Can’t wait to see the 8 footer. Y’all are a hilarious team.
You need those weather loaches to live with Timmy!!!
Still think a Grass and Glass aquarium ... all " grasses" and all " clear" fissh!!!!
Ok you should so do a boulder only river scape in the 8ft with lots of flow with a big group of rainbow shiners and hilstream loaches!😲
Just like a wall of boulders and pebbles with scatter gravel (no sand) and some power heads
And obviously plants 😂
Brilliant. Love it. Will be sad to see 8ft go but not if its for discus 😊
I am constantly blown away by the quality of fish and plants in Matts shop. The shops in my area dont carry near the quality of plants and fish as he does. So jealous! Great tank you guys!
The dynamic duo is back! My favorite videos are when y’all work together 😊 Looks awesome, guys!
The king of aquariums has made my week again!
*kings
*have not has ❤
You could do challenge tanks, where you have to stick to a certain criteria given to you by us, just to force you to make tanks out of your comfort zone and try new styles. That’d be fun to watch 😂
It’s great seeing the two of you back together on a build! It’s been to long ❤
*too long indeed 😊
I haven’t kept a tank in 13 years ( discus tank and African Cicilds and Blue rams all in different tanks of course ) due to living with in-laws and they have cats had to get rid of my tanks and fish. Now that I just bought a house I can’t
WAIT ! I just wish I had a shop like
Matt’s near where I live. His shop
is Fantastic, I’ve never kept a planted tank but after seeing your
videos I am soooooo doing it. Im thinking a Amazon bio rope maybe black water with rams and neons. I don’t know yet, I just know I’m doing plants. Thank you for your channel !
Love an MD vid. Love a Fish Shop Matt vid. But my absolute favourite is the collabs. What a time to be alive!
"We could just fill it up and go to the Pub",made me smash the Like button LOL
The buddy scaping synth music at 15:07 is amazing! Nailed it. Great video guys as always. Keep it coming. It’s fantastic.
Always enjoy the interaction between MD/MAT & the shop staff that alone must keep the customer coming back again & again🐠🐟🦀
You two are taking fishy stuff videos to a new level. Artistic scaping, expert knowledge and being so fun to watch - MD I am so glad you got Matt in house! you two are sooooo knowledgeable and as funny as heck
Very clean looking tank guys. Great for a display tank. The scape isn't to loud or busy but still beautiful. It allows the fish to b the focal point. More fish shops should have a tank like that. A lot of ppl don't realize how different fish look when u put them in a planted tank. Great build guys
The scape came out awesome, guys! I really do love how the wood slants off left to right, and mimics the pattern that most the fish swim in, know what I mean? Lovely choice of fish as well! The swords all along the background are quite dramatic! Beautiful tank, all in all. Thanks MD and Matt, and the crew!
Was nice to meet you in the shop on Thursday..The tall guy with all the API products! Really entertaining video as usual 😊
Yes my Saturday is complete another amazing build video by MD and fishshop Matt ❤
I ❤ MATT!!! So fun and just a gorgeous tank. You’re a genius MD.
This tank is stunning and I'll be waiting for the discus fishtank. Y'all two make a great team for scaping tanks.
I Love videos with Matt. Especially build in the shop as there is an entire store of supplies to do a tank its a dream!!!!!
The videos together with matt is always the best!😊
I like Matt's choice. This is one of my favourite set up so far. I'd honestly do this for my home. I like how he kept the front clean and made the back of the tank bushy. It's perfect 🐟🌿
Hi MD! Hi Matt! Hi staff! What a masterpiece! Luv how you two work things out and collaborate on these tanks! Can’t wait for the Discus tank! Yay 😀 Just beautiful. Fran
Amazing! And we always love an MD and Matt endeavor!
I really love it when the 2 of get together and set up a fish tank. The way you both explain how to use the same plants at the of the tank really sets it off. Brilliant thank you 😊
Sweat her loaches are one of the best fish in my life of fish keeping. Matt is right that they are excape artists but you can make use of that. They willingly after some training swim into your hand so you can transfer them from tank to tank. It’s not difficult you start with food in your hand but when they link your hand to a tank transfer they will willingly get in your hand as they know it’s good news for them a new and fresh feeding ground. I think they are amazing fish even though these days I find no home for them because they do not fit in with my plans. However a true pet fish if I ever met one
I Love the Dad Jokes! Glad you two are back together!
I really like it when the two of you work together. 😊
@fishtank Matt. You always know a good choice of fish for a specific setup . 👍👍
Can't go wrong with a gorgeous scape full of rainbows. Especially those juvenile boesemans. Well done guys..
It was nice bumping in to both of you when I popped in to the shop the day you were building this setup. I popped in again on Friday just for a quick preview of the setup before returning back to cornwall today.
This one has great flow and the rocks really make it pop. Nice work!
Just yesterday I was looking at my own Madagascar rainbows and I was thinking damn MD would love these. People miss out because they're rarely mature/colored up at the shops but man they're beautiful. You should definitely try to make them a tank at the studio. You won't regret it lol
Well I must say that I had my doubts about the huge piece of wood and the huge rocks. But once again, I stand corrected. 😅 LOL. You've proved yourself once again to be the master scaper. AND it's so wonderful to have you two back together again. I've missed the funny, silly banter between you guys. You make me laugh.
My Final Examinations really put a serious stress on me so I decided to set-up a blackwater aquarium inspired by this guy over here. Love them both. They're cool.
hey md big fan mate you’ve inspired me to take up this hobby!all your tanks are top notch keep it up bud 👍🏼
Aways hilarious when it's you two. Love it!!
Great video! And I loved the way you filmed at the end. Really the cherry on top. Can't wait to see an update!
I expect the rainbows will sell much faster now after this set up as well as an increase in inquiries about the orange cories. Great job as usual MD and Matt!
MD: Recommends product
Also MD: Buys out that product in the UK!
At least you believe in what you’re selling! Great video!
You guys make great dynamic duo.
As always you 2 nailed it great job always fun to watch the lot of you :D
Awesome video MD! Great combination you two, and love how the tank turned out.
I love when md uploads more frequently
Great to see you two collaborating again together!! Been too long. Great video!!!! 😊
Brilliant result, love watching you guys. I am new to the hobby, so learning while watching you guys, thanks. My tank is only 48 litres, I put in honey coloured gravel and red rainbow red and it looks nice with green and red plants and azalea root, just need the fish now.
Probably a newb question, but how do you clean the tank? Maybe a video on that real quick? What type of work or techniques goes into cleaning such an awesome yet delicate tank. Love your guys work. Keep it coming.
I'm a simple man, I see rainbows, I like!
If you ever go back to Texas, I encourage you to visit 360 aquatic. It’s not as fancy as Aquarium design group but their selection and knowledge is incredible
Another EPIC scape guys!!
Thanks for another fun video guys! You know, I really thought i wanted a ram/tetra tank but now I'm starting to consider a rainbow/cory combo...
Beautiful tank...so clean and bright.
The tank has put together in fantastic way wow its mind blowing how you guys planned it and executed on your way of doing it. I wish i could redo my hobby again and watch those fishes go through the plants and woods
As always job well done and the rapport and creativity are inspiring
Yay, scape at the shop!
I would have liked to see the glass cats added. Beautiful tank!
Love your scapes man, personally i like a little less plants, like this. Especially because the stone and wood work you do is awesome, anyway, really glad i found your channel, thanks for all the advice
Anyone else get the feeling that the best pub is near the fish shop?
I think this is my favourite tank you've done
Beautiful tank! I got my first aquarium after watching many videos here. I went with a heavy planted 15g and not too many fish for low bioload (7 harlequin rasboras, 3 otocinclus, 1 betta). I like to use larger filters too, it means less work for me! The plants are really helping and it's such a nice hobby.
Beautifully done guys
11:25 - Imagine cosplaying Groot and having that driftwood as a prop.
You are the best together ❤❤
Another great build guys 👍
Love watching you guys make these! . Amazing! And we always love an MD and Matt endeavor!.
Awesome … just recently subscribe to your channel learn so much from your channel. Can’t wait to start making my aquarium… keep it up.. All the Best MD.. Hello from Mauritius Island 🇲🇺
It makes me so happy that Zoo Tycoon was mentioned! I love that game,!
hey MD i love your videos you got me into the hobby alot more and all your tank setups are amazing keep it up. love your vids
Beautiful tank mate! And I’m really looking forward to that 8ft discus tank! Will have to come check that out!
tip from serpa, chuck dust or bits of sand onto the glue. Dries quick!
Another gorgeous build!
could you make a tank with only red plants and albino fish? it would be an interesting contrast I love your videos and your aquariums are wonderful
He’s already done something similar
@@Eltoroisbig i know, but not whit the albine fish. ☺
My man, you mentioned Elden Ring, and I was like YEEESSS! Then you said you only watched vids and I was like Nooooo! Lol still love you man
The cut at 6:32 had me laughing wayyyy more than it should have 😂
That was literally the best saw for the job.
That was very well done 👍🏻. I kinda want to make one now!
I’m the same, I don’t game at all but I love watching all the cinematic clips 😂
Great job. It looks fantastic.
Those flat rocks would be amazing for a hillstream tank!
Wow!wow! This Scape is absolutely beautiful! You guys certainly have done a great job in creating such a natural home for all those rainbow fish. You two make a great team.. wow! Did you say a discus tank lol and 8ft long! This is gonna be epic 😊
That guys is a great looking tank.👍
Great job boys. Another banger of a video 👍🏻
I would love to come there and check out that store. Here in Florida we don’t really have that many local shops like that. Keep up the videos 👍
I'm gonna have to move to the UK... I wanna vist the shop & the studio 😊
Wow that’s a master piece 🔥
Great video, I’m exited for the dircus video😊
I would love to see you set up a CPO crayfish tank, they’re amazing little critters!
GUYS! brilliant but use the spray bar at the surface, or point the outlet at the surface to create ripple effect. Otherwise you'll get that oily film on the surface. Plus the surface water movement always makes a tank look better.
Big fan been watching for 2 years now
Awesome job, though now I want to see a glass catfish setup.
Love the videos, haven’t missed one yet 😂👍🏼 keep it up man!
At first I thought you were nutz putting in those large rocks, turns out em well rather nice.
Hey MD, I have been watching your channel for a while now, ever since The Buddha tank set up. I am a very big believer in the Eco tank, low tech, no CO2 and low-fuss-low-maintenance set up. I love the content you are making.
I have one request from you please. There is one thing missing from your videos, although you do make mentions every now and then. What ? you may ask. It would be really useful if you gave us an idea of cost when you set up. I know this is not truly representative because prices will vary from one country to another but my experience shows this is all relative ; £1.00 = $1.00 = EURO 1.00 ... etc. Either way, we as watchers need to have a representative value when we want to replicate your projects or make our own. The main areas needed are the plants (including when you recycle or use trimmings - we don't all have multiple tanks), tech and inhabitants because beyond this, rocks, wood and other hardscapes are random. Why is it important ? We get a better idea of how to budget for a project and when we get going, we do not endanger the inhabitants.
On an educational level, I think it would be useful to give us your water parameters you have. We all have different parameters and this has a definite effect on the plants we can use and this should also be mentioned. We would also really like to get tips and tricks (preferably natural) that can be used to get water parameters right - harden and soften water PH, raise or lower KH and GH, etc....
Thank you for the content, it is trully awesome and inspiring.
Doing overtime today I needed this
Hey MD, big fan... could you do a tank with rim and lid for us people with that kind of tank?
Love this set-up
Just my thoughts.....I would love to not see base layers of gravel/soil on the sides of the tanks like how u do the front with just the sand layer especially when u can walk around a tank and see it.
Loving Rainbow fish, have just added Rainbow fish to my 4ft turtle tank a few months ago, so far so good! A display to show how they look when mature is a great idea! Cant wait for the discus tank!💜
Absolutely beautiful...are you guys using co2 on any of these tanks?
I thought swords need co2?
Can we please 🥺 get another video a week ❓ok ok pretty please 🥺😁 You are absolutely killing (in a good way) the aquarium hobby and are hands down my favorite fish tuber. Still sad I didn't get to meet you when you visited the US. 👍👍
Been watching your vids for the better part of 2 years. 😊 after watching your vid in America. Got me thinking 😂 if you ever want to come out to South Africa let me know. Got space for you and your wife if someone can watch your kids 😂 free accomidation at my place if you help me get my tank looking like one of yours 🤣 I’m based in Johannesburg. Skip and a jump to Kruger National park if you and the Mrs wanted to go see some wildlife. Plus the exchange rate these days would be really cheap for you to visit. 🎉
Please do all the dad jokes, I love them!
Ein schönes Scape, entstanden durch ein "Dreamteam", das mit viel Kompetenz, aber auch sehr viel Spaß bei der Sache ist. 😀👍
Kleine Kritik am Rande: Ich hätte lieber eine Art weniger eingesetzt, dafür mehr Individuen pro Schwarm, was dem natürlichen Vorkommen der Regenbogenfische eher entspricht. 😉
