MD, I'd love to see you really challenge yourself and do a 3 or 400 pound budget challenge. Like facebook marketplace tanks and finding deals to see how far you can stretch your money while still making one of your impeccable tanks.
I was thinking $100.... It's doable
@@levibennett5166 it's for sure doable at that price. I was just throwing out the 3 or 400 as a rough amount.
@@levibennett5166not really.
@@levibennett5166 I could do the whole tank above for 400 quid. Few less plants and a couple less rocks but that's about the budget of this.
@@MDFishTanks it's beautiful and we love it. I was just thinking maybe there could a unique challenge for you. Like a 10 gallon old school tank for as cheap as possible. I have faith in you 🤙
Man I wish Superfish was in the US
If anyone has heard their calling, its you. Stunning 😍
Beautiful shop. I do miss the trips to Maidenhead aquatics.
Me too.
Me three
Me 4
Hey MD , " that couldn't have gone any BETTER " , but seriously the whole video was a pleasure, and Dave is the most generous man in the business .... hope you left the shop with a few pieces of hardscape that you can't wait to set up your next display !!! For the longest time I have been seeing more faces in driftwood and a few in stones but check out the back one @ 11:44
I've been watching you channel for a while now, absolutely love you aquariums. Today after many months of studying I am doing my 1st planted 10 gallon 37ish liters aquarium. I had a few aquariums in the past, just never planted. My wife and kids gave me $300 to spend for it for fathers days. I am so torn on what fish to get now lol.
For nano/schooling fish chilli rasboras are a great option and if there are lots of greens the red should nicely pop foe singular you can't go wrong with a nice betta or some guppies even
i love how you have aquariums for all budgets 💜
Great tank !
I'm all exited as I'm soon getting a 720 liter tank for my office.
Thx for all the inspiration ❤❤❤
Cheers from France
I hope we get an update once the fish are in.
You greatly appreciate this channel and all of my scapes are based on your videos and expertise. I would love to know if there was a place where you could see all of the aquascapes you have inspired.
“Root around”. That means something very different here in Australia 😂😂😂
wow another video! hell yeah for being back 🥳
Have you stopped using mesh bags for the aquasoil? I'd be interested to know why - I always have the soil coming back up above the sand!
Stunning as always
Just stunning
Love the medium tech videos.
ANOTHER BANGER
Good morning, another amazing tank. Well done MD.
Wait good morning?
Thank you Dave.
When you said that, he’d never capped soil…😧… I almost fell out of my chair & out of my car, lol. 🤣 He has all the best ingredients at his disposal! What?
great work as usual
don't get me wrong but at the final stage even big pieces of wood all covered by plants, so you can't see any details
is there any sense in using all of them?
Another great scape! I'd love for you to create another take with your Buda statue. I loved that scape and miss when you used to get creative with extra stuff like the owls and Buda.
Love it!!! I hope you can do a indepth video on how to setup the colombo co2 kit and refill ones its running low/out
Lava rock is my favorite aquascaping stone. Cheap, lightweight ,high surface area, inert , you can find a lot of textures, pairs well with other volcanic stones. I feel like they dont get called high-end because the are so easily sourced and cheap.
came out great . I need to invest in a Co2 system.
Merci pour la vidéo
magnificent as always MD :), maybe this is the tank for some CPD's ?
Hi MD, you don't use anymore net bags for substrate anymore! Why is that?
Explained in a previous video. MD says there is nothing wrong with that method but he doesn’t need to redo and reuse the substrate so often for new setups anymore now that he has a lot more tanks. Net bags were quick and convenient to remove and reuse. Less need in longer term setups.
Love the videos MD - relaxing, inspiring and educational, keep it up please! Just wondering how you deal with tanins when using wood in your smaller tanks?
would love to see some green tiger barbs on the channel, theyre my favorite 🙏🏻
Nice job. Beautiful. What lighting did you use on this tank? Thank you.
nice ! :)
omg name reveal what😮
I was looking for this comment lol
@@person1077 Me too !
If you go way back… it was revealed long ago
Hi, love the videos,. Have you got any recommendations of where to source plants online?
It would help if when you do these "budget" aquarium videos that you include, either at the end or pinned in the comments, a detailed list of equipment, hardscape, gravel, and plants including price. I'm quite sure the sticker shock for this "budget" aquarium would put off many people new to the hobby.
medium budget. Talking like 500 qui all in
Another beautiful setup! MD, have you ever considered entering IAPLC? I'd love to see what you could put together for one of the big competitions.
its not for me really. First of all I think there skill level is a lot higher but also, takes all the fun out of creating aquariums for me personally.
We know you use the super glue and paper towel method for gluing hardscapes but could you please show us the sort of glue you use; brand, type and how much to use
cheers heaps 😁
Love this tank setup! I am trying to find someone in or around Leicester to help me scape a tank. It's a Wall Tank so a bit of a challenge.
Zwei "Profiaquariengestalter" unter sich! 👍
Just a question about the wood used, how do you avoid mold on the bits sticking out of the water?
give it a little brush every once in a while. Alternatively attach moss and it will grow up out the water and onto the moss.
@@MDFishTanks thanks for the advice!
How did the crypt flamingo get on? I couldn't make it out from the 1 month later shots 👍
How long do u keep the light on in these small aquarium?
Nice MD! only critique i have is most of ur co2 is escaping to the surface right next to the skimmer... the flow is not optimizing it.
Also the soil capped with sand or gravel. Put a few cories and it's all mixed in 3 mins. They're like a fish tank crackheads.
Did you leave the fern in the little plastic pots
Another beautiful tank were are you based do you have a shop would love to come down and visit
Heh. I'd be wanting to scoop the wood bits out of that sand table for compost... =p
Unlimited money 👍✌️
Timy is a female!
(Not relevant, I just got to the video early enough this may be seen. Love the content, man! Please keep it up!)
Timmy is very sensitive about gender topics....
@@MDFishTanks Fair enough. Last I checked, turtles aren't too hung up on gender roles.
@@ambystomaguy5825 only when it comes to digging lol
Think you should do a under £60 complete all in one tank challenge. Buy a 24l tank from pets at home along with gravel, plants and fish etc.
Half the fun for me is picking out the rocks, gravel & sand.
I like seeing the various layers built up in my natural tanks & I start out with a heavy, native, red clay then a rich compost layer that's 1/3 crushed carbon from my firepit, followed by a small capping of depleted compost/indoor plant soil & then capped by an .5 inch (1.5 cm) of gravel & then topped with an inch (3cm) of sand (for my cories to snuffle through).
Over time, you watch it turn to gley (anoxic blue-grey) & watch critters & roots move through the layers. I find that more enjoyable than a pristine tank - though I love those too, but realistically, I can't maintain that.
The CO2 bubbles are going up to the top of the aquarium from the diffuser. Doesn't this limit CO2 efficiency throughout the tank?
Hey MD, have you experienced aquasoil “leaking” to the foreground with all (most) of your builds? I just scaped my first tank based on your clean “soil at the back capped with sand”, but constantly find bits of soil making its way to the front.
From what I can see you do not cap it with a think layer (1cm tops???) but always get to maintain that clean foreground look.
Please… give me that secret sauce!
Do you have corys or plecos? If so then that is probably why. In my big cory tank I've given up having nice plants and nice looking tank as they've mixed up substrate and dig up plants. Even deep rooted ones. Pepper loves to dig holes 😂
Another great video. Hopefully i can start making some videos with a bit of this quality.
Would be good :) the quality of mine is about the level of a 10 year old 😂 then again a 10 year old would probably do better
Where did the flamingo go?
What is a comparable USA tank?
What's the cost all in MD
Let Dave aquascape next time
I'm not at all happy with my aquarium. I'm going to rip it all out and start over. Or maybe you MD could come to Missouri and set it up for me. 😁😅 Then I will maintain it. I wish. I will just try to copy you... thanks for the inspiration. (Gina from across the pond in the USA)
When you say medium budget setup, what is the final price of this? I don't ever remember you stating final pricing on your setups.
My plants are on auto and completely overgrown I need help. Can I send a pic for education?
How are you defining "budget"? As others have pointed out, an indication of total cost would be helpful. Very nice set-up, but I would question the affordability for a lot of people despite the "budget" reference.
medium budget. For this setup, about 500 all in...you can bring that down with less plants and wait for them to grow in over a longer time.
@MDFishTanks Wrong audio track at 14:23 - Music cuts out back to mic audio over the planting montage. ✌
Where the hell can you get these tanks from? Everywhere is sold out. Also never seen Nutri-base anywhere 😢
I got my Superfish tank from my local LFS but Maidenhead Thornbury has loads. Will eventually get another one and sell my main tank as rimless so much better for me ( main tank is rimmed and chonky) 😂 yeah same problem with Nutribase - MD buying it all out 😅
Not cheap, cheap but still very do-able. Just have to put aside a few extra pennies! And saying this I don't actually have any tanks because where I live, I'm not allowed. So I live vicariously through you.! One day my friend, one day and Your enablement will have created a monster. Mwa-Haha!
Been trying to get this bloody Nutri base stuff but it's out of stock everywhere I've seen!
42 s 😮
Im just aquascaping my 5 foot 550litre shrimp only tank, why dont you just hop on the motorway and come up to preston and help me😂
Back in the day you had to hire a guy to blow through a little tube to get that sweet, sweet CO2
Expectentions eh?

Hi sir my name Rohit Sharma and my youtube channel Rs aquarium studio and your video my all friends and family all aquarium good looking ( in) india 🇮🇳
Why make a video saying a medium budget build but not talk about prices?
because the price varies from shop to shop, so you only have to look up "superfish scaper 90" and it will give you some costs.
But a 'build' is not just a tank is it for £100? You've got a c02 tank worth £200 alone, probably £50 of soil and another £100 in rocks and wood? You should have talked about the costs in his shop so we can get an idea on how much a 'medium budget' build actually is?
@@Joelpalmer123 I'd say this whole set including everything is 400 to 500. I'd def class that as medium Budget when you think how much the high end stuff costs
I m ur regular viewer from india i love ur videos but i don't have that budget to do one but it aways awesome to see ur video love ur word
Hypoyhetically, if i date dave. Will i get free aquascaping materials such as driftwood and aquasoil. (Asking for a friend)
poop master
Budget aquarium then puts a c02 tank on it. 😂😂😂😂
"medium" budget aquarium...the step up to medium budget is BECAUSE of the affordable co2 system.
@MDFishTanks I watch all your videos..but would be interesting to see price tag on rocks woods substrate filter plants lights and tank. ££££
First! 😅
