Yo MD, I've recently set up a new tank and opted for the LED floodlight you use on the majority of your tanks. My only concern is, they do get a bit warm. I have a lid on my tank and I've not attached the light to the underneath as I'm a bit worried it'll get to hot and maybe damage the glass. I'm just looking for your opinion, have you used any of the LED lights under any covers?

This is so awesome! So natural! Tempted to setup another betta tank myself 😍

Bro you two should meet up and do like a 500 gallon aqua scape together

Gotta say, these setups are getting betta and betta. 😁😁😁

MD you should do a wild betta or wild gourami tank! Something a little different but there’s so many cool types Also you should look into rummynose rasbora think you’d really like them

Hey MD! Never commented before, but i have to tell you: This sponsored videos are by far the only one of all i‘ve ever seen before, incl. posts etc. which are not completely annoying and only worth fast-clicking away. Kudos for such professionell work!

It’s like an autumn inspired aqua scape

Very peaceful home you made him. It was heart warming to see him check out his new little cave.

Aaaah finally. My happy pill. Another md video comes out.

The pac-man botanical thingy looks really cool. And hell-boy is drop-dead gorgeous!!

I love it when I see a new MD upload. 👌

I finished my hardscape MD! 😀 Added a few anubias plants and just need a load of stems. Cant wait to show you!

Hi Jamie. Yeah show me next time I'm in the shop

I've been watching your videos for maybe 3-4 years now, and I just bought my first Betta fish! Thank you for your guides and inspiration!

The betta is loving that big open pod on the left!! Perfect choice to include that item in the botanicals! Wish I lived in UK and had Maidenhead Aquatics nearby! Can’t wait to see this tank progress a bit with little darker water and see the dwarf hair grass growth. Great build MD!

Loving this setup! 😍The colour combinations with the botanicals give a different vibe. Almost like an autumn feel. Awesome job as usual !

You honestly might be my new favorite KZreadr. Your content is so damn interesting

I’ve seen a good few of your videos now, what I like most is your consistency. Every set-up has the same good foundation and then you modify from there. I’ve never kept fish before but this makes me think I can have a go as long as I make sure the basics are all in place and I keep on top of water testing.

MP is the Bob Ross of fishkeeping

that detail gravel on top of gravel on top of capping sand on top of aquasoil that's under botanicals and cant be seen looks awesome MD. Great build, looks really natural

There's nothing like watching a happy betta fish exploring his new home. So rewarding!!

The way you and Matt bounce off each other is pure quality, only complaint I have is I now have an addiction to aquascaping since discovering your channel and now am looking at getting a 2nd tank

I waited 5 days for a video to finish aquascaping in Matt's Big Tank but this video was uploaded. Don't get me wrong, this video is also amazing...but I was actually looking forward for that particular video.

MD is really the Bob Ross of aquascaping

I love this tank ... and Hellboy is striking ... his lips just "pop" ... well done again MDarling great viewing- thank you!!

Awesome build MD! Love the colors of the botanicals with the hardscape and plants. Hellboy looks happy and loving his new home. Can't wait to see how the tank progresses.

This tank is love at first sight

Another brilliant work, I got so much aquascaping ideas from you MD!

Gorgeous tank! The colors in this build turned out wonderful!

Looking forward to see this tank mature. 🤗

I love Bettas, and always find myself coming back to this vid and a few others of yours

Ah man so glad you did a betta setup. You’ve made me want to rip mine apart and start again. Can’t wait for updates on this tank. I’ve got a 60L. with hood and light and am so tempted to rip that hood of and put on some overhead lights they look amazing.

MD you amaze me over and over. This is such a beautiful tank. I love the black water and especially the floating plants. Thank you so much for such a great video. I am making one.

Beautifully composed!

All the deep coloration in this build is so beautiful

Nice! The light through the val looks so natural. A visual feast

Not my favorite tank with the look of the initial setup BUT really looking forward to how it looks when the tannins are released and the plants take up some space!!!

I love the fact some people dislike certain tanks, just goes to show the diversity of the hobby and MD's builds

Very nice set up. I like the natural look. I’m sure the betta loves it as well. ❤️🐠

brilliant aquascape. looking forward to the blackwater discus tank.

The first video I ever watched of his was his 4ft axolotl tank. I instantly fell in love with the channel and I now watch all his videos.

Really like the simplicity here MD. Hellboy looks completely at home 😊. He jas changed so much!

Your work inspire everyone Thank You so much!

LOVE a good blackwater scape. Nice video and great knowledge as always!

I've mainly watched out of entertainment vs being into the hobby, love your work, but this is the first time I'm like ok.. I think I might need to get into fish. Blackwater tanks are so beautiful. Hellboy looks amazing in his new home! :)

The way Hellboy came out of that pod was the cutest! Love the green botanicals mixed in a little. Another great build!

Yes, I loved that moment too! Hellboy looks so at home in this tank.

API prducts rock! A little goes a long way. MD this build is awesome. I learned so much.

Awsome Betta. The tank setup is perfection for this beautiful fish.

Hey mate, just starting my first 40 gallon tank and was wanting to know your best instructional video for your cycle. I know you address it a lot, though I was wondering if you had an in-depth video. Only bloke on the Tube I trust for my content advice ❤️

love the look of the tank

This is so different texture-wise, it's great.

I aspire to have this for my betta, such a beautiful tank well done!

Good to see you trying some new ideas!

Thank you SO MUCH for the introduction to the botanicals. I had no idea such variety existed. Hats off to Maidenhead Aquatics as well - I'm tempted to make a pilgrimage across the pond just to visit.

I wish channels like this were around back when I was serious about keeping fish. A friend got me into the hobby but watching your videos showed me just how little he really knew. Now I live so far away from an actual fish/aquarium store it would take me 4 hours round trip to get to the nearest store. Not sure I could do it successfully by mail/online now though.

I like the fish release part of all your aquascape videos

It's gorgeous 😍 I love it!!!!!💜💜💜 job well done!!💜💜💜

Planning to do something like this really nice for inspiration

I love that Hellboy turned the pod into his own little home. lol I could watch this for hours and hours and never get bored. 💚

What a lovely tank! I love the colors

It’s great to see Hellboy! I have a betta that lived alone for over a year, and when I put him in a slightly larger tank, I gave him half a dozen neon tetras to live with and it’s gone swimmingly

I've never been interested in black water or betta tanks, but, I am loving this.

It's amazing how this guy can do so many things with just one hand...

It’s always a class to watch your videos

woo. Thursday night 30 mins of md

I love the look of black water natural tanks!

Love the scape...love api products...love this hobby

Best betta tank yet! I'm tempted to rescape my 5 gallon now🙃

I really liked this build its amazing

The cinematic ending is Ace. Love it!

Another banger MD always upping the content and build's

Im treating this as a birthday present and a video make specifically for me. I requested a short finned Betta tank, and ive got one. What a stunning fish too.

You're a magician! Looks so good

WOW. Gorgeous !

Perfect little tank.

Good day MD love your videos I got two tanks I work all the time coz of you and how awesome your tanks are!!!

I always like your low tech setup video because it's amazing

Damn! Just damn!! This tank is beautiful 💯💯💯🔥

you are a great tank artist. thankyou for this fantastic vlog

Here ya go, two thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!

Great as usual... the cinnamon stick in the aquarium is a new one for me😀

Awesome fish and the tank is amazing. Thumbs up.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

Супер! Ты создаёшь красоту!!!!!

the setup reminds me of like a big tree in a calming forest. might have to get some botanicals!

Very nice job! :D I like the natural look and its even Low Tech! Deff gonna try this one and put it against my hightech one.

I set up a blackwater betta tank today too! What a coinkydink! Yours looks better than mine :-D

Just having time to sit down and watch this after work. Loving this style! Can't wait to do a larger one 😜

Love this!

This is lovely, quite similar to my set up for my female koi betta. Re male bettas and other fish - any crowntail or similar is safe to house with other species. They can't swim fast enough to threaten anything! I'm more careful with Plakat, those guys can move!

Beautiful!

As always fantastic

Catappa bark pieces would look really good in there also!

Beautiful scape

WoW! 🔥 Your eye keeps WoW-ing my visuals and my soul drools to do one because this one is magnificent! I admit I would stop adding things so early in your builds yet as you keep adding more, it seems simplified vs over done. BRAVO! & geepers...yet another tank idea I hope to try one day, soon. Thank you, MD! "WoW!'✌🏼🙏🏼🖖🏼🧜🏻‍♀️🐠🐾💖

Beautiful

The big driftwood looks like an elephant in the fishtank nice job md keep up the good work

Brilliant!

Absolute awesome

I love that you named him hellboy lol that’s one of my favourite betta colour variation (next to samurai) I have a female hellboy and she’s a big goofball.

love it

my beta is in with some corys and amano shrimp and a yellow bristlenose, they all get on great
