One thing for you to consider: those blocks are stronger with the holes facing up and down. Turning them so the flat sides are up and down will be less sturdy and they can crack along the flat sides. That's why you always see them being used with the holes going vertically. I don't want to see you struggling with broken blocks after loading up the shelves! I am super happy you have Matt on board, always love watching your videos, keep up the great work!
@MDFishTanks do a Amazon puffer community tank (full Amazon species)
@MDFishTanks @FishShopMatt - Please do an Amazon Basin biotope for PIRANHAS! There are over 20 different species of piranha growing to 20-37cm so an eight foot tank would be perfect for them. Feeding time would be next level. It's got to be done.
Maybe you want to do a plaanted black knife fish tank
This channel is 100x better with you and Matt together... I love what you both do individually, but there's serious magic on the screen with you two working together and having fun. Makes the videos more fun, makes the hobby more interesting. Awesome videos lately!
Thanks very much. When we both combine ideas, they are always better than individually. Loving everything so far and you guys will see a big development next vid 👍👍
This channel becomes more than your normal fishtubers channel
A truly entertaining and informative bro-mance for us to all view at our own convenience . Cheers! from Australia . I , am also waiting for every new vid , and viewing it as soon as I put my feet up after working nightshift . Great way to wind down a little with a beer after yet another stressful shift . Please don't look down on people who imbibe alcohol @0700 . "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" . Cheers again 👍
I’ve just seen Matt’s gone. Man, that’s sad as! I loved these two together and I only just found MD. Devo.
Even though I was literally there, it still makes me laugh looking back at it all!
Because you guys are hilarious!
same when editing 😂😂
@@MDFishTanks I love your videos and with the new studio upgrade i would love to see you keep some more cichlids. I currently have geophagus tapajos they are my favourite fish ever. I think you should definetely give some geo's a go. 👍
Nice idea to build the rack with cinder blocks + wood, but please be aware that the resistance of the blocks depends on whether they are placed in vertical (that is, the hollow interior goes up-down) or horizontal, which I think it is your intention as per the video audio. The hollow blocks are like a cylinder, so think of the resistance to the compression of a toilet paper roll depending on how you compress it (vertical or horizontal). Depending on the design specifications of a particular block type it might be strong enough for your purposes if put horizontally; just please check that and do the maths with the weights beforehand.
The idea is great, anyway; it’s going to look awesome =)
Perfectly said! I always worry when people place the cinder blocks that way!
The UK blocks (concrete blocks) don't have holes so all good. Just solid 👍
Nice then, @@MDFishTanks ! I'm sure the shelves will look spot on =) I'm sorry if I sounded too smart-ass on my previous comment, but I was genuinely concerned by the possibility that the structure would eventually collapse...
@@BiologoybecarioI was going to comment the same thing but then I saw your comment 👍
Concerning the breeze blocks, check when you buy them, which face is designed to carry the weight. Cory might have placed the blocks, the way he did because the are designed to carry weight on the face.
Smart tip. Hopefully, they see it in time. We are talking about 5 ton of water. That's no joke.
I love the addition of Matt to the channel, he brings a lot of experience and information I feel is interesting to hear. Personally, I would like to see "mold breaker" videos EG: Severums in a planted tank, keeping dwarf Channa species (the absolute best fish in the world) , or breeding/raising Fundopachnix or other slept on nonannual Killifish.
Use Landscape Block Adhesive to secure the blocks to one another in place of mortar. Super cheap and easy to use , just throw the tube in a caulking gun. It's always a little sketchy when people use freestanding blocks because they don't have a ton of lateral stability even though they can support a boat load of vertical weight.
I am always hugely impressed with Matt's fish knowledge. I can see why Maidenhead Aquatics didnt' want to let him go completely. (not to mention the great free publicity you both bring for them)
Exactly. Dude is a walking fish encyclopedia. Like when they were brainstorming about the stingray fish tank and how it would not fit into their game plan. That's experience and knowledge.
Seeing where you came from, and seeing where you are now is like night and day. I'm so excited for your journey going forward with Matt, and seeing what you can do in the future!
I like the transition of this channel from simple aquascaping channel to a aquascaping/fish knowledge and a mini podcast 😂😂
Make a tank with the blueberry tertra. I think they are one of the best "bigger" school fish. They also have amazing colors.
yeah! They are verry cool! They also are pretty new in the hobby.
I have been watching your channel since the very start in your shed. Your content has only gotten better and better!!
My suggestion would be to make an 8 foot rainbow fish tank. That way you can give them an upgrade and maybe get some more 😊
Love watching these studio remodel videos!
My favourite videos are the ones where you two do amazing stuff together. 2 favourite ones are the Discus black water one and African river 8ft 1000 litre, 2 hour long video. Keep on inspiring people, you’re doing it great.
This studio build is so EPIC!
thanks mate
Hello from Montreal, Canada! I have been following you since the beginning (or close to it) but I really love your new format. I appreciate the discussion you two had and it was enjoyable AND informative. Keep it up guys. You have a winning format here.
I can go back to remind you every video to water the plants, but you told me your wife is on that . Great to see there is so much joy still in working the gallery, it looks great
Aw, c'mon, you guys have LOTS of help! Flo, Annet, Phil... they're always there all the time!😆The 8-footers sound awesome too, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll make with those! And they will allow you to indeed step up the size of fish you're keeping as well - it'd be fun putting some of those baby bristlenoses in there and seeing how huge they get in there!
Don’t forget about Jim!
Please consider large wicking pots for your houseplants. Then check the water/fert level once a week and keep them grow well and fast! I vote for large Angelfish in the 8 foot tank.
You guys are an ALLSTAR team!!! Love watching you brainstorm and joke around 😉
You and Fish Shop Matt are my favorite channels to watch ❤️😊
The addition of Matt is so exciting! Looking forward to all the vids coming up! :)
ANOTHER video. I could cry with happiness. Really enjoy this side of the channel with you and Matt doing stuff
8ft fancy goldfish tank!! You could get some very impressive big ranchu and look amazing planted!!
All I wanna know yall ever gonna do a saltwater tank😂😂
we have 3 planned for soon...
8' tanks are the way to tank. I have been through so many aquariums and when I got my 96"x16"x16" I was done with hunting for the next "best" glass. There is so much room for activities and the fish LOVE the swimming room.
please do a podcast together :D It is so relaxing to listen to both of you
Giant danios or filament bards would look amazing in an 8ft river set up.
Don't ever hesitate to keep those couch conversations in! It's nice to hear the thought process and its harder to edit down trails of thought when there is another voice.
*I've always wanted Geophagus Altifrons or some Clown Loachs but they would just get too big for my 40 gal tanks. Something like that would be perfect for an 8ft tank!
Hello from over the pond. I have been watching the channel since the shed and I am very excited to see where it goes with the addition of Matt. I love the energy you both have and share. its a great vibe!!
Keep up the great work guys! Cheers!
2 bros, chilling in the fish shop, 5 feet apart because big tanks
Sorry to all the ray lovers, but stingrays are boring, so glad you're steering clear of them... Your plans are exciting, so good luck :)
MD, just watched and when you said you were going to use the "breeze blocks" on their sides instead of how Cory used them they will not support the wood! Assuming breeze blocks are what we call cinder blocks or concrete blocks in the USA you can easily break them at the cell web. Keep in mind they are meant to be used vertically. Two of the 2x4s resting above the open cells and only one on the center web will likely be disastrous once all of the tank and water etc weight is in place!

Forget 4x4. Put rays in the 6x6 shallow then scape the "tree" in the middle with epiphytes and vines.... sorted ;)
Oh my I can't wait. You tow are magic together!🙂💙🐟
Can't wait to see those tanks. 8 ft are gone be insane and the shallow sound really fun to.
Love the plans! You should consider doing a tunnel/ bridge between the two tanks.
Love when fishtubers support each other. Its like your favorite bands feature your favorite singers in their records😅
Concrete blocks are a great way to make shelves. They are strong and should last forever (unless you drop one, they will break). Can't wait to see what you guys do next! The 8 foot tanks are going to be so cool.
wow,,, you came so far... from a small studio...
Now a big studio with the 2 of you all supported by a youtube channel.. Congrats bro
Yes a Severum tank need inspiration for my severums.
You guys are rocking it 👏🏻
my favorite aquascape duo, cat shop matt and MD
Best typo ever! Lol 😹
2x 8 footers will be epic!!! cannot wait!!
Altum angelfish for the 8-foot!!!
You too should do couch talk once a month on updates and talking fish and tanks. Was great to see that.
Frontosa! 8 foot tank. Perfect. 😂
fish shop matt's slogan should be "it'll be fine" 🤣
Concrete blocks and lumber work just fine. There are so many other cool fish that could be in an 8-foot! Freshwater rays may as well be in a big stock tank since you want to see them from above and they don't need any depth to speak of. There are LARGE beautiful pelagic Tanganyikan cichlids. There are also smallish Tanganyikan Tropheus, which are kept in large locality-specific schools on rock reefs. There are Tanganyikan Frontosas with lovely personalities. Iridescent Tanganyikan featherfins that make giant sand-crater nests. Giant pike cichlids from South America. Big gentle Uarus. Giant Snakeheads. Jaguar cichlids from Central America. But you really may as well get into saltwater if you are going to have 8 foot tanks! As a fisheries biologist, I refuse to allow you to fill those giant tanks with parrot cichlids or severums! Whatever you choose, I will be happy as a little clam watching from home.😊
OMG! So much great projects to come! how exciting. Keep up the the wonderful and hard work. Loving it!
I like the way you and Matt are discusing the welfare of the fish before you buy them. The 8 foot tanks one has got to be discus fish they would grow so big in an 8 foot and look epic 😀
"Do the movements" 😂😂😂😂 (@06:00)
I had a pink parrot cichlid that was a tank breaker. Violent fish
You two are like brothers
Woohoo! Another video!
Edit: MD back on the top of track board I see! I love the side saga of motorsports in these videos. So niche but it’s my niche 😊
Get a structural engineer to check your floor!. If it's a concrete slab should be fine but there's going to be an awful lot of weight in that room with water and concrete.
I feel exactly the same about rays. Absolutely love them, been drawn to them since I was a kid. I’d love to work with them, but it’s a HUGE commitment and I like heavily planted tanks and playing around with scapes so much. If I ever own a shop or public aquarium there will absolutely be rays though. ❤
8 ft Discus tank 🎉
Pleased I stumbled over your channel. Going through a rough patch and there is something calming in watching and even just listening to your videos. Unfortunately, I now need to dig out my old fluval edge and do a scape.
There’s not many people that understands fish like Matt
I can not wait when the next video is online ...both amazing humor... amazing tanks / vis and build ... greetz
Absolutely love the channel and with Matt onboard it has given it a new great dynamic, Matt was great with his guest appearances but now the way you both interact it’s natural fun and informative, the sit down chat you were having about fish and what to do and where to go with ideas was podcast esque and was great, just two guys having a nice chat, all the best going forwards both deserve it, thanks for the entertainment
I have to say that the team up with Matt is UA-cam Gold! Entertainment value is off the roof!
Loving the new content and increased frequency in posting ...keep it up guys and carry on enjoying life so much 😁
The breeze block rack system is also easy to adjust should you change the height of the tanks in the racking system.
Poor Matt. He lives a life fitting of a Dickensian novel. He's given a damn good thrashing and forced to work for half a bowl of cold gravel. That's to eat, not to use in an aquarium.
I'm with Kate. Coreys!
For the 8 foot, it would be super cool if you made an "axolotl haven", you've both made scapes for an axolotl(s) before, but I feel it'd be a really cool scape for such a large tank. Can also include reall interesting spaces for shrimp as tankmates!
MD is pumping out content like never before! Love it!
11:32 Socrates and Plato
just love that energy and all the projects. Can't wait to see how they shape out !
The severum idea is great!
You two together just bring so much joy and inspiration to my own personal hobby journey. Thank you❤
The room is really coming together guys! Thanks for posting so much content so quickly!
Make the 8foot tanks Asia and South America themes both deferent themed it will be great idea😊
Of all the one liners you guys have I’m surprised there were no giggles after “we can bang some wood together”😂
I’m so happy to see you both working together and lots more videos which I love from Australia
The lounge area looks amazing surrounded by tanks! Looks dope!
Cheers from France !
Yes I really am enjoying the content so much lately honestly you and fish shop Matt are really killing it over the last few weeks
I would like more content if time wasn't wasted on just eating food. I don’t want non-aquarium vlogs.
I am looking forward to seeing your new setup!!
Only place I've ever seen a freshwater ray thrive was in a massive enclosure at Moody Gardens in Galveston. They're stupid big. Like close to a meter in width. Really neat seeing the xingu river ones and realizing that the pleco has the same spots, but sad that I don't have a pond that I can safely house a ray.
Since Matt came to this channel, this have became my absolute favorite. You two are so fun to watch, and I get so happy from every video. Also, I LOVE all the Top Gear-references :D
The rack will be so cool! I just redid my fishroom and went back to the cinder blocks and wood for half of it. I love it. I set it up by myself, which was cool and I can move things around if wanted. I like the look as well. Left it "au nautral" 😊
Top Gear vibes with the sofa chatting and racing digital laps. Have to name the channel off the scale or s/t. Went to Blackdown Maidenhead last week, very nice!
I feel like you should mirror the other side. Like move the two empty four foots to the other section and have two fours and an eight on both sides. Does that make sense? Meh, just my need for uniformity mostly lol. Very excited to see the continued progress!
I'm guilty of backseat 'scaping as well today😉
for the shallow 4x4 try fiddlercrabs of vampire crabs, they can go out of the water, if you provide that and some beachhead, that would be so lovely to see. make a mangrove like scape. with room to build tropical vineplants and thing like that.
I’d love to see a Bichir in the 8 foot tabk as well as some Aponogeton as it would do well in the space.
I love my Hillstream Loaches!! I want to see and learn more about them.
You guys should have a 2nd channel where there is a daily vlog. Keep this channel for the aquascapes and Matt's for education and a 2nd channel for videos like this but daily. I definitely would watch you all daily and I believe it would be interesting to see what goes into all this.
I've always done vlogs between build videos. This is no different. Just happens that at the moment there is a bit more building and moving as we go into a new phase 😊
I like you to start doing alot more with the killifish range because there are some beautiful varieties of them.
I like the idea of a school of good-sized severums in an 8 foot tank. Gold is nice, but I prefer the wild-type colouration.
The new wayout looks and works way better!
Good choice!
oh hey I watch ur vids lol
@@yxzjeryll9350 Ahoy! Thanks ☺you must quite like Vampire Crabs then!
@@IndoorEcosystem had no idea u were into planted aquariums as well lol
@@yxzjeryll9350 😅I first started as a kid with rainbow fish and blue-eyes back in Australia but my first tank, semi recently was a shrimp tank.
After that came Vampire Crabs and way too many other tanks... Multiple Tank Syndrome (MTS) gets everyone at some point! MD is pretty much the cause of that though ahahahah
@@IndoorEcosystem agreed! it always starts with that one small tank which leads to one tank after another haha
Discus in heavy planted😊
I have an 8 foot x 3 foot x 2 foot tall tank and cabinet, ordered through Maidenhead Aquatics Leicester. It was interesting getting it in the house and quite a few people to move it. I want to scape it next year so I`ll be watching you guys with interest 🙂 It would be awesome to see a temperate planted tank for the smaller temperate fish, mainly as that is my plan for my tank 🙂
Oh man! I just can’t wait for the 8ft tanks!! But could I please request that make one of the 8ft tanks a Geophagus community tank? Different species of Geos, some Guianacaras, albino heckeli! That would be a dream tank of mine! 😍😍
Get some freshwater flounders for one of your future tanks, not many people have them and they would look really cool
For the 8 ft what about a giant South American biotope tank with wild discus, wild altums, compatible cichlids, dwarf cichlids and tetras in general? Like the one that you and Matt scaped in the shop but on a bigger scale?
Well done guys, your channel and yout work is amazing 👍👍
you should defo try do a marine/ coral tank, maybe not the 8ft but maybe in a free 4ft or something if available i think that would be different and pretty cool to see
5:20 Matt just showed us how to manipulate your employees 😂
Jellyfish!!!! various miniature ones!
Good to hear that Flo's better now you've moved the racing controls.
Bet the doctor never thought of prescribing that cure!
Sue, she suggested moving the gaming chair.
Corey actually did an updated version of a block and wood type rack system he did in his home fish room you guys might want to look for it.
