Hi MD, planted shrimp tanks look awsome👏. Keeping sponge filters in shrimp tanks is recomended, because young ones dine on it. I woud also advise to replace/remove weight from the filters feet, its usually made from iron and it happens to be not comepleatly sealed in plastic case. Other thing is that cascade filters(kind of hob) are less efective (less volume), so i would avoid those.
I LIKE IT A LOT!!!! 🤣

It is really impressive how often you upload new content and how much effort you put in every single video! I already get annoyed when one plant in my tank floats to the top and I have to get my hands wet to replant it and you just casually shift 12 fully planted tanks so the new rack doesnt block any view. Admirable!

@MD the trick with the food is to get bigger shrimp food so they can't take it out of the dish and will stick all together eating at the same time like a swarm
to be honest i wait every day for you to post and get a glimpse of Asian peninsula tank . Absolutely love that tank.

What an underrated comment you have me dying over here 😂🤣😅
Good video. If I could make a suggestion... Please consider putting a net or cover over the drain of the sink if you're going to unbag fish like that into the net. If a fish jumps out while you're doing that they'll go right down the drain. I just had a fish jump as I was pouring into the net and luckily it was on my table so I could easily get it. I'd hate for one of your fish to go down the sink drain.
I saw this vid on my recomended while looking for a rack for my leopard geckos that has a 24 inch depth. I looked in this vids description and saw a link for a rack and instantly clicked. I thank you for this. This will help me to organize my geckos better!
I used to have tanks when I was a kid, fast forward, I just set up an aquarium thanks to your videos! Feels good to be hooked again!
Definitely the right decision to move the rack’s! Some hanging plants in the corner would look good, like scindapsus Pictuas or pothos or philodendron Brazil or philodendron Micans. I know fish are your thing but all plants make everything look better. I don’t know what the light is like in that room, but the ficus benjamina you have next to your rocks might need more light 💡 but will love all that humidity from the fish tanks. 🌿🌿🌿🌿👍💚
One of the best channels on line!! for more then 13 years I was a 100% saltwater aquarist! Now three tanks after watching one of your blogs I was hooked! Thanks for inspiring!!
Not only do I suffer from MTS personally... Okay now it's a case of I can't quit watching MDMTS (MD's Multiple Tank Syndrome!!)😍🌿🐟🤣It is looking amazing... very classy. I agree with you what you did with the corner with your Cube tanks. I probably would have to put some kind of plant in that corner 😁 can't waste that space! I'm glad that you and I share talent with zip ties 🤣🤣 better than duct tape any day 🤣🤣 Now surely you're going to put up a camera system, because how can you sit in one room and think about looking at the other one? 🤣🤣... Oh the struggle is real🤣 As always I really enjoyed the video maybe you can call it the "MD Aquarium" and people can come from all over the world just to see your fish and aquascapes! I know I certainly would! For now, thank goodness for front row seats is pretty good!! Have a great weekend MD and thank you for sharing!🙏🌿🐟🌿✌️
Those tank moves were nail biting
Your Vlogs are AMAZING!! I love your energy, humor & special effects w/the magical 'Snap of the Fingers' task completions. :) I'm waiting anxiously for my new Waterbox 20 nano to arrive so I can get started w/my Celestial Pearl Danios scape!!
Wow MD is a really busy man! I feel like we JUST learned about the new studio and look at it being almost already done 😅 great work mate!
Mate that pearlweed farm is looking insane! So happy the way you're hard work is paying off dividends now! This is among the best aquatic youtube content IMO, you got me back into the hobby after 15 years away (and working for an aquatic shop) keep it up!
I'm a big fan of under gravel filters, but absolutely love your tanks! They look fantastic and especially love the "neat" and tidy look of the whole place. So many others have a fish room (basement or garage) that look scattered and unorganized, which takes away from the peaceful nature of keeping tanks and fish and shrimp (in your case). Keep posting and I'll keep watching.
Who cares if your plants are free or if you pay for them? That is no ones concern but your own! Just by watching these videos we are helping to pay for your hobby and we benefit from the knowledge and expertise. Rock on and keep doing what you do, let those haters hate. We (the majority of viewers) love watching you because you are fun and down to earth and bring content that we connect with!
you should look into getting apistogramma, they're a dwarf cichlid
I love the shrimp tanks!
It's good that you're sorting it all out in the beginning, as a designer in an antique store, I know that making and viewing a video helps with the esthetics in the arrangement, you can see in each vignette where it needs to be tweeked...it helps the eye see it in perspective...awesome job...!
I am super happy you took my advice and got some nano fish... chilli rasboras :) :)
Thanks soo soo much for moving all those racks. If be bugged everytime I'd watch a video haha
I couldn't resist after your videos and bought blue shrimps and almond leaves this morning. Will try a shrimp tank. I have an aquarium full of najas plant, i hope they'll like it.
The way I clicked soo fast when I saw this. Hahahaha Loving those nano tanks MD 👏😍
Loving all the quirky edits MD! Loving the tanks always!!
Fantastic video! I found myself mesmerized throughout the whole thing! You are my absolute favorite "Vlogger"!
While bettas sororities can work(I’ve seen maybe one in ten actually work), I don’t recommend trying it as it can be very stressful for the fish and the keeper.
Thank you for making our dark days brighter! I only dream of having the tanks you have mate, and keep adding in the memes, theyre fantastic - and those who don't like it can just deal with it :)
Wheels! I love them under my aquarium stands (shelving, cabinets, etc...). Then you can easily move the aqquarium(s) for maintenance or if you want to move the whole thing somewhere else without the huge work of draining or unhooking equipment. And let's face it, some of us are always having new great ideas 😜

Putting them on wheels can take away a lot of the load/weight bearing capacity though. I just ordered a new metal shelf for tanks. With wheels it has a 250lb per shelf capacity. Without wheels it has a 1000lb per shelf weight capacity. So you have to be super careful when using wheels for aquarium stands/racks.
Been watching for a wee bit and these racks, I just love them. Shrimp are just facinating. Thanks for keeping the vids coming MD!
If you’re planning on doing a sorority the cubes are too small for females to establish territory and too small to the adequate number of females for them to establish a hierarchy and disperse the aggression. The large cube in the corner would be more appropriate

I’m just getting into whatever you would call this hobby and I find it so interesting how much I don’t know. I’ve been binge watching so many of these videos learning about tanks, plants, fish etc and I can’t wait to start. Looking forward to one day being as knowledgeable as yourself.
Looking great! I recommend keeping a card handy for each tank with the plant list for each one! So many new plants, and you know we are going to ask. All the time. And you are going to want to know which ones are doing well....I do it for my garden (or at least keep all labels in an envelope)
Those snapping transitions are so cool to see!! I love that mixed in with the timelapses
I was so inspired by your aquascaping that I gave it a shot. Very happy with how it turned out! Thank you!!!!!
Hey MD, I've been watching your videos for about a week and you've inspired me to start up my first planted tank! I picked up all the stuff today and I'm giving it a go.....Wish me luck!!!
You are a huge inspiration to me, just ordered my first rack! Hope my channel can grow in your footsteps! Thank you so much! Much love ✌️
Would you consider letting your boys design their own tank(s)? Let them pick out the stones, plants, decorations and everything? I reckon it would be great for them to learn firsthand the difference between fake and real plants. You could do 2 nano tanks side by side, no fish, just to show them the pro's and con's of each. It would be awesome for other kids watching to see as well.
I agree much more cohesive. Better idea saw the problem when you said you were putting in another rack, I had faith in you. Great watching thx
this chanell is growing at extreme speeds, i can guarantee you will hit 500k but remember your og's :)
The work you put into your videos and fish rooms is so impressive, love it.
Ooooo I love it when you start setting up new tanks - means more scapes to watch! Could you make a video eventually showing us your maintenance routine? I have 5 tanks and it gets chaotic doing water changes and staying on schedule. I can only imagine how it it is with all the tanks you have!
I've been binge watching your channel for the last week. You got me so excited to get back in to the hobby.
MD out here feeding us with so many uploads!! Love your videos, man, they made the hobby feel so much more accessable to me when I was starting out :)

good job MD really like your videos ,you are so patient and neat with your hobby, moving the rack was a good idea man,keep up the good work!
You should add a big tank down the centre of room 2. Would look awesome
That looks epic! 🐟
Love the energy
Md all you need is a fish store together with aquascaping materials and equipment
Love your channel. I got a 20 long the other day that I'm cycling. Your scapes inspire me!
I love all of your videos. And your kids they’re so enjoy your hobby as well.
I am losing my mind at the thought of a sorority. I'm so happy.
"I like it so much that I want MORE" MD speaking the thoughts of everyone else in the hobby lol
Well done Dude! Shrimp tanks are awesome, I need that tiny plate too to prevent my substrate soil gets dirty, last time I fought with Hydra in my shrimp tank and it was not easy!
I don t know how you do with all these videos ! Congrats MD 😁
Bro really I am getting addicted to your videos
Thank you for the daily upload!
Try Bumblebee goobi, it's a fun Nano fish to keep!

Yes finally chilli rasboras awesome
Thank you for sharing your energy, enthusiasm and fun. I imagine it keeps people positive and in the hobby. :-)

Just love u to the moon and back😍😍😍
Love that!!!!!!
thankyou for moving that new rack it started to piss me off that it was overlapping my ocd kicked in thankyou again
Brillant !
You should try a black water aquarium. Theyre super pretty and the color of the fish pop in it. All up to you though.
CHILIS!!!! You got CHILIs!!!! I have been waiting for the local stores toget more in stock so I can add them to the shrimp tank! So jealous! Not fair!!!! ;)
Sounds interesting!

MD, now you need another tall plant to go in the corner between the shrimp tank's shelf and your new shelf. A nice tall green plant would look great in that corner between those shelves.
Now I want more shrimp tanks. Keep it up 👍 md
My Friday is now complete 👌🏽
The shrimp go nuts for the carrots.
Dude, you have a serious addiction. Thankfully, it’s a productive one!
