- Pebble Aquascape Tutorial - Rare Hardscape Nature Aquarium
1st job guys. Hit the like for me if you enjoy the video. It helps more than you know.
So I had these pebble just sitting there and thought it was best to use them for something. I'm happy with how the scape turned out after making a few changes that you will see in the video.

something else, like this
where did you get those glass canister filter add ons ? they look so clean ? is it a pricey filter?
@@Baynstyy check the description
Brilliant. Tank just been delivered, pebbles being amassed, this is where I'm going...!
Watching scape these tanks is amazing you've turned something that was so scary to me into something I would definitely like to try. You definitely inspired me to move on from the boring plastic plants to the real thing. Thank you for what you do.
Thanks for sharing your process; the challenges, decision making and successes. Breaking down your practice of aquascaping in this honest and generous way makes your work accessible. Beautiful.
I like your chef like skills on the chopping board. Definitely earned your first Michelin star with that scape! ⭐️☺️🌱
Nice scape, and low light plus no co2 requiring plants . One of the more watchable aquascaping channels .
Beautiful & Soothing. 👍🏼👌🏼
I love how you started just going with whatever you had, now you have the power to pick and choose what you want. Its looks much better with more plants. Keep it up!
cheers andrew
wow your scapes are looking great
It does look really really nice Mr Fish Tanks, keep the background as it is now.
You make guppies very happy.
U make it look so easy love watching your vids 👍🏴
Good looking scape my friend
It's so nice to see a video of someone not liking what they've created and doing bits of it again. Thank you for a great video and for making me feel ok about my aquascaping
Mate! You lost me at 1:15 with the crocs and socks!! Haha kidding! Again, bloody beautiful! Love the stones!! 👍🏻 ♥
It's a strong look ;)
@@MDFishTanks it's a brave look! 😂 ♥
This is clearly one of the best tank I've ever seen. Such a good work you've done here👍
thanks hugo
Hi from Denmark! I am a new subscriber to your UA-cam. Love your vidios and your aquascapes! And your sense of humor is great 😊
By the way ... thanks for the tip with filter floss between the stone so the bottom layer dont fall through 😊👏
I actually liked the lighter background. I know what you're saying about the depth. I used a frosted background one time and that was the last. I watched 2x. Liked. 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
thanks terry
This is so beautiful and in most places round river rock is cheap from landscape places or free if you go to a river. This is so good for people who don't have $100 to spend on rocks.
Lovely tank 😊
Awesome job as always!
This is a great scape! Round river stones look very hard to scape with and stack to look natural. You always manage to get it done though. Great job done Marc always love your uploads!
Its real nice to find a uk fish guy
Another great scape Mark. Love the pebbles
Nice pebbles aquascape
Like you said, you have evolved and it has been a pleasure to follow you.
So happy to have found your channel. You sir, create constant inspiration. Thank you.
Absolutely stunning as always MD! Love what you do, it’s so inspirational to those who want to aquascape on a budget. Love that you’re challenging yourself with different hardscapes. Keep at it! ❤️
You're so talented and each tank you do gets better and better!!! I absolutely love watching your videos.
Every inch of this scape...hypnotic...
nice one
Awesome work..
Awesome!
cheers :)
I just started aquascaping with my one and only tank, still save some money to buy another. And u sir. My inspiration to do the aquascape more. Love from malaysia 🇲🇾
I thought you would like to plant the stem plants with the half full aquarium! ;)
very inspirational... good work... again . love it
Great scape. I just purchased about 87 pounds of rock from my local rock yard for aquascaping. This gives me some great ideas for their use.
Love the tank! And I really enjoy the music you choose. Great videos! 👏
Love it! your videos are always so great and show how beautiful this hobby can really be, keep it going!
Favorite so far, simple but I just love river rock
thanks tonya
Very nice,good job, missed the nomanomammmmsesssesiflorammmmmpffff. Lol
Love the way you pronounce some plants names, like it matters,we all know what you mean. Except for that new bee who goes to his Lfs and asks for the plant you showed and memorized it the way you pronounce it, that's good for a laugh, I see them salespeople laugh and say : so you ve seen MD haven't you? Lol. Love your work mate.
Another scape well done your skills have grown indeed we can atest to that keep it up ,it s a wonder how many scapes that little shed of yours can house ,brilliant as always also like the ambient music .
The tank is looking really cool. Thinking to create this aquascape tomorrow 😆but sadly I haven't those round pebbles. So I have to buy them tomorrow and also some plants😀😀😀😍
Looks really cool love the shrimp.
Beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice job !!
thank you :)
large pebble stones look nice , anyone else had similar tank?
back in 2021 cheers on the pebbles hardscape
It's beautiful
I like it,,,,
thanks very much
beautiful
A1 as always.
Looks stunning 😍❣️👌
Amazing tank!! Probably my second favorite one you have (behind panchos tank)Great work 👍🏻
Very inspirational again. Was nice to spot some Hungarian in the vid (@1:29), 'öntapadós fólia' for transparent foil. 😀
I saw the wood floating 😂 but you fixed it quickly 😉
panic moment haha
Beautiful, as usual!!!
good job
thank for the comment :)
So beautiful setup .. it's so amazing ...you have always surprise everyone with your passion ...you have to many ideas
Looks great man. Gonna have to use some of your ideas in a rebuild I'm planning. Thanks.
I probably would have done the same, planted more plants and the effect is wonderful and tasteful. Greetings from Poland👍
thank you :)
Simply amazing 👏👏👏
thank you :)
I love u
Ur the best aquascaper
I just can’t explain how awesome ur builds are
I have accidentally realized that there is the name of the background folio in Hungarian :) Öntapadós fólia :) congrat to your vlog...
This is honestly stunning mate so simple and perfect was definitely time for a rescape and I agree the two cube tanks to its right need it to looking forward to them 👌😂
you can use ludwigia species! they are a easy stem plant and stay really red!
Edit: also, you should try needle leaf Java fern. it's leaves are smaller and look much nicer. in addition it also makes the tank look bigger :D
good job tho! keep it up!
清爽自然，超讚！
I like it sparse like that now that the background is off, I’m thinking of it with a couple weeks growth. I love the way it looks, a lot of the tanks look great the day you do them and then a week or two later the plants fill in and it’s just a big ball of Green. I think I like it with a lot of the background showing and not a lot of plants like right after you took the stuff off and repainted the wall I really liked the depth of it.
Brilliant
Very nice! Like it a lot! 😃🌿💦👍
Peter Sandberg is just amazing...listen to him play every night in bed
Super😊👍
wow that is very nice. what a calming effect. What are the filter's accessories that seem like glass? (entry/exit of water and top kind of skimmer). Love your channel.
I think it's beautiful. :)
thank you
That scape to me is lovely, but it is crying out for a pair of bristlenose pleco’s... theyd fit in their fantastically
I like it, 4 yes
i will be attempting to do this for my first aquascaping experience, with a 50L tank, as my 34th birthday present.
wish me luck
Interested to see how Hottonia Palustris will perform without co2. Cheers Marc!😄
I personally likes the light background. I thought it looked better. To each their own of course. Regardless, ALWAYS love your work!!
If I'm not being too personal, I'm curious where the "MD" comes from? Are you a Medical Doctor in your "day job?" Just curious is all.
Thanks for your content! Always love it!
I still can’t get past the face that you’re gonna take you’re discus tank apart! Anyways looking forward to the content
Coming soon...
I saw a cool trick for when ADA or similar aqua soil spills over into the sand, you can use a magnet to pick it up. I saw another video where some guy had a magnet on the end of a stick and he would just pick up the little balls of aqua soil out of the sand with the magnet and shake it and it would fall right off, apparently there’s a little bit of iron in them and for the OCD people who like to keep them separate I thought that was a pretty good tip. Lol.
Brother, I love your work!
The end result is just a beautiful lush green jungle for you guppies! Congrats.
You’ve come a long way in a short period of time, I would say.
Keep it up, you deserve the attention and the success!!!
Now, for some friendly constructive criticism, if I may:
LESS IS MORE
1. you stuck so many different species of plants, it looks like you’re just running through the plants catalog ant trying them out, all in the same playground; I mean, you should learn all about as many different species as you can, but perhaps grouping them up in different tanks rather then juggling them all together in a cramped area; you’ve got enough plants there to feed a small village 😳😄😁😋🤣👍🏻
2. the pebbles are beautiful (and the pebbles wrapped in moss just shows your growing craftsmanship) but again, too many pebbles; don’t stack them up, otherwise you end up with a Great-wall of China look... it doesn’t feel natural; loose some, it will improve the looks, I assure you
3. keeping it simple is deceivingly tricky, and achieving a Nature like look is the key of success; check out this river-like pebbled scape and appreciate the diversity of plants, still getting an homogenous final looks in terms of textures and leaf-forms that go well together and balance the entire composition

Yes, you should completely ignore me and just go on with what pleases your soul
But as time goes by, I personally tend to be attracted by the simplest of designs ... who said grasping ART was easy? 😉🙏🏼💪🏼👌🏼
Stay strong brother, have fun! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇵🇹
Nice to see that you have to change things around and work at it to get it perfect. My tanks are always a work in progress. Also, loved the music on this one! What is it?
thanks. The music is quoted at the start of each song
Super cool! On a black background it looks even better🌿🌱🍃 But where are you doing Mushu? 😞
the puffer went back to the shop as i never saw it.
It does look better without the back ground
Looks amazing, where did you buy your wood from? It always seems excessively expensive from fish shops and online.
I like your work. For this particular scape I think that the rocks are too much lined up. It breaks for me with the idea of a natural scape. I have some river rocks in one of my tanks and left them more random. I have separated the 2 different substrates with an L-shaped piece of drift wood. Looking forward to your next scape.
Where do you buy those sticker cover for the back glass? What are they called?
Your videos are very inspiring in-terms of ideas regarding planted aquariums,you make it look so easy,I would like to ask wether this tank runs on co2 and fertilizers or either of it,would you classify this tank as a low-tech if yes then it would be a great help as Im planning for a similar kind of setup.
no co2. And yes, this is def a low tech tank
Love Your Man Shed, and beautiful scapes and tanks. I have a request though. Do you think you could try your hand at a corner unit? i have a juwel trigon 190, and would love to see some ideas on scaping it, it has it difficulties of course. Thank you for your time.
This is the only video that i chose for aquascaping, it ain’t too detailed, its normal
Where did you buy the frosty background? I cant find any decent ones that do not require adhesive....also thank you for you videos. They are awesome!
Couple of question I have is when it comes to your substrate and hardscape primarily the wood. Do you pre-soak the wood and/or boil it? And the substrate do you pre-wash?
I'm finding if and when I do new tanks and or clean ones up the wood will either make the water somewhat tea colored and the substrate seems to make the water foggy. Not sure if it's just how it is with you or b/c you work with larger tanks maybe you don't have that problem?
yeah sometimes is a problem, that's why you need to do 50% water change each day for the first week.,
@@MDFishTanks I've been doing that just didn't know if there was a way around that. Thank you again.
Boiling wood helps to release the tannins. For pieces that are too big to fit in a pot, I pour boiling water over them for several times.
@@wxlurker Good to know, pouring the boiling water on the wood I didn't think of that. Thank you
😍
Great scape, Mark! What's the plan with the guppies? Is it like an experiment to see how the strains mix naturally?
We want no filtersss!!! Hahahahaha great job anyway
Hello I would love to follow the steps of the video but I am so scared to put all these heavy pebbles on the glass. I am afraid that all these weight will break the glass? How to feel not scared and do like you?😢
👍👍✌
Any videos that you talk about your water ? Kh and gh ?
THICCCCCCCC!!!!
Hi guys, question is it overkill to use extra plant substrate below a ph lowering all in soil??
Loving it. Great job. Have you met George Farmer bro?
yes, he came to my fish studio and made a video ua-cam.com/video/mB3je2t-Bo8/v-deo.html
Just tinkinh sir. Can you aquascape with drinking glasses? What i mean is drinking glasses inside the tank. Defenitely not natural looking but looks cool right?
Hey man!! What did u use for the back of the tank, just contact paper? Thanks
