FAULT! 😁
I think people love what you do bc you truly love what you do. Art is sure about loving what you do.
And it’s all for yourself at first hand. The rest will follow for sure. Passion! Passion is the word!
I can’t wait to see what this turns out to be.
I’m in little Sweden and the world of aquascaping isn’t as big here so to have you guys to lean on is really great!
This is the best channel on TH-cam and I’m really pleased you doing your thing on a bigger scale so exciting.
Really love seeing the channel grow. I appreciate the cost breakdown in both currencies. Thank you.
Truly one of the best feelings I have had watching your entire video today !!!! I know from seeing the entirety of everything that you have created, it's pretty awesome to see it come true , and I have no doubt it will surpass all the things that you imagined your dream display aquarium would be 🍻
What a journey this chanel has taken me on!! Love each and every video and always looking forward to the next!!
You do you MD, we are here for the ride. Very much looking forward to seeing it come together.
MD corporation needs to invest in a Transit van or Pickup truck to haul all of the supplies! Can't wait for the fun to begin!!!
This is our tank too mate
Look forward to the upcoming videos !!
MD! I love your dream! Thank you for sharing your journey with us and for being your kind, enthusiastic, passionate self. I like seeing the friendship between you and Matt, and how you treat each other so well
So excited to see it turn out. I love the idea of TON of fish that looks like a natural habitat
Love your channel which inspired me to set up my own nano fish tank. Can't wait to see the build for the 8 foot, and excited for you that you'll be able to do something you had dreamed of doing.
I love the transparency! This is going to be EPIC!!
Looking good! I look forward to updates with interest. I'm with you on having lots of nano fish in a large tank. If you get a nice school of tetras, you can just start to approach what you'd see in an 8' cross section of a South American river. I'd take a school of 100 cardinals over a monster fish any day. Also, that school of cardinals will still show up nicely from across the room. It can be hypnotic to watch a large shoal behave almost like it's one larger fish.
The backlight at the aquarium shop brought to mind what I'm up to right now. Run a youtube search on DIY aquarium backlights and you can do a nice one with some Amazon LED strip lights and a light diffusing background fairly inexpensively. I just did one on my 4' 75g for around $25 and it looks pretty amazing.
Keep up the great content. This channel is better than about 90% of regular TV out there. Plus, your only agenda is out in the open and plainly stated, and it's to get more people into this wonderful hobby!
This is awesome. I watched the video of when the tank arrived and was impressed by you both getting it in and in place . I can’t wait to see this tank complete. Awesome
Can't wait to see this build. Gonna be awesome
Awesome setup. It's not a cheap hobby once you go big but all the more worth it if you can. Looking forward to the next videos for the setup. High five 👋 from Michigan.
You have a real good talent of aquascaping. Better than anything i could ever do
So excited for this build. This video reminded how much better and easier to get aquarium stuff is over there compared to the US 😢
I am so excited for you. I will be cheering you on from Georgia, USA. Dreams coming true is a huge deal and you sharing the adventure is awesome can't wait to see the build videos.
Really looking forward to seeing this one. Love love love the idea of zillions of teeny fish . And the hardscape will look amazing. Can't wait !
It’s awesome to see that dream come true! MD was the reason I got into fish keeping! Keep it up!
How awesome! you’ve captured very beautiful scapes in this video :) the plants Dave has in his aquariums are stunning.
To me, a massive tank with a few large fish seems to be the waste.. having massive shoals of nano fish in a huge scape is just so much more engaging and visually appealing to me. I cant wait to watch the build progress.
