Full tutorial of the angelfish aquarium plus how it looks after 5 months!! Full disclosure, I added co2 for about 1 week after I set it up but took it off soon after as everything was growing too fast 🤣. I've put together everything as a final nod to the best tank I've created so far in terms of successful plants, minimal algae and just an overall almost perfect balance.

Are you going to get any lizards?

@@mrkrabs5729 I'm not sure. KZread can often push you into things that you don't actually really passionately want. This is not good for animals. So getting lizards because I fancy it is not good enough in my opinion. Maybe later. I'm really into my fish and turtles at the moment...

Since your into aquatic animals could you get some rice fish or some dwarf frogs?? I dunno just wondering but rice fish are so cool I don't have any because in the U.S there's not many places that sell them.

Hi MD, I'm from South Africa, and not a professional aquascaper, I used to get so frustrated watching so many aquascaping vids on KZread, until I seen this video of yours. I really appreciate the time you took and for showing us all the details that went into creating your beautiful aquascape. Please keep your vids like this one. It gives me hope that I can aquascape one day as good as you. I like how simple you explain everything and make it a joy to aquascape instead of an all out preping like for an examination 😂. I have subscribed to your channel because of this detail video.. Keep up the great aquascaping and continue thinking of guys like me, who love to learn how to aquascape and are not professionals. 👍

AFRICA? Shouldn't you save the water for drinking then LOL

So I have been watching NON-STOP (maybe a wee nap, that's it) for DAYS on dozens of KZread providers trying to find someone who takes you STEP-BY-STEP through handscaping, planting, filtration, how to set up your system so it doesn't LOOK LIKE A HOT MESS with tubes and cords everywhere, and to see how the baby plants mature to see what "they do" from being small to more established....ALL THAT SAID, You, my friend have WON THE ACADEMY AWARD for BEST PRODUCED series in Aquascape building! Congratulations and more importantly, THANK YOU; you did an AWESOME JOB! For the record, you have beautiful eyes....not "hitting on you LOL" just an honest observation. Take care and I hope to see more videos!

Fish have been my ever growing, overwhelming obsession as long as I can remember. Now I have 10 tanks of my own and am always Looking to make space for another. I've watched thousands of fish videos over the years x Diy king and Rachael Oleary were my favorite channels for years until I found your page. Not only do you manage to teach everything your doing in a simple way. But every single damn video has so much heart and passion. You are a constant inspiration in my life and I thank you for being you. Im almost ready to start filming my whole fish room when everything is looking perfect , im almost there. Im brand new to KZread i hope you see this man, stay up.

This is how a fishtank should look like! 👍

Calling 90° angles 45° is one of his specialties! He does it in so many videos. ^^

I was going crazy thinking i've heard you say this stuff before, then realized you have just reused a section from an old video which was really informative. Great video :)

I love rewatching your older videos. The pipe cleaners from your kiddos craft area is so relatable ♥️👌👍

Very pretty, Angelfish in a planted tank looks like a great combo.

Wow this video inspired me to make my first low-tech aquarium! I didn't realize you can getaway with these floodlights and still grow plants. I love that you provide a lot of information about plants, substrate etc in simple manner.

You are such a joy to watch! Not only are you very creative, but you make me giggle whenever you get so excited and tongue tied...you'll say "I'm not saying that. " lol thanks MD

I love your decor videos but what I love most is Your personality and how down to earth you are! Your demo aquariums brightens up the drab Weather here in Ohio, USA! Thank you so much!

These videos when you show not just the aquascaping, but also all the other DIY that goes into making the whole tank work are so helpful! Thank you!

For your light brackets: You have made a "hinge" that is held in place only by friction. I suggest putting one more screw in so that the light does not come down into your tank over time. Love your videos.

Having just watched a video of a 7x aquascape winner, im even more impressed by your videos which I've only recently been watching. I love your honesty and happy go lucky personality and the fun you have with your friend from Maidenhead Aquatics. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and personally i love your creations. Thankyou, im a firstime aquarium owner (all my fish are in my large pond in my tropical themed garden at the moment) but you have given me the inspiration to try replicate my garden in a 40inch tank. Great stuff 👏

Just started my first tank after many years out of the hobby, ive seen SO many of your videos. I already want more tanks!! Md you really have a crazy talent for this hobby!

“Chuck it down.” An excellent technique and so simple.

You have brought a new lease of life to my love of landscape gardening and tropical fish keeping. Can't wait to try out your ideas!

Just... great! I'm literally speechless 😂 Awesome work, as always!

OMG! So very beautiful and serene . Another masterpiece well done!

This tank is amazing!! Plus the length of the video, could happily listen and watch all day. Sweet job mate 👌

I'm jealous of all your plants & aquariums that you're given.

wow this is an amazing scape man, love to see the progress over 5 months!

i like your approach to casual planted tank building. it's suppose to be fun in the first place.

I love the way you cut the wood outside without any shoes on just like any man lol 😂 love them videos well done 👍

It's a work of art, my friend. The tricks with the moss & silicone are clever. Many thanks!

I'm on the west coast of the US and love manzanita. I even have a creeping species in my yard that I harvest or mini manzanita wood from.

Wow, what a gorgeous setup, loved the process and your use of the different elements of mediums. Truly awesome man 👍🙏👍

It’s just gorgeous you made a beautiful home for those lovely fish I love angels it’s beautiful and so serene I can sit and look at this aquarium forever☺️

I was surprised that you posted two tutorials in a row great job but I realized you have been working on this for a long time love your vids

A very nice aquarium showing that with the selection of appropriate plants and lighting you can have a nice tank without CO2

that looks fantastic....lots of realism when adding those different types of pebbles

I hate aquariums but really like watching you. You're a natural showman. .

Best content on YT! This is my fav of your videos, I think I've watched it 40 times. Stunning! Thank you for doing what you do!

I absolutely agree. Get as many plants as you can right away. It really helps balance your Aquarium quickly 🙂

Amazing video professor MD! ☺️🌱Good teaching, and fantastic camera work. 💚🌿

Love the makeshift cleaner from your kids’ art supplies 😂 That’s so creative! Awesome set up

This guy is brilliant. He has great eye and he understands hardscape and plants.

Great job! You are really inspiring me to step up my aquarium game! I have 4 tanks and seem to suck at plants. Trying to get better. Keep up the good work!

I haven't got a setup at the moment dude and tropical has been a hobby in the past I stumbled on to your channel by accident with you tube and watching you and seeing the setups you create have spurd my interest again this means at some point I'm going to start with fish again so I'm watching with interest your doing a great job and will continue to observe.

Add a red or orange fish 😍. The greens and dark backgrounds with the light flooring match your fish...throw in a red with all the greens around it...BOY!!! Lol. Your work is amazing. I love it. Im just starting up my own business here building custom aquariums and watching the way you do everything gives me great inspiration on things and ideas I can shoot towards my customers. Keep up the great work.

Just amazing skills, brilliant scaping, by far the best on the tube, keep them coming please.

Amazing vidéo. Thanks you, you made me want to resume this passion after 4 years of stopping

Beautiful tank! It really has grown in and it's really cool to see the 5 month progress (must have been a long video in the making lol)

What a great video! I'm going to watch this again when I put mine together in a couple weeks!!! Good job!

Picking up the hobby after more than 5 years and this videos are awsome, love your approach by not following "rules", didn't know simple floodlights could actually been used for lighting an aquarium and have a lush plant growth, I come from the T8 era lol. I've got two 30W 6500K and two 30W 3000K led floodlights lying around maybe I can use them for my 200L tank.

Only just discovered your channel and wish I had found it sooner. Love the way you do your videos! Keep up the good work :)

@MD It's fun that you "wing it." Don't change. I like that you use natural materials. I think the fish are happier.

That tank is bloody well gorgeous. So beautiful.

MD, your video are really lovely, this scape is no exception. Beautiful

Thank you, this really made my day better, by watching you plant an aquirium! I'm going to make an angelfish tank (50 gallon) soon!

Just ended watching it, I promise I thought this was the new one, it looks awesome and it feels like if you just made it hahaha keep it up MD

Your videos inspire me to quit my day job and become a full-time aquarist 😂

Such a beautiful and impressive scape. 🤯 I really enjoyed the build process and commentary

Your the man! I'm such a fan now. Just stumbled upon the channel.

This is inspirational and I am going to build this for my collection ... Thanks a lot ... loved it

This video is a huge inspiration to my next tank it's going to be a 120L (I'm Australian) heavily planted angel fish and Molly tank. Absolutely stunning fish. Huge fan of your videos ❤

Just amazing work. You, sir, have a real talent. And a great eye. Bravo.

Well Ive watched this video a few times over the years, it was your best build!

Very beautiful setup. An imagination of nature. Nice, peaceful environment for the fishes.

Beauty angelfish, I have had all kinds of fish fresh and saltwater, over 30 years into the hobby. Angelfish are just about the perfect specimens to keep, beautiful, hearty and active. They are so cheap it's ridiculous. I bought two gorgeous golden marbles for 11$, paid 20$ for two ghost angels, so I have 4 total. So far, they are some of the coolest young fish I ever had, loaded with personality. Soon as the light comes on they are super active, swimming and schooling around the tank, they want to eat all the time and have a feeling they will never stop eating the flakes. I give them flakes, mysis shrimp, some beta buffet...they eat it all but prefer the flakes. You can get really colorful blue Philippine angels and there's so many kinds, I had no clue. Definitely check em out, they are underrated fish to keep in the hobby.

When you had your logo sitting in the tank, it gave me an idea. You need a logo branded tank. Get a black background with your logo printed on it and scape around it where it always shows through. Use it in the intro on your videos. Your logo rocks…make it the center of what you do…

I love your content! I always get so much inspiration from watching your videos!

Fantastic setup, clean and so natural!

Kudos MD! I am a Fan of your works! Keep creating awesome videos 😉👍

Your aquariums are the best I've seen.. I love the videos.. Very inspirational. They look fantastic. Well done 👏 👏👏

Love your aquascaping. Your tutorials are very helpful.

Nice to have a tank full of beautiful plants to shop from. Wonderful aquascape. I'm just getting started, you've taken a lot of the guesswork out ot it. Thanks you.

Been watching a bunch of your videos this is my favorite one as far as the hard scape of the tank. Beautiful. 👍💙

It's almost 2am, but that was worth it. Beautiful set up! Gives me more to think about with my 55 gal coming soon. 🤔

"Ow that really hurt" reminded me of "Charlie, that really hurt!" 🤣

Great images indeed. Great tuto as well. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Great video. I'll be watching again once my tank arrives

Loved this video, it's made me want to get rid of any fibreglass tree trunks and branches and go fully natural.

Like this guy esp. how he gets on to it without YAPPING for 20 minutes first; GOOD JOB!!! CCC /Austin, TX

Excellent vid, thank you. I'm going to turn my reef tank into a planted jungle, so I'm saving this, and subscribing.

Looking forward to this tank being setup in the new studio for the discus. I’m sure it will be your best scape yet 🙂

You did an amazing job at aquascaping your new new looking forward to more

So enjoyed watching your artwork. Amazing therapy.

Hi 🥰🥰 Im from sri lanka 🇱🇰🇱🇰 Nice work 🥰 Very beautiful ❤️

Great tank and video. I have almost the identical lights, except mine are 5700K. Awesome and cheap. I am so impressed with the 10 and 20W I am about to buy the 30W version. I have modified a floor lamp to fit them, but the wood idea is a great one. Been thinking of steel and plastic, but the wood is much easier and cheaper to construct. Will give that some thought. I have replaced 70 and a 100W old metal halide floor lamp with a 20W LED and am getting as much light as before and a lot less heat. You are correct about shimmer and strip lights. Technically these are wide-angle 'flood lights' but the closer to a point-source you get, ie a spot-light, the better the shimmer effect. Long strip-lights (LED) are basically the same as the old flourescent lights but alot more efficient and brighter. Problem is you get a diffuse light, no shadows. I am a big fan of spot lighting. Got some ideas from this video and setup thank you.

Freaking beautiful tank! Another amazing job done MD!!

Literally heaven for them, fishes. I know nature is the best but compare to those places where they had lived, these tanks made by him are on another level.

Bro its so satisfying you are a lucky guy owning such a masterpiece.

I’ve noticed you used a lot of API products, so even though they a little hard to find in the Philippines, I tried to get them to emulate what you are doing right with your tanks. Thank you for sharing your vlogs.

Hi MD, what an amazing scape! So inspiring 😍

Just ordered a 4ft tank, 340l, and plan on trying to recreate this for my angels and black ruby barbs! Thank you @MD!

It was really great to watch! Amazing !

Amazing job MD it looks spectacular! Now I'm going to skip back to the beginning of the video 😂 to watch you scape it!

​@@MDFishTanksHi MD. Beautiful aquascaping as always with amazing hard scape. Can i mimic this tank to keeping discus instead of angelfish. Is it possible? Yeah i know to even mimic this kind of level is almost impossible to attain.

Ive been using api quickstart and flourish bc of you and so far 11 days in i think my tank is doing great! Thanks dude!

Wow! This is epic! Love the tank 👍🐟

This has to be to this date. Still one of the best builds. Loving it brother.

Incredible and very beautiful, your a natural as they say , how come you’re fish don’t jump , my little blighters do .

Moss on rocks looks fanastic. Ill like to see a simple video showing how to trim it to get that effect. I really enjoyed the guide on how you use the moss on the rocks. I would agree with others that this is probably your best work. Good video!

hey man i love your videos I've been binge watching your videos and your such a nice positive person your helping me through a lot.

4:20 anaerobic substrate actually has its benefit: The anaerobic bacteria break down nitrate into nitrogen and release the gas, meaning you'll have a lower nitrate count. Hence I always go with deep (10cm+) substrate tanks, really helps keeping nitrates in check in case you ever miss a water change day!
