Your channel and Tanner Serpa's were the first to introduce me to aquariums, and now, I wouldn't think to do it any other way than you do (low maintenance). The red betta tank was my absolute favorite when you released it, I thought it was so jaw-dropping seeing all the red plants. I want to challenge you to use only the red, brownish red, and greenish red, for the rescape! No green carpet! The vibrancy of the red root floaters at the top it really stands out, which is always a must! Also, just curious if either Hellboy or the Titanium White Betta could be added to the 60 betta tank, or rather why that wouldn't be a good idea?

sorry to be a problem voice, but as the subject of Kate has come up, i must admit i"m feeling a bit uncomfortable about the way you talk about her helping you, but then "bailing." you seem like such a nice man; hopefully you are being fair about the division of labor you and Kate share as a couple. chalk my concerns up to having had more than 75 years experience--not all good-- as a human female

@@judithchiasson8554 The "bailing" jest is VERY clearly just that...a jest. Their "division of labor" is really nobody's business but theirs, and definitely not something that needed to be addressed here.

Nice tour. I like how you are not just filling up the studio with tanks to fill space but are adding tanks as you come up with your ideas.

As a long-time viewer -- from your shed days! -- the first thing that came to mind as I watched this video is how well organized your new studio is !!! I'm sure Kate has something to do with this, so a big shout out to Kate! Well done. Keep up the great work!

Aghh MD , let me start off by saying that I've watched every video you've posted in the past year and a half but this is I reckon the second time I'm actually commenting on a vid . Firstly your videos are a source of relaxation for my mind and eyes whenever I'm a bit tensed and have my head aching cause of studies ( I'm a student by the way ) . Secondly , there's no other content creator that I know of that does the same ( period ) . Thirdly , the sheer amount of driftwood and hardscape you have on hand as stash for future builds equals out to the amount of hardscape 4 to 5 fish shops in and around my home does . Last but not least - keep pumping out videos as long as you can for I ( and we ) absolutely love it to the core and I too wish to have a smaller studio ( Kinda of the same size of one of the rooms of the previous two studious of yours that's now sat empty ) . Cheers , looking forward to the upcoming builds in the new studio .

The studio looks wonderful… kudos to you, MD 👌 I am so excited for the new scapes 😊😊😊 Shout out to camera shy Kate 😘😘😘

The dark leaf indoor potted plant u first showed is a rubber tree plant. Do a weekly check of them but only water them if soil is dry as u can over water them and kill them and cause roots to rot. U can do it! I love how organised your new studio is! Well done to Kate!

Seeing how far you've come from the first shed you started to the upgraded larger shed etc etc is unbelievable. You helped me through lockdown and taught me so much about keeping planted tanks. Wishing you many more years of success

I'm really proud and happy about our yes our new studio.. Great job in getting things done. The plants will thrive the light is spot on that was a rubber tree with the thick leaves just remember not to leave water in the bottom of your pots and don't over water all of them in soil need to dry out between watering .I have 189 plants and love them and fish tanks. Your doing awesome love everything.

I remember how excited you were moving into that first studio, it served you well.

Man, we got the news that my mom is officially terminal today, and I just want to thank you for your videos. I have a lot of anxiety and stress in my life right now, and these videos always give me a safe space of peace where I can escape from my life for a moment. I wish every good fortune for you and the future of your channel.

@MD Fish Tanks 😂😂 My Postman thinks I am Hobbit because I am always popping up from down in the basement! He has never once asked to see my fish dungeon..... lol. You have to do an open day sometime MD, it would be EPIC!!

Thank you, Kate, for keeping the house plants alive🤣🌱😎. Just kidding MD🥰🇺🇸 Love the studio!❤

That middle table would be great as a scapers table - a place where you can model hardscape for tanks and glue etc... before you do the installation. Would be a cool video to see you play with different layouts without having to go in and out of the glass tank.

That neon and beta tank is absolutely stunning , I could watch it for hours and hours on end

This is an aquarist's fantasy😍 Well done! If you ever do a meet & greet, I may have to fly out to the UK lol

MD! Me and my wife have been loving your videos and have never owned shrimp before. 2 tanks and $500 later we are setting them up for a couple more weeks to hopefully get our shrimp! Great videos and thank you!

That peace lily on the top shelf near the front of the studio might be happier a bit further away from the window. They love light, but too much direct sunlight burns the leaves 😊 also - loving this new place! I liked the old place but this one is just wow 😍

Can you do a video on how you layout where tanks are (structural considerations), the types of stands & racks you use, and general considerations for keeping that much heavy water in your space?

Luck man, amazing space to carry out loads of tank set ups. My late uncle George got me into fish keeping way back when I was a young lad. Enjoy your sessions.

I could probably spend hours looking at those tanks! I’m glad you’ve made it how you want it. People will always have their opinions though won’t they? 😂

I love watching someone who loves what they do so much. My current apartment doesn't allow any pets in tanks or anything for some reason, but I'm about to move in to my first house and I'm hoping to build a nice planted tank. I've been watching you do it for so long that I just want one of my own now.

Exciting ! Good luck.

I just want to say thanks for being a constant source of inspiration for aquascaping. Sometimes things go wrong and I think of giving up. But seeing the things you do with a bunch of rocks, wood, and plants makes me want to continue. You are a true artist and hope someday I get to your level

🔴A quick tip🔴 The 2 suffering plants need more sunlight, so move them next to the door, and they will be fine, as the rule say thin leave more light wider leave less light indoors plant hack. You're welcome🌹

I just broke down my first planted tank and re built it. I can see how it becomes addictive. I'm excited for the next builds!

You got a good wife who really support you. Congrats 🎉

Absolutely 💯 LOVE your beautiful wife! Kate has done a marvelous job organizing and decorating the studio, it looks amazing! Thank you for all your great videos, love the new studio and please give your dear Kate a raise!!! 😁

Could probably host a planted tank master class in this studio. Looking great 👍

Curious question.. Does anyone else have as nice a setup/KZread channel ? Very much enjoy this channel, just wondering if there's any others. This pretty much takes the cake from what I've seen. 👏👍👌

Hey MD! 7:45 is definitely a big female at the back and male at the front. Also a female on buce leaf at the top. I'm sure they are going to breed soon! Shrimp normally take a couple of months to settle in a new tank and start breeding.

I was looking for it.

Absolutely fabulous studio setup. The little glass bowls behind your desk would be a great spot for some succulents. Anyway stay safe and your water clean

I love your space! Also, you have to think about education stuff in the studio. maybe for kids who want to see in person, or want to learn how to take care of tanks first. Maybe for adult, but your space just screaming "more peoples, more activities". And that huge table perfect for project to set up small tanks for kids(or adults). Love your videos!

Congrats, MD, been with you since the tiny shed an around 30k subs. Much deserved, I believe.

Congrats on your complete studio! Love the sorority tank. Yes, my betta will eat the algae tab too. They have a neverending appetite. The rainbow tank is awesome. Thank you for sharing your progress with us.

Thanks so much MD, for the studio update. Nice to see you've finally gotten completely moved in. A monumental task I'm sure! The new studio is shaping up so nicely! I agree, don't rush through the process. Take your time and enjoy every minute of it! Kate is doing a wonderful job of keeping you organized..hehehe. Good job Kate! Behind every great man, is an even greater woman! ;-) ;-)

I think I started following you just after you moved out of the shed. Its been great to see how far you've come along and I've learned loads from you! appreciate it

I had an idea MD, do a comp with your English viewers to come in and scape a tank with you and Matt as a learning tool and you could do one every so often 😀

The tree with the big rubbery leaves is called a rubber tree. Also, fish poo is one of the best natural fertilizers ever.

The no filter aquariums are fantastic. I love it!

Platinum halfbeaks would look sweet in the red tank, theyre live bearers to and should breed well in your water. The fry are extra cute

Didn't envy you all that work moving, but definitely worth it!!

congratulations for new studio set up. u and kate are very creative and organized for all this arrangements .its stunning

Congratulations to you, nice place. I bet your misses never expected fish would be a full time job for you!

Absolutely love your new studio super jealous your plants look fantastic for some added colour I would suggest that you get some Phalaenopsis orchids they love ambient light and are quite a stunning flower they can also be grown in water I think that was what Matt put in the slanted tank at the shop. Love your work keep the videos coming.

Anyone else get a little sad at the old studio farewell? Absolutely amazing new one though!!

The frosting on the glass entrance was a real good choice, still all the light but no algae exlosion! 👌

The undercover star of the rainbow tank is that amazingly patterned big stone visible on the 'back' side. Congrats on the studio--really came together!

MD I watch all of your videos!!!! About to watch this one and I love them all!! I just want to say thank you for helping me when I was getting into this hobby and providing content that I can always learn from and enjoy!! Thank you MD!!!

"... AND THE LORDS OF THE UNDERWORLD!" Loving the new studio, thanks for everything MD!

Absolutely stunning studio and it's only going to get better in time. Must be awsome waking up and knowing your going into your workplace and enjoy it. Keep up the awsome videos MD great job and thankyou for sharing your skills time and knowledge with us.

That was a lot of work to empty the two old studios. Congratulations on the New Studio, very nice space. Take care, be well

Congrats man,really a bucket list to be able one day go to your studio and have one moment looking at all the scapes,damn its so beautiful

It's been great watching the growth of this channel from you home, shed, the two studios and now this!! Best of everything for you and your channel in 2023!

I think if you put an 8-10ft tank in place of the massive desk it would create not only an amazing centre piece for your studio but a perfect way to breakup the studio from one end to the other!

Watching the progress from the Shed, to your new Studio is very inspiring! Well deserved!

Congratulations 👏 on the studio I look forward to your content every week maybe a live stream with you Matt ??? In the new studio any enjoy it you deserve the success

I actually tried putting my long finned guppy dudes in with my betta. He's like 5% aggressive: flares, will give chase for 2 seconds, and then gives up. All bark, no bite. He was hella mad when I put them in but I watched for hours to make sure, and once he realized they wouldn't fight him, he accepted them. He's in a 29G tank and tons of green neons and other random misfits who didn't fold into the 55, but they all live together great. He's the boss, but he's not rude about it. :) The guppies learned quick to just not get in front of him and he's chill. Lots of plants, too. Definitely the temperament of the betta matters, but all but one of my males (out of dozens) was perfectly fine with any and all other fish except other bettas.

Beautiful setup. The only thing I didn’t see that is a must is a fire extinguisher.

Water bridge connecting the 4 foots would be crazy

So happy for you MD!!! Can’t wait to keep learning from you 🎉

Man, I used to have two fish tanks from age 4 to 12, and watching your videos really makes me want to get one or two again. If I didn't have to move every couple years due to job requirements, I'd pull the trigger for sure.

Starting bingeing your videos like crazy recently, but I'm so glad you're doing well enough to get a new studio!

Awesome tour brother, thank you for taking us along with you on the journey. Very proud. Can't wait to see the new builds. God bless

Congrats man! New chapter for MD and I’m looking forward to seeing how you outgrow this studio 😅

After what must have been a move that would have exhausted and maybe even burned out most people, you appear on screen full of energy and enthusiasm. Keep being you! and Thanks!

MD, Please make a detailed video on easy stem plants like Polysperma, Ludwigia, Rotala on handling, care, propagation, fast growth methods & everything about them with some samples.

It’s delightful MD, I’m so happy for you!

I’ve loved watching you evolve through all of your fish rooms. This one has to be the ultimate fish keepers dream room! Love love love it well done on your evolution and taking us on the journey x ❤️🇦🇺

So glad to see that you are moving on to great things. Stumbled upon your channel accidentally a year and a half ago and I have stayed after the first video I watched. You even inspired me to get my own tank and now I have 2 large tanks. A simply scaped 4x2ft for my 3 fancy goldfish and a 4x3ft planted tank for my community fish. I have 3 acaras, 2 plecos, 7 albino black widows, 4 opaline gouramis and 4 rosy barbs, 5 apple snails and some rabbit snails. It has brought me so much joy and I wouldn't have know this if it wasn't for you so thank you ❤️ I've enjoyed my tank for a year now and here's to many more x

LOVE the opening scene. Room looked fresh and dynamic while you were in there and now it looks like it's been abandoned for a bit. The florescent ceiling light shorting👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 excited for the rest of the vid

Brilliant! I envy your youthful energy. And space!

Plant tip: use the fish tank water to water the plants, its free fertilizer +they will love it. also be careful with your watering schedule not all plants like their roots constantly moist

It's an automatic thumbs up everytime you stick in that Southpark clip

I love how you used your extra driftwood as decoration in the shelves above the tanks. It’s looking so amazing!

How far you've come from the shed in your backyard. What a ride. Congrats!

Spectacular!!! Amazing to see this new 'finished' space! Congrats!

The only thing greener than your plants is my envy 😂😂😂 Nah... joking... I love my 3 tanks. You have worked so hard to get where you are now, and you deserve all the credit for it... All I want to say is a huge 'thank you' for sharing this journey, and I look forward to seeing where you go with it next...

Very clean, bright and organized, very nice.

Fantastic to see the new studio in all its glory

when my betta was in a community tank he always ate algae wafers, he was a good fish!

Hi MD! I love your videos, they are so beautiful and calming for me when I'm stressed out or having bad days. One day I strive to build my own naturalistic aquariums like yours! You are such an amazing person and inspire me to never give up on my dreams!

Looking fantastic. This is so exciting. Can't wait for the next build.

I'm really happy to have found you early in your KZread foray, even more happy that I've never missed an episode of your journey. I am really excited to see what's to come. But let's be clear; while I truly enjoy each and every build, the real strength and appeal of your channel is you. Your good humor, numerous quirks, your love of plants, your feeling of responsibility toward your pets, your sadness at their loss, and most importantly, your incredible creativity. If I ever had any doubt about your authenticity, your friendship with Matt has put that to rest, you can't fake real friendship. Thank you for taking us along with you, your content is pure joy!
