Hi thanks for all you do 🐠 what is the plant weight you use to make the bundles?
Please make a kit of your water changing hose. I’ll buy and I’m sure many many more would too
I feel like im constantly holding my breath, hoping md's studio doesnt collapse
Im adding 2x 4ft aquariums and 1x 3ft aquarium soon as well 😂
You are not the only one 😝
MD likes to live dangerously
There’s steals 👍🏻 perfectly safe.
I have that phobia too, idk I’m just very skeptical of structures and my distribution of weight on floors that aren’t the first floor, why am I like this 🤣
Another day, another MD video making all my tanks look crap 😂😭❤️
I feel the same wayyy
AHAHA
I feel this.....
Then it will give you the inspiration to have new ideas when watching MDs new builds.I’ve lots of new ideas going around in my head..I use the same fish store as MD to get my fish.great place..MAIDENHEAD AQUTICS...WELLINGTON...I’m going to start breeding all kinds of different fish..
lol same
Everyday I get up in the morning and pray for you so that your studio does not collapse with the weight of these tanks
I think the same thing,just a matter of time!
Great scape. Few things. That ada soil, along with almost all plant substrates will releases ammonia into the water for the first month or so, and no filter (cycled), will be able to counteract that as the set up is so new. Those stones are known to increase water hardness too, which crystal shrimp hate.
I love the channel and watch all the time, and I’m sure you know what you’re doing. Thought I’d mention it in the event you’re having shrimp deaths. Crystals are much more sensitive than like cherry or blue shrimp. I found out the hard way what plant substrate can do, lol.
Blessings my man. Thanks for the content.
yeah thanks. I'll make sure to do regular water changes and testing.
I thought the same. But he definitely knows what he is doing and everything is gorgeous!!!! He has experience and a little luck backing him. Lol
@@steflewins let's see your tanks, then.
Nothing like a MD video in the morning ❤
Its 15:38
Sorry i forgot that everybody doesnt live in South Africa😅
@@scoty_.g1772 it's 19:16 from where I am!!
Lol I'm in east coast of USA which was 8am my time of when this video came out
I love watching your channel when I’m bored or need to research because I’m soon gonna try to breed shrimp for the first time.
I love Saturday mornings! Pop out of bed, then drink a nice cup of tea while watching MD's newest video. Well, not quite, feed the dog, let him out, let him in, let him out, let him in...😜. Hopefully before the cup of tea is cold I get to watch the whole video ☕🐕🐟
Thank you for showing us the 'real' steps you take to set up the tanks. It was nice to know that you actually glue and weigh plants down and I always wondered how you move your tanks once completed. I love your channel and have watched forever but have failed in my own small tank because I didn't know about these little hacks lol
Love the soil choice! I haven‘t seen so many people using this kind of color in their scapes and I love to see more of them!
MD: the're 12 Tanks left.
Me: one tank a day keeps the boredom away.
Greetings from Germany .Love your Videos so much. Keep it up !😊
ADA Africana is STUNNING and those rocks deserve an aquascape all of their own! 💚💚💚🤩
"Java fern and Anubias are pretty tough" -- I'll say. I once was trimming up a tank and tossed some Anubias in a bucket to move to a storage tank later. And forgot. When I finally remembered them at the back of the room, all the water had evaporated but about an inch and they'd been in near-total darkness for months. They were fine. XD
I always love your aquarium videos, MD. You have an amazing artistic flair and your tanks don't just house happy, healthy fish, shrimps, etc; they are works of art via your placement of rocks, driftwood, plants, and soil. :)
We haven't seen the rams in the amazon tank for a bit! Amazing video as always MD 😊
I've been curious about the rams and colombians as well.
No we haven’t,I’ve had 3 pairs of German rams from the same store..good size and colour to...
I really loved your little subtropical fish paradise in you garden shed as an example of what people can achieve when they're really into a hobby - but it's quite obvious that your new fish room(s) give you a lot more options! It looks very nice.
As always the end product is gorgeous! Your builds are mesmerizing and I even love the background music!
Couldn't agree more, he must inspire so many people!!
Love the way that you Aqua Scape. Very beautiful.
New scape looks great. Love the shrimp. But what about their feeding dish.
I think it would look cool if you took a complete line of one of the racks and landscape the line to look like one big tank. Basically the landscape of one tank would flow into the other and would give the illusion of one tank.
hey, where's the reminder to click sumfink? almost forgot to hit that 'like' button ;)
looks great. i have crystal red shrimp and they do really well in my soft tap water with active substrate as well. no need for chasing parameters. one comment though that africana aquasoil even though less nutrient rich will still have an ammonia spike, so you are taking a bit of a gamble putting in the shrimp in so early
He does frequent and large water changes so s/b fine.
You make it look effortless. I am hopeless at it 😁
It turned out so pretty.
If there are a lot of people that come up to see your grow out tanks it may be useful to put your logo on the door, so it is easier for them to find it and give you a sub
17:49. Phew! Saw the mesh around the super water vacuum here. I wondered in the last video how you avoid sucking up fish and shrimp!
Nanos are my favourite!!!
Hoping to get one soon- you might like red nosed shrimp
It turned out beautiful. I love the color in the back.
MD, your videos always give me my sanity back and helps me relax at the end of the day, if I had a crazy or horrible day, so for that I thank you.
Thanks for the great video! Huge fan of nano tanks. I am always amazed at the comments where they ask questions that you clearly addressed during this video 😂 tell them to please re-watch.
Excellent content !!! Wow !thank you! Just finished cycling my 2.5 gal and will get some crystal red ones 🦐🦐
Sir you killed it really you're a legend.
Big fan from Jhansi India.
Hope to meet you atleast once in my life. Lots of love. Keep growing.
I am a huge fan especially over shrimp, nano fish, and dwarf cichilds. Liked☺
Good video.
Super glue reacts with water so for curing just spray on a bit of water, no need to wait.
You should start a rescue series where you rescue people's home tanks. Start with mine 😅
Another great video ! I love them, I find them very relaxing to watch. I love how you pay attention to every single detail. It really shows. You are meticulous right down to cleaning the glass & doing a background. I see beautiful tanks with beautiful fish & scapes but the glass is dirty. Looks horrible ! I am constantly wiping my tanks down, including the lids. I have backgrounds also. Another pet peeve of mine. I hate to see the cords. Anyway, all the attention you pay to details really shows - They are ab solutely gorgeous !!!
Thanks for another great build! I have learned so much watching your channel.
I like how the rock on the right side looks like a hand. Very cool
Best looking one so far! Love the color contrast, less green, but lots of green!
Glad you like it. Thanks very much :)
I love these shrimp tanks scapes. You should try and make it a Saturday video each week for a month or say for the rest of them. Excellent though MD. 👌
Really love your aquascape collections.
Looks amazing really love the red to break up all the green that soil is really nice. Gotta get some of that. Love your videos look forward to them.
What a beautiful inspiration you've created❤it's mesmerizing🥺Thank you for this great content channel. It's so relaxing and aesthetic.
MD, this tank looks great, best shrimp tank so far.... Thank you -from NYC
Love the talking Diskus at the begnining xD
Another phenomenal video! Truly enjoyed it! 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow that’s cool 😎 love it
I so want you to make a shell dwellers tank md they are so funny to watch could make a great tank with rocks and plants for them I'd even send you some neolamprologus multifasciatus shell dwellers for the tank
YAY!!! NANO Shrimp Scape Time!!!!! LOVE the Discus Commentary LOL!
I belive your best shrimp scape on the rack
Keep it up ! Love your work, you continue to inspire me to improve my fish tank.
Another great video MD! I was thinking about using the elephant stone in my next scape! Thanks for helping me make the decision! I was wondering how it looked under water! Can’t wait to see what you do with the Asian theme tank when you rescape it!
I absolutely loved this! came out so beautiful!!
Hi. beautiful tank. what product or material used after wrapping the plant with filter floss? thank u
My friend for the shrimp of water in the face of the drops. Thank you for
You are the best aqua-scaper I have ever seen.
Really ? You should check green aqua or adaview
ok
Yea, they are very good too, better than I will ever be lol.
@@kimphongchuong6952 they are just a little better than md
MD absolutely killin' it with the background music! How can those shrimp not be breeding with that playing in the room??? HAHA
One of the first ones here gonna be 🔥
If you want them to breed, keep them on a dennerle shrimpking soil or an ADA amazonia ver. 2. Those are really active in lowering the ph and kh but aren’t so nutrient rich!
Mashaallah MD u are amazing, i have a question do shrimps require oxygen pump in the tank or it will survive only with plants oxygen?
I have yellow neo's on tropica and they breed like there's no tomorrow, so it's not that. Even with Betta in tank
Great example of what you can do with such a small tank! So beautiful, keep it up MD!
Hey MD, you should post videos of tanks after they are completed! maybe just set a camera up recording while you edit videos and just post the whole raw footage of aquariums that were set up in the past! would be cool to get to watch the aquariums and see how everything is doing after it has been set up :)
Beautiful, I'm hoping to do a nano shrimp tank, one question though, do shrimp need a heater?
You create master piece with each product 👍❤️
Happy to be back 🤘💚💚💚💚😎
I love the commentaries from the Discus! 🤣
Hey mate I wanted to ask on some advice? I plan on rescaping my 10 gallon cherry shrimp tank, I was wondering what is the best way to go about it. Such as removing the shrimp, getting rid of empty snail shells and such? I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Love your stuff keep it up!!!
Another amazing video man. I really love your work. But FYI Crystal Black shrimp are Caridina Cantonensis, not Neocaridina. :)
Brilliant bro
Love your aqua scaping!
What is the the sand and gravel mix you used in this tank? Why did you use it?
Awesome nano aquascape mate! What paint do you use for your black backgrounds? More nano aquascapes please 😁👏🏻
12:40. MD’s landlord: 😮😬
Should alternate cubes on your rack shrimp cube then betta cube! Great vid!
When you do those bundles of stem plants, do you ever end up un-doing them and replanting back to single stems?
I have some green Cabomba that is not doing so well as single stems ... they don't stay planted, never seem to get good root formation, etc. I may put them in bunches like you have.
I've done the bundle method and it work well with them. I found the key was to not crowd them with other plants and allow them to speed out their stems. I'm guessing the leave can better photosynthesize and less chance for algae growth.
Is that floor wood or vinyl? Because i cringe every single time i see you putting some sharp rocks or dripping wet plants on it 😛😜 i just love watching you work on these amazing scapes! Keep up the good work, lots of love 😘
Hello! I just had a little question: grey stones don't increase the GH of the water too much? I only use dragonstone for the crystal red, otherwise it modifies the parameters... thanks!
Love the aquascape setup!
I was wondering does the ADA africana leach ammonia?
Have you had any issues with the plant stems rotting from wrapping them like that? Thanks
You need an active soil for Caridina shrimp, you are lucky they live in your tap water. Ro water ftw 😉
Most area in UK have soft water, so the pH is in the parameters for caridina naturally but your spot on if you have hard water with high PH, if anything the issue is calcium
@@77slate It would be beneficial for him to use something like akadama soil and even though you can use tap water in the UK (except areas with poor water quality) for caridina shrimp it's always better to use RO water because you can control the exact TDS and what is in the water as they are extremely sensitive and use something like Bee Shrimp salt to perfect that water and so there is consistency within the water parameters everytime.
@@kieranbrown1151 would never trust tap water god knows what they put in it and a change of parameters is bye bye to sensitive shrimp
@@kieranbrown1151 I'm not disputing RO isn't useful, but neither is it necessary as the TDS can be easily managed and stabilised with water changes, Also yes the soil and salt also useful, but also not necessary, as the water parameters are in the correct ranges to begin with. Stability of the parameters is important yes but UK water is very stable in its quality
@@danmiller6350 I always use an RO system because all it takes is chlorine flush from a water supply to completely wipe out a tank and I like the controllability of RO water and Caradina shrimp are a whole different world to neocaradina.
Even though you don't have a saltwater aquarium the cyanoacrylate super glue gel is also safe for corals
Really love this one MD
So do you use treated tap water or water thats been ready for weeks as you put the shrimp in after filter was in only an hour x also what water conditioner do you use x
Dont shrimps need a matured tank with some biofilm on the hardscape? Just wondering the instant scaping approach even with the magic water :)
I think because his plants and sponge filter were in other tank there is enough to keep the shrimp going
Yea, I guessed so too :) thanks
Shrimp can eat bio film. They can also eat shrimp food too.
The idea of having a mature tank is mainly for water stability.
New nutrient rich substrate will leach more before tapering off. Plants that have been uprooted or plant trimmings take a while to recover before they start growing again. So the amount of nitrates they pull out hasn't stabilize.
I'm sure MD knows what he's doing though so he can manage it.
My tank is arriving Monday - Mother’s Day present... I want to set it up with shrimp. What food for plants and the shrimp would you recommend please?
I've used the tropical, api and easy life are all have decent plant ferts, in terms of food nt labs and hakari foods are good too. Nice gift, what shrimp are you getting?
@@77slate I haven’t decided yet. Want to get the tank up and running and then go and get some shrimp. Think that’s a shop close by to where I live in the south west.
@@tessahawkins3019 awesome, hope its a great success for you and happy mothers day.
@@77slate thank you for your help
Some good plant fertilizers that I know are ADA, Tropica, Aquarium co op ferts . Good shrimp food are dennerle shrimp king
Great scape have a nice weekend!
Who else was sad when MD took plants from the new grow out tanks! They are so nice!
Love shrimp I have some cherries
I do really love your plants. ☺️
You should do a raffle where the winner gets to choose what aquascaping materials and livestock you use for a tank. 😊
You shd do a video of your kids designing a fish tank however they want and you build it however they want 😂 their imagination will run wild😂
He kinda did, the kids wanted a pirate ship tank!
awesome scape again MD!!!
Hahaha the thoughts of the discus 😂😂
Amazing work & video! This is exactly what I want to make. A planted nano shrimp tank, but I can't decide since I've read something about the tank water evaporating and that it is not healthy if you breath it in. What do you think about that?
Especially if someone doesn't do water changes.
Any tips for submerging wood one keeps getting getting a brown hair looking stuff
Can you make shrimp tank but in island design alone? I think it looks cool. Like take tank and put decently sized island in middle
I like that kind of tank!
Pls get some Mbuna and do a big 450l tank for them with some vallis a some of that mountain stone
hey there MD i needed to ask you a question what food do you feed your shrimps?
By the way, don’t buy moss balls right now or if you do don’t put it in your tank!
Zebra mussels are tank destroyers
Saw the reports of that in the US crazy stuff.
Thanks for telling me i havent heard it but as a fisherman i have heard they destroy lakes aswell
@@jacobguy3343 they really do
Apparently originated from a bad batch from the Ukraine
