I think you definitely should make that bigger tank a natural looking low tech tank. It would fit perfect right there. Since the red smaller tank is already in that area. I would do the bigger red tank in that empty one on the other side of the room. So kind of weighs it out. I can’t wait to see them!!

You are so right i miss them too.

I'd love to see a scape where you create a sort of exposed root tree stump. Like the substrate in a river has slowly washed away from a tree stump to expose its roots and it becomes a shelter/cave where fish like to hide and swim through.

I'd like to see a series where you go to someone's house who wants a setup like yours and you do it all😊

Proper nature style!!. Do the full on red in the one to the left of the room.

I'd be interested to see you do a a full on high tech set up, ADA lighting, ADA power sand, Tropica soil, compressed CO2 etc. Maybe even set up an identical setup using DIY CO2 and a lower budget substrate as a comparrison, maintenence time, growth, algea. Could make a good series.

This is my favorite channel right now. I absolutely love learning from you, and you have so many amazing tanks and fish. Thank you for putting in all the work that you do, and I’m looking forward to all your future videos! 🐠

Your videos are so great !! thx for sharing, I've been following you seen 2 years and you still make beautiful aquariums and content. Also, thanks for your transparency about everything and sometimes problems with your fishes. :) Have a great day Matt

I really love the difference in scapes and looks of the new fish tanks. Really nice MD. Keep it up! I really enjoying all off you're content, especially the video's with Matt. Speaking off: When are you guys going to the Amazone?😛

Thanks for the inside look and keeping us in the loop. Been loving your red tanks but it's been so long since you've done a classic MD nature scape!

First of all, I just want tell you how incredibly talented you are!! I watch all of your aquascape builds and you never cease to amaze me! I hope to one day start aquascaping, and you will definitely be my inspiration! I would love to see you build another red one! Stunning!

Hi MD, my vote is for the red. But your best videos are the ones where you're most inspired and excited about your project. I also enjoy your style--it's not too technical but it makes sense, and looks great! Cheers

Love these kind of update videos interspersed between your build vidoes :) Lovely to see how the critters are doing.

I think you should do the classic tank in the center and the red off to the side. I think the setup with the classic will look better between the 2 green tanks. I love the red ones so much and definitely look forward to that one too but I just feel the tanks you see when first walking in would look better without another red one right there.

Perfect way to start my day! Love the videos so much. I would love to see a video on how you trim your tanks and keep them looking so great. I love watching your videos and how excited you get for all of it. ❤️🐠🌱

It would be awesome to see a natural 4 foot aquarium! Helps balance out the other tanks next to it for sure. Great video as always!❤

Go with the 4ft low tech nature aquarium! A little retro throw back in the new studio would be super cool. Keep up the great content MD

In the US the number means how much light comes in when it comes to tint, like 20% is legal on vehicle windows, but 5% is not because its too dark

YES! We have made it that far MD and where still watching 😂 don't mind the haters on the forums. It's never ending... everyone's an " expert " nowadays

I would love to see what a saltwater tank with corals made by you would look like tbh. Could get really creative with decorative rocks and corals and anemonies and have clownfish and small crabs and such

Wow I’m the first one 😮 cool. Loving the new merch. Definitely minimal set up with a sand foreground, not all reds. I remember your scapes in the shed and they were awesome, but it would be even better now with how you’ve developed the system of substrate you use. Looking forward to all the new content

This type of content is soooo good in the studio even though you did not build a tank the video was still so entertaining seeing the setups

this guy needs higher recognition. he is like the best aquascaper i have ever seen!

You are my favorite youtuber, i get so excited when i see you post. I would like to see you do the nature style aquarium in the 4 foot!

I like the nature aquarium concept . Most of my fish are pond fish so I tend to decorate to mimic where they came from . Rocks , branches , logs , leaves and so on . Happy fish make for better viewing.

I'm loving all the tanks! Thanks for the great content.

Love the new videos. I'm gonna have to vote for a red tank in the 4ft. But whatever you decide will come out amazing. Keep it up man, great tanks, healthy fish and amazing content.

4 foot red aquarium would be awesome! I think a really hardscape heavy tank would be a cool idea. Like a proper mountain scape with lots of moss is a big contrast to your other tanks

You are such an inspiration. Love your studio. Big fan from South Africa.

Another great video MD. I’d like to see you create a local nature style aquarium full of sticklebacks.

Great video, as always ! Love the new crocs & hoodie. I always cut the strings outta my hoodies too ! 😁❤

As usual , you are really amazing.Keep up the hood work man.

MD your fish tanks are awesome. I've been following your channel for 6 months and I love it. Its quite educational along with being beautiful art. I was wondering if you plan on ever doing an Oscar/larger Cichlid type of tank or more saltwater? Thanks again for everything and keep it going!

Super video. Been a while since I’ve watched any of your stuff.your place is awesome

The black window tint looks a lot cleaner! I think a red tank with all black fish would look awesome, but that is more dramatic and I like the drama look.

I love watching you do a low tech/ no tech tank!

This is my new favorite channel! I've always wanted to do an aquascape!

Another classic nature aquarium would be great. Thanks for all the amazing content

Luv the new merch & all the tanks look so great. Luv the betta tank.❤🐟🐠

IDEA Do a half red half green aquarium Like with a rock separating the two sections Love these update videos

I know that you're very comfortable doing freshwater tanks, but I'd love to see you challenge yourself and try out doing a saltwater reef tank. I have severe anxiety & used that as a reason not to keep fish before I came across your channel, but now I know I can do it, I want my fish teacher to hold my hand and make mistakes and learn with me. 😅❤ all the love in the world & I understand if saltwater just isn't your vibe.

Those aquariums looks soooo good! I’m torn, because 4ft red only aquarium would look so great after the two you have done previously, but on a larger scale. But also pretty nature style would be a bomb also. I must say I miss little Timmy! Hope he’ll have his moment soon ! Keep up with great work MD!

I vote on classic natural tank. Love the low tech, it shows everyone you can have simplicity and still a beautiful tank 💖 Thank you for the beta tank update. It's just so neat how you've created a beautiful beta eco system that seems to be working. Can't wait for future builds!

I love this channel so much, MD you do so well. Just as an idea, have you thought about a waterfall type tank with half filled tank and terrestrial plants taking up the bulk of the top of the tank? Sort of riparium style, would love to see how you would do that.

Hey MD, absolutely loving the new studio! I say go for the classic nature style aquarium for your next 4ft build! The red aquarium is different and stands out, but too many red aquariums may lose the interest where as one out of an entire studio will always pull you in closer

Loving the new video and studio. Looks great. Keeping the 4ft nxt to the betta's as a classic nature aquarium as it will have cool contrast to stand out from the 2 beside it

I would say you'd put the nature style tank in the main area, since that area gets more viewtime while you're making the other new set ups. Though a 4-foot red tank also gives a good pop in the videos as background view. I do think the nature style tank deserves lots of screen time tho!

Brilliant videos and can't wait for the black molly setup in the future🙏

I think RED aquarium in the centre could look amazing. Would love to see an Amazon tank in the left tank. Sort of murky, full of leaves and twigs. Loved your previous Amazon one!

As usual, this was fun! Thanks...

First of all, great video. Second, i think you should do the nature set up in the 4', but do a red set up in the other 4' on the side wall of the shop. Keep'em coming MD, and thanks for the wonderful videos.

Love the new merch I have a fully grown boesmani male and I named him boss when I got him years ago, new merch is a must grab

I follow a few different KZread fish channels and you are the only one that's had content on a regular basis. I am so grateful for that. Thanks, @MDFishTanks! I love the idea of the "nature tank" for that big one towards end of this video. Then a question - have you thought about some sort of retractable blinds over your windows? That would give you complete control of your studio lighting. MTC Thanks Pal!

WOW! that made such a difference. NICE

A massive red tank would look so cool! Especially with a ton of Alternanthera Reineckii Mini kept short as a carpet

4 ft red aquarium with an hardscape goes to the other side. So that the 2 tanks "connect" Great video MD With love from the netherlands

If you have fish shop matt saying it's okay, it's okay 😅 thanks for giving me the energy again to start a new tank, much love.

The red aquarium looks very cool. However my personal preference for that empty tank would be a natural theme. The big tank that you and Matt did at Maidenhead is very cool looking. Maybe an Iwagumi style full of those snow white guppies. Do what you like man. Whatever makes you happy. 👍

You got me to make a bowl that has done beautifully and clients at the vet I work at love looking at the shrimp and snails. I vote angelfish next to the red, and a giant red on the side.

Nature style low tech for me all day ;-) Great vid as always, keep it up.

I vote for a 4 foot nature aquarium setup. I do love the reds, but greens have always been my favorite. Thanks for the updates, everything is looking amazing! Don't worry about the nay-sayers on the sorority Betta tank. Your tank is living proof that it works! And that tank looks spectacular! I think your way of setting up a tank, heavily planted as you do, is one of the keys to your success. What do you think? Anyway, thank you again. Love all your tanks, and videos. Oh, and the black out on the windows does help a lot!

I truly hope you get to use some of your time to just sit back and take in all of the beauty you have created. 😊

My favorite tank you've ever done is probably the Platy Mountain, would love to see something like that again.

Love the videos as usual, keep em coming! I dont know about you MD, but wouldn't it be cool with a loooong shallow, minimalistic pea puffer tank?! Muah!

The beat at the end of the video 🔥🔥🔥

Hey for the new tank, you could try a combo of the red and standard maybe. For example, have an area in the middle with white sand and red plants, then have dark driftwood cutting it off on either side, making it into a sort of 'cove' area. Then do a load of greens and hardscape on the sides. I think that would be amazing!

Yes the old angelfish tank back in the shed was sooo good!!

Opinion on what to do with the 4ft tank… I vote an Amano NA inspired tank. Moss on woods, retaining stone with height at the back, and lower sand up front. It would be a cool reminder of the origins of these beautiful modern rimless tanks and contrast the others to show the diversity you’ve been able to achieve.

Great video! I think you should have the one in front of the mirror be red, and the one to the left could be your nature style. Either way, I always enjoy watching!

great video as usual I have been a subscriber way back when you started in the shed I do appreciate the quality of your videos yet the unsung hero is the audio quality a lot of youtubers don't put enough effort into audio so cheers. because of your content we now have 7 tanks from co2 hi tech to flood light sponge filter tanks p.s. for the 4 foot tank how about a 100% buce tank

What might be cool is if you set up two tanks identically (maybe mirroring one another?) but gave one co2 and not the other, to see how different they end up looking in a months time or so.

classic nature is my vote... love the videos.

Many thanks for your hard work on all the tanks, they all look great. I would like to see a red tank but with a couple of green plants popping thought the red forest. Kinda a reverse of the Betta tank where it is mostly green with a few red plants poking out of the greens.

Love your new set up

I love the red tanks, and in between two greens would be awesome!
