Where can I buy your plants???
Video 40 of asking for a tank with some freshwater dolphinfish please.
My heart sank when you added that big stump of wood - I thought, ' oh no, that'll never work' - but you proved me so wrong. What a brilliant tank, Well done! Plus that overhang at the back looks so good, and so natural for the fish to hang. If I had a big tank I would do that now. too. Super.
Beautiful
Very very expensive piece of wood I’d say £300-£450 ?
I think this is the most dramatic tank, absolutely love it. I'm going to try it on my next build.
I'm haven't even made it to the end of the video but this is already a brilliant build! ... I'm far too old to be a "fan boy" but, damn, you have created a masterpiece! You're moving up into a nature doco videographer as well - that bit at the end with the music and great shots of the fish enjoying the environment was mesmerising! The only thing missing was narration by Sir David Attenborough!
The tank is amazing!! The fish blend well. My wife and I, have learned more from you in one month, than all the books and programs out there!!
I think this one has to be my favorite tank of yours this year. Really dramatic! It's like an art piece!
Sooo prettyyyyyy.
Love the build! Just one safety suggestion - try putting rocks inside of a sock or something similar before breaking them. Not only will you keep everything together, minimizing clean up, but you also significantly reduce the amount of shrapnel/dust in the air, making the process safer overall.
Hope this helps! Goggles also aren’t a bad idea 😁🐠💕🥽🔨
Yes!
More themed tanks please
Yes!
Absolutely stunning. You continue to outdo yourself always pushing the boundaries to create true aquatic works of art. As always I look forward to seeing what you create next.
A tank that will grab everybody's attention ,one of the best you have done in my opinion
I like naturalistic tanks best, but this one looks really amazing. I never would’ve thought I’d like red sand so much.
i believe this is the best one that you have setup..loving the colors
A spiny eel would look awesome in this tank, and though a fire eel would fit the vibe and look cool,; would get too big. I'd love to see MD do and eel tank just once :)
Yeeeessssss!
Man you really have outdone yourself with this tank. It is beautiful!
11:53, there is a face of an old man on the lower right side of the hardscape. Looks awesome. Even more when the scape is done.
OMG ! This is soooo beautiful. The tree stump, so little plants and dragon stone, this is amazing, you got a talent and keep surprising us. Thank you.
This is one of the most beautiful tanks I’ve seen so far. Your progress since the shed days is incredible, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
That was exceptionally breathtaking. No matter what the na sayers say. Amazing taking notes.
I think some really shiny silver colord fish would be great in this tank.
Love the Elden Ring comparison. This is very much a piece of Caelid lol
I really didn't think that that HUGE bit of wood was going to look good. But as always MD proved me wrong. Which just reinforces what MD says ... 'Trust in the process' ... GREAT VIDEO !!!
This is definitely my favourite red tank you've ever done!
cutting the wood inside on a coffee table and smashing rocks with a hammer on that floor is..... insane lol.
Tank looks great though
He cleaned the filter outside though! 🤣
I WAS THINKING THAT
I love the more natural heavily planted tanks but as a nerd lol,this is AMAZING!!!
I cannot stop watching this tank. It's mesmerizing. The darkness beneath the overhang, wow, what an area. The drama!
Like someone already said this is a great scape for very silver fish they'd stand out great ! Loving this concept
This is now my favorite aquascape. Awesome tank design!
I really love the all red design theme. I just did something like this with a small 6 gallon tank. Also - I can't be the only person who thought the duck sound was hilarious....
🤣😂🤣 .. no worries.. just go steal a coaster from your favorite place and glue it over the hole. Or put it on a pivot and you can run a wire if you need to. Then you have a "secret reminder"
Beautiful build! I really appreciate the way that you never settle, and keep working and tweaking until its just right.
Red is my favourite colour and I love this tank 😀 Great work MD.
I am just going to say it, straight away it is eye catching. so beautiful❤
Daaaaamn those bites you've smashed on the floor fits sooooooooooooooo great! It's amazing aquascape! When i'm thinking that you litteraly cannot scape better you comming with another video with better aquascape every time! GREAT WORK! BLESS YOU!
Thats gotta he the most unique looking tank and aquascape ive ever seen! Spectacular!!
This is beautiful. I'm a beginner and have been following you for inspiration and WOW!!!
Michael Scott reminded me to hit the Like button, though I would of smashed it at the completed scape anyway. It is an absolute piece of art that! I have a two week oldish red colour themed tank with the plants only just starting to settle in nicely when I just couldnt find that je ne sais quoi that seems to be missing. It wasnt even the Chili rasbora I decided against getting to go with the red cherry neocaridina in this 40L tank; it was the soil. Definitely popping a red gravel cap in that scape tomorrow! Never thought I'd be popping any caps. Look what you made me do. And cheers for that.
Beautiful tank mate, next level, this is now my favorite tank that I’ve ever seen you do, the drama is amazing.
Ignore the negative comments-you are a great artist 😊
Not something I'd do with my own tanks, but I can still appreciate the beauty of it!
I love this coloration. May have to try this on a smaller scale with one of my nano tanks!
Nitrate limitation boosts red colors. Both they don’t have enough. I always reduce nitrates on competition tanks and increase light to get more reds right before submission time.
when are we getting a salt water tank update??
I don’t think it’s turning out exactly as expected. As someone who’s been in the hobby for many, _many_ years I think most of these new “high tech” devices retailers are pushing aren’t necessary. Both myself and my brother have successfully kept marine tanks (fish, inverts & mixed) longterm with just the following; dolomite substrate (maintains PH,) floating glass hydrometer (specific gravity @ 1020), an under-gravel filter and an outside filter (either hang-on box or Eheim*), a decent light and cheap-o test kits. We never used UV sterilizers (sterilize fish with potassium permanganate and/or quarantine.) Bro eventually got a protein skimmer but monthly water changes are all that’s necessary. No metal must come in contact with water _EVER_ and Copper Sulphate kills inverts (& beneficial bacteria,) if you must use copper for copepods isolate the fish. Salt water is no more complicated than fresh water, retail outlets make it seem so to sell beginners $$/££ things.
_Eheim are a bit pricey but well worth it, they are amazing filters. Individual parts are available however I’ve had a couple from the 90s (bros has his from the 80s) and they still work well. If you spend a lot on one item it should be on the filter!_
PS; MD might want to try a more “low-tech” marine tank with just the basics (start tank with a grouper and/or domino damsels, the best fish for cycling.)
Music selection is top tear
Cool tank. Love the choice of slate detail stones.
That's a statement tank! Wow, really beautiful and different. It's amazing how you can use all sorts of materials that you've used before and create something totally new.
MD!! I would definitely recommend Cryptocoryn Bronze or red! Or tropica It would go so great for fires!!🔥 This tank looks so unique and refreshing! I love it. Good job Md!
Stunning! The other red tank was cool but this one is very dramatic
I would love if you made a few recordings of your fish tanks like you did in the last few seconds of this video. A few hours of tank and music that we could put on as background noise and TV. Your tanks are lovely to look at all day long.
huge improvement than how it was before
This tank is amazing! Strong work my friend! 💪🏻
By far my favorite tank so far!
A tank with a 100+ rummy nose tetras would be cool!
Knew I should have ordered the mesh bags, 😅 I disturbed the layers by accident with the chunky wood I put in, it was a disaster on my first build, eventually everything leveled out but I'm going to break it down and redo. The only diggers I have are crayfish, and they are satisfied with the wood pieces and the hollows in them. I'm planning on just making one half the plants and sorting out my tank and do a rebuild and learn from my mistakes 😂 this looks beautiful MD! 🎉 Yikes, I thought my wood ratio was chunky for my tank, but that's massive, ok, I feel better about my choices going with the wood more than the rocks in my hardscape lol.
Haha! Gettin jiggy! Technical term of course.
“That’s what she said!”
_naughty little MD!_
I love this one! It turned out great. Sometimes you have to just trust your artistic vision and see it through. Even when it seems risky.
I had my doubts when you started this tank but it turned out great!
Now that is one gorgeous tank! I really like this one. I usually like everything you do but this one is special!! Nice job!!
Always loved the Synodontis. I'm so glad to see you have some.
Love the scape, but not the red. Having said that, it does fit with the scheme you were going for!
I think this is my favourite tank you’ve done. The colours are amazing and so calming. Great job .
I finally took the plunge and got a good light that you featured in the recent video series, and got 4 new plants for a well-established tank with Rainbow Fish and a couple green corydoras. I'm looking forward to seeing how the plants do with the new light! Thanks for the inspiration! Also, I'm so glad you mentioned not to bury the rhizomes! I had to dig mine up and attach them to things the right way. :)
I’ve been using the eheim 4+ for well over 8 years now and they are super solid filters. The plus just means it has an extra media basket compared to the regular 4 version
Min 21:40 ish The Red colour can be enhanced by low Nitrogen and/or Phosphat lvls, however it is a very fine line between low lvls and deficency. Intense Lighting is much more important for the colouration anyway as the red Pigment (Anthrocyanates) is a UV protector akin to our Melanin (and its much harded to get a nice Tan if you live in Norway compared to Italy)
One of your best setups❤
Love it! Only thing I don’t like is the gray detail stones. Throws it off for me.
Gettin' jiggy wit' it
(Na-na, na, na, na-na-na-na)
(Na-na, na, na, na-na)🎶🎶
Welcome to *Fish Hub*
_Oh my!_ 😮😂
Yeah, I like the aquasoil in bags for those diggers. ^^
I imagine you can do the same with compost soil by making landscape fabric bags & putting those inside the mesh bags, since the former are a bit fragile, so that it would contain most of the tiny bits.
Simply stunning ❤
One of if not my favorite set up that I someday want to mimic. But with my twist! Awesome job!
Absolutely stunning tank looks unreal . If the fish seem happy then they are happy .
Nothing but 100 Paracheirodon Innesi in this tank would be absolutely magical. Maybe once your Mbuna need a larger tank? Please do not tear this down without trying to make it a Neons only tank 😊. Plus, Innesi in large groups are very brave fish, you would be seeing a lot of them. They are not hiding as much as the Simulans type.
...aaand Blue Jelly Shrimp look otherworldly on red plants.
i love to see people using red substrate, i’ve done a build like this with mostly dark black slate stone type rocks in a 5g with a betta
Another magnificent scape. Very striking! I was so excited with that piece of wood and then the placement of the dragon stone. Bravo sir!
I won't lie, for a minute there all I could see was a graboid(Tremors movie ft. Kevin Bacon) lol. Still, love how it ended up. Another great scape!
Прекрасный аквариум, очень круто получилось! ❤ 💥💥💥
This is one of the top 3 tanks you ever done. ✅ super sick I still like the archer fish tank a lot as well! We need an update on that tank!
Chunks would look nice in there. 👀
this is beautiful!!!! probably the most beautiful tank i've seen
This is such a cool fantasy/scifi build. I ADORE it for how creative it is
It really does have some Elden Ring vibes. I imagine some areas could make for really good inspiration (although Caelid would certainly work better as a desert vivarium for some outlandish animal)
Traditionally, people saw stuff on a work table or even work bench, outside or in the work shop. It keeps living spaces cleaner and free from so much damage that way :).
Awesome build!
This looks so good! Now I want a red one too.
I really liked this
Fantastic use of hardscape
This is a sublime scape
Amazing at 23:23 I noticed the peace of wood looks like a face and I can’t unsee it lol😅
Cool looking tank, its gonna really stand out in the fishroom😂. Can you do a lovely darkwater tank at some point. I know you did one accidentally b4 but a deliberate one would be good😅
coming very soon
Amazing tank ! And finaly somethink different than just stuffing the tank to the rim with free plants
this looks amazing it makes me want to start my tank again
Not gonna lie, was really liking the wood standing straight up creating an island feel. But still a stunning scape as usual!
This tank is amazing I never thought about about it making hues of red! Great job and thanks for sharing the beautiful process. Can your doing different hues of colors like yellow, purple, blue, black, and gray.
Looks like the Aussie outback! Cool tank 🇦🇺❤️
Wow! That must have been so much fun to create. You just keep coming up with new and unusual things and it works! Visually it’s a stunning tank, and so different from everything else you’ve done so far. You never cease to amaze me!
Stunning scape
Wow, this is one of the most beautiful tanks I have seen!
nice build MD!
One of the most dramatic tanks you done . Very cool 😎
Literally just started rewatching GoT a couple days ago lol. Love your tanks man!
I love the red! Definitely going to use something like that in my next tank!
Beautiful!
