I’ve decided I’m flying MD out to my house to build my next tank. An interior designer but for fish keeping ha, thanks in advance MD!

Because of you my wife and I have absolutely fallen in love with aqua scaping, we will have a center piece in our living room of our very first home soon, insperated by you! Thanks for everything you do in the teaching aspect.

I want to live in there! It's beautiful, the Electric Blues are amazing in there.

MD this one is my favorite. Master Gardener here. USA/ Illinois a Fabulous work. If you don't get " the bug" from this video. You never will. WELL DONE!!!!

Superb, superb superb ..wow ..👌🏻👌🏻🙌

I knew I shouldn’t have clicked on this, now I want those acara

Ohhhh yes!!! Here we go

You're correct about the Echinodoras Palifolius... the leaves will comfortably exceed 2 feet in height! and are quite comfortable out of water. I have the same plant - 2 foot focal specimen plant - in a shallow tank (the tank is only 7 inches high). The effect is quite striking. The rootstock is emmense: it has spread across the majority of the substate base, providing the energy throw up a new leaf every 3 weeks or so. It is a plant well suited to open-top aquariums... But the same plant is a total waste in a closed top aquarium: the leaves quickly shoot up into the hood and get dried out and scorched by the lights; all you see in the aquarium are a bunch of leaf stems and the occasional leaf, as it races for the surface... Plant one behind a specimen amazon sword in an open top aquarium and the result is impressive when the leaves emerge from the surface and power over the amazon sword!

Whoever edits your videos needs a raise!

Yo no entiendo absolutamente nada de lo que dices pero desde que descubrí tu canal no paro de verlo por que me encantan todos tus acuario y haces un trabajo espectacular. Felicidades🎉🎊

You are too much MD even after all of these scapes you are still producing even more and better scapes as time goes by, those acara are going to look amazing in that scape, MD you are the best.

I love how MD does his own thing! Beautiful tank and adorable puppies. My next tank, I wanna do MD's thing by doing my own thing!

Dude you are not making aquaspace , you are an artist. Thank you for great video

I have now fallen in love with these guys. I will be getting one.

You have outdone yourself once again with another magnificent scape! Can’t wait to see how it’s going to progress. ✌️ ❤️

IM SO IMPRESSED!!!! loved these fish since the day you got them and have been so excited waiting for this build video. Also there colours are really popping in this tank great job.

Love u MD ❤️ Love from India

Can literally see the excitement in you eyes when the Buddha tank is empty and ready. I’m currently waiting on an aquarium from Aquariums4life - nice people! The music is insanely epic - love it!! Awesome video!!!

I am new I really enjoy your videos your fish build are so creative

I can’t even get swords like that in Australia! Watching scaping videos from around the world just reminds me how over priced and poor quality the plants are that our suppliers pedal! Beautiful tank, very tranquil.

Gotta say, after finding you 3-4 months ago, you’ve definitely re started my enthusiasm for the hobby. Started my 1st “AQUASCAPE” 45 days ago. Gone through the diatom stage, now seeing the beauty of the habitat. Cheers pal👊

Beautifull tank for young Acaras. What i love about your setups is that you value the needs of your fish over aesthetics. What i found funny was that you had doubts about the moss cause it wasnt from that Area. But at that point you allready had 2 Asian Stemplants in, the Limnophila and the Hygrophila.😉👌 And Some websites claim that Christmass moss is found in Brasil. But others say its also Asian. So i dont know. 🤔 But very nice setup.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

yeah screw it. I think as long as the overall feel is right then all good.

I just bought an electric blue Acara today - and now this video shows up for me to watch. What a coincidence.

Please make a 45cm cube tank, Love from India❤️

Why i cant sleep without watching one of your videos its so calming and relaxing 🥰

Best tank yet. Absolutely brilliant mate

10/10 for this. The perfect blend, with it being lovely to look at for the viewer and great environment for the fish with just the right about of plants & hardscape along with plenty of swim space and places for them to explore and hide when they want to. Plus, those fish are so damn cute!

I'm a Brazilian fan who learns a lot from your videos! And wants more and more to have many, many beautiful aquariums like these. Congratulations

Tropica does such a great job with their plants.

I giggled when you said, "no adult should be this excited," lol!

Unlike other, he never tells watch till the end. But watching till the end is such a rewarding experience everytime.

OH YA 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I bet your fishies are the happier ones in all the hobby. 🤗

Amazing. You are a Aqua machine!!

Mesmerizing work... Really love it...

Just come on here confidently thinking I missed yday video hoping it was the blue accara vid, you weren't at the top of the homescreen, thought I'd type MD into search bar and what a surprise 31 seconds ago the vid is up 😂💪🏻👍🏼

Nice build, I like the fact that your slowly tip-toein' into new waters..., such as SA Dwarf Cichlids, African Lake Cichlids & So-On...& away from your comfort zone of common SA/CA/MEXICO Community Tropical Species (Platy, Molli, Guppy, Tetras & Cory/Pleco Catfishes) or that of Eastern Hemisphere which commonly your Asian/Asian Isles Tropical Community Species (Barbs, Rasboras, Betta & Gourami). Branching out to new, bigger & better less commonly bred or sold fishes will turn this channel up yet another notch.....Dare I Say Predator Community or Species tank(s) in your immediate future, Hope So!!! Now a days so many feed options that's it's almost pointless feeding live anymore, I'd say even less beneficial than readily available frozen/freeze dried options...in case live feedings were a deterant from going bigger via future builds...GDLK. LATA 🐊.

Yes the video is out . So excited to watch it. Amazing work MD. You are the best aqua scape builder in KZread

I have to say I was a bit upset that you tore down the Buddha tank but this one turned out absolutely stunning! I think the Acaras are really going to love their new home going forward. They really are smart fish. Hopefully they will learn to trust you again after the stress of being caught and moved.

I cancelled my schedule to see your video upload yesterday. There is 24 hours I'll never get back 😵

it's like Christmas came early watching this video and sharing the joy with MD of this build. Thanks for uploading this so quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Biggest fan here from philippines 😇 i hope you can read my post sir MD. I had two danios and red cherry shrimps. And i only use a plastic pond DIY in my tank. I hope you have a left over tank that you dont use. Christmas wish for this year. Is to have a simple glass set up for my shrimps and danios. I just dont have enough money to buy some aquatic stuff. Dont have a work yet currently studying in automotive. And when i go home. My plastic pond and fishes relaxes my mind. I hope you can read this sir MD. Keep safe to you and your family sir. Keep up your awesome videos. i can gain also knowledge to your vids. Godbless sir md.

It’s so beautiful 🤩 😍😍😍😍😍

Ah man MD, this one is very nice. I like the big plant idea and it worked out very well. God bless.

I always love seeing builds like this 😀 amazing work!

I can't wait for more EBA videos! I have a pair myself. Would love to know the best plants to put in mine as they continue to eat them all! 🤣 Doing a great job MD!

Oh this is going to be awesome to watch! I’ve waited and wanted to do something like this! Looks awesome MD 👌🏼

Those Acara will decide how they want that substrate arranged 😏

you have no idea how convenient and well timed this tank with these specific fish is for me. I’ve had a tank that i did a terrible job on cause i rushed it and i have one of these in it. I’ve been meaning to redo it but had to wait to finish exams. Now guess what, The man the myth the legend MD releases a video of how he makes a tank that’s perfect for the electric blue acara. Thank you 🙏

Piece of art and always a delight to watch ur builds

Keep up the work man

In the inimitable words of The Incredible Mr. Limpet: “I wish I were a fish” (in an MD tank). 😃

I love how some of the stones compliment the steel blue tones of the Acaras. Such beautiful fish with loads of character.

Most beautiful thing in all the projects is your genuine excitement and sparkle in your eyes. It's so contagious, and as a aquarium enthusiast myself, I can feel the butterflies in your stomach. I didn't keep any fish from 2018, but definitely getting a fish tank soon.

Hello, professional painter/artist here! I realize this video is a year old, but I wanted to offer some input about painting the background with acrylics. With that amount of paint, use one-third of the water that you used in this video. With the roller you will still get an even coating, and plenty of coverage. You'll only need to do two coats, and it will look better in the long run. Acrylic is not water-base, it's plastic based, so mixing it with a lot of water doesn't work out very well and results in uneven layering and the paint will age in a way that will make it chip easily.

This one may be my favorite tank setup ive seen on this chanel

I can’t wait to see them when they get their colors back. That is a truly beautiful tank!

I've been out of aquariums for 30 years, but now that I am older and can afford a beautiful set-up, I am excited. Going with a 125 gallon and your set-up is stunning. It is exactly what I am wanting. Thank-you for sharing this, very inspiring and gave me so many ideas. Well done, it's a show piece.

This and the African tank are my favorites. I love the use of wood and all the ins and outs without plants clogging everything. Wonderful!

Perfect time for this vid to drop. I have a new scape planned for next week, exact same tank dimensions and im going for a south american biotope. A few of your plants are planned for my scape

This is 100% my absolute favorite tank I've seen you make, it is so perfect for your little puppies! . I love that they have a lot of places to hide and weve through, but you can still see them alot

Your fish tanks always come out amazing man

Got back into aquscaping because of your videos MD and I couldn't be happier with how my tank turned out. Looks absolutely beautiful and everything is thriving.

Wowwwwwww!!!! This is my favorite tank yet!!! I was so sad when you broke down the Buddha tank. It is soooo hard to do Amazon swords because of their proportions but you did them true justice. What an amazing scape!!!! I actually found myself wishing I was a fish once it was done and I could see your EBAs swimming around such a lush, beautiful environment.

I have just completed the scape on my 150l tank with your guidance and it has been an amazing journey and I’ve overplanted but it will look awesome when it all grows out ❤️ Thank you for the inspiration ☺️

MD is the best aquarium scene KZreadr, don’t even try argue😁

The quality getting better and better

How happy you got when you found the right spot for the plant gives me a reason to live

I’ve never seen anyone make the freshwater fish hobby look so cool-your collection is mesmerizing. Watching this took me back to my freshwater days, and I remembered how fond I was of some of the freshwater species like the Geophagus, Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, Discus, Gibberosa, and some others.

What a scape! 👍🔥🔥

I love the epic music 😂

I've scene a lot of planted tanks on the internet; yours are the most beautiful so far. Amazing job, I love how joyful you are working with your fish and tanks. Thank you so much for inspiring us!! 🙋‍♀️🙂

I love the use of the driftwood, good job keep it up!!!!

Love your channel....beautiful fish, lovely aquascapes (for the real person, ie no CO2), plants and a gorgeous man. Thank you for all your hard work and positive attitude.

I've literally binged watched all your vids in a week whilst sick with a chest infection. I love your vids so much! So much tranquility vibes. Keep up the amazing work!

These are now my favourite species. Thank you for introducing them to me. New goal in life is to have Electric Blue Acara and of course the setup is absolutely increcible MD! Definitely ym favourite tank of yours. Love the arching wood

You are so enthusiastic and genuinely excited about plants and fishes... it is a pleasure to see the joy in your eyes like a child in a candy store.

Wow, so good, and when you put the fish in, really gave the scale of everything. You are flying MD!

This is probably my favorite tank build/design you’ve done so far. It’s absolutely breathtaking.

This build has to be the most beautiful tank you have done it’s incredible. Big inspirational 👌

Love the tank. I just have to say I have been watching your videos for a few years now and learning so much. Thanks to this channel I will be having my very first fish tank next year. These fish are amazing

This setup and the Amazon are my faves!!! As always awesome setups MD!

Watching your channel gives me the same kind of feel goods as watching Bob Ross paint a picture when i was a kid. You’re a true artist MD!

Wow this tank takes it up another notch. I love it.

this MAN IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT 😍

I am blown away with the amount of scapes you do you very obviously have a lot of passion for the hobby

Your aquarium best setting..... awesome thank you for watching

This build is on another level. Definitely one of my favorites that I've seen!

A great setup with absolutely stunning fish!
