Some potentially personal questions so fully get if you don't want to say!
But mind if I ask how big the property is (like acres/amount of an acre) or if you only know the front and back outdoor area's that's fine that's really what I'm interested in.
When you see numbers written on a property it's pretty hard to visualise so want to use it as a rough visual idea (I'm looking at getting a mortgage within the next 2yr if things keep going as they are and I don't care about a small house as long as I got enough outdoor space 😂).
Also out of curiosity what did you do before going full time on UA-cam? (Not asking how much you got paid just the type of industry you were in).
Again fully get if you don't want to answer either or both questions!!!!
Love what you do 😊
That's a nice kit. Concerning the floating plants. Maybe you could have a dedicated section for them with a tiny bit of plastic. It would also prevent them from going under the waterfall.
Put a Betta in one of these get a 2nd kit. Betta fish patio pond aquascape
@@PikaRaichupikapika are betta's ok in cold water?
your house is BEAUTIFUL
Thanks very much all thanks to you guys watching so thank you hugely 👍👍
@@MDFishTanks this is deep for no reason but honestly you should be so proud im sure youve heard this loads but you seem like the best father ever and you seem like such a down to earth guy who deserves everything you have so ye just wanted to say that
@@PinchyLobster Thanks mate. Very nice of you to say.
@@MDFishTanksyou deserve it so much!
Amen to that
tanner from serpadesigns licking his lips seeing that backyard portion for a pond build lol, hoping yall collab someday
I agree😊
Oooh, that would be so awesome!!
Already excited about that back garden pond build!! 😮😮
If it happens, it will be a very long project. I was speaking with Tanner from Serpa Design at aquashella about getting pros in to do it but would really like to do it myself....with zero experience. He even agreed, I'll get the most out of it by far doing it myself...but will take a LOT longer. But I don't mind that. Learn as I go.
Same!
@@MDFishTanks Its pretty straight forward tbh. Me and my friend got it done in less than a week besides the digging which took about 2 days. With a cheap laser level meter and placing flat stone tiles and sand/soil, we got the edge to be very flat and even. One corner away from the house should be lower to allow the water to overflow when its raining. Of course geography matters, we couldnt dig as deep as we wanted because we hit bedrock about a meter down. Fun and exhausting and now we have a pond about 12x8m.
Get tanner over and do a collab. That would be awesome, especially if mat comes too 😁
@@MDFishTanks Just seen Tanner's update on the pond he built in his parent's garden. It's beautiful. Fly him over, that would be fab!
Smart to protect your kids. The pond is so cool! Thank you for showing us your lovely yard and deck.
Bro decided to do what he loves for a living, then realised he could own a castle. If that isn't the epitome of follow your dreams, taking that leap of faith.... then I don't know what is
A big group of white clouds would be so beautiful in that pond
Great to protect your precious children; good to hear/see! Plus Martin is a great guy; good to see him!
3 goldfish in a 30 gallon? Maybe ok for a short time but those guys are going to out grow that fast.
All this man needs is the wind to blow, and he will have the justification to set up another pond bigger for them. let a lot the fish out growing their tank.
Beautiful house and so much space. Cute little temporary pond to hold your fish while you get to digging that proper pond.
1 goldfish needs no less than
20 us liquid gallons =
75.708 liters
Your house is a flex mate for britain. Living the dream.
I would absolutely love to live near a shop like that! Amazing selection.
Yeah it's such a good shop. All the maidenhead aquatics in my area are top class.
I'm having to get 80% of my new (and first) aquarium set-up online unfortunately. Good vid by the way, something different. Great channel. You make your aquariums look so sweet aswell.
1 - Laughed at the first segment when M.D. dropped that part that rolled underneath the table
2 - Props to Uncle Andrew!
3 - It's not supposed to be that sunny in England!
4 - Great video & fun pond build!
Exactly! What’s the meaning of all that sunshine? How appalling. 😂
Blown away by how stunning your house is
The way he cuddles himself, "it'll be fine. It'll clear" 😂😂😂😂 I can totally relate 😶🌫
What a lovely view from the back garden 🪴
I’m a bit confused. Are the “moors” over in the UK like “peat bogs” (where they find dead, preserved people?) or are they just undeveloped, prairie-type, upland situations? Here in the NE US “moors” are generally boggy wetlands, not quite swamps but large meadows with vernal pools.
Wow, that huge boring lawn NEEDS a huge pond built on it! Im quite surprised you havent built one already. It would look fantastic and breaks up the massive monotony of just grass everywhere :)
It's more of a family garden and didn't feel safe with water when the children were younger but my youngest is nearly 5 now so something kate and I have been discussing.
I’m voting for fruit trees. 😁
He could put an entire lake in that backyard! In the states anyone with a (swimming) pool is required to have a fence with a lock on the gate to prevent accidents. I assume it’s the same with a pond over a certain depth.
I love fish ponds!!!! I have one (80-ish gallons) in my garden with 4 goldfish
Forgive me if this is inappropriate but you’re clearly loaded. Your house and property is stunning. What did you do before UA-cam? You clearly earned some decent coin.
Rice fish are kept outside all winter in Japan which gets a lot colder than uk
It’s not a weather issue it’s a legality thing as rice fish would thrive in the uks waterways and be incredibly invasive that’s why we can’t keep them outside over here
MD, white cloud mountain minnows would be great for that pond. I'm about 50 miles up the M5 from your local Maidenhead Aquatics and I've had a group of six living in a small pond for over four years now!
Make sure you learn how water moves across your backyard in a heavy donwfall so you don't end up with overflowing ponds and fish and plants doing a reenactment of the Great Escape. 😁I look forward to the future huge pond!
So pleased for you, you have worked so hard on your YT project and have said that you did other work too. Love your studio and beautiful house, well deserved and well done.
I'm looking into getting my mom a pond for her porch since her goldfish are outgrowing their indoor tanks. This was great inspo! Definitely one of my favorite videos of yours. Awesome seeing you scape something different than your typical aquariums.
Here we gooo another video! Keeping my 100% watch rate
I personally would not build a pond right at the bottom of the garden. I would certainly build a big pond but I would put it near to the house, ideally next to the decking and the seating area. If you put it at the bottom of the garden you'll very rarely visit it, if you want any sort of water feature involving moving water you'll have to run a power supply down the full length of the garden. Next to the house would be a lot easier to install and you'll be viewing it all the time.
What a lovely home you got there MD! I'm happy for you.
I'd love to see most of that backyard turned into a permaculture garden. ^^
An herb spiral right off the deck would be lovely & the bottom section would tie into a small pond section for water herbs & fish.
If you have the garden section closer to the house, it'll be easier to maintain & collect from daily. Put the boys to work learning how to grow & maintain things to live off of as well as having a sports area.
Thanks, MD. Love the patio pond, and enjoyed the different content today. Good on you for keeping the kids out of the limelight. It's a strange ole world out there, after all. Curiuos though, what names the kids come up with. Anyhow, your uncle did a bang up job on the man cave! Looks amazing in there!
My dude is LOADED. Fishkeeping, and a LOAD of talent, seems to have to been good to you. Kudos MD!
Frankly I’m a bit disappointed! Was expecting something more akin to the Cotswolds…
😕 🤣
Thank you for being who you are.
I can't wait to see the big pond in the back. That will be an epic series.
I love, love, love your back yard. The view at night must be spectacular
Cheers from France.
Thanks for the inspiration ❤❤❤
This is not the same house where i first saw you show your little shad/ start of your Yt adventure . Well done MD
I love your yard and the view of the moors!
Lovely house and back yard.
Aye you're definitely winning at life with that home! Big house, man cave, football pitch for a garden, and ridiculous views 😍👏
You moved… nice big back yard. Plant some trees, in couple of years it will be perfect.
And make a video of it. 🙂
I was just thinking of buying my dad a pond for the backyard this summer, 100% happening now!!!
I liked what you said about kids and putting them on line.
Oh. The pond looks nice. 😂😂😂
Perfect spot for viewing your pond. Now I’m going to have to pull mine out of the garage and set it up because I love yours. Martin, you have some beautiful fish!!
Beautiful backyard
I'd like to see an update on Martin's pond if he'll have you! I think last we saw was just the equipment being delivered ages ago...
It's always good to have a Martin sighting. Love the gold fish idea, i was thinking the same for my out door pond
That garden is awesome. Great house!
Excited for the build!
These patio ponds are literally aquaponic grow setups. You can grow any veg or fruit in it. It's all organic since it uses no chemicals
Beautiful home yous have n the pond really does set it off .
Great product I might buy that for my gfs house she will love it
What a great yard to build a natural swimming pool on!
What a beautiful house
Thank you Jamie. You guys all watching transformed our lives over the past 5 years so thank you very much from the MD family.
@@MDFishTanksyou deserve it all buddy. 👍 Any hints on your plans for the rice fish? Just set up an indoor patio pond myself with rice fish.
Yey! Meet the new manager 😊Good for Martin for promotion! ( he's the same Martin, right? )
yep 😊😊
Right?! So Martin, looking forward to your channel! Where do we watch? When do we watch? I mean there's 😂tradition here!!
I loved this build video, summer always makes me want a pond and this one seems super easy to do!
The Import of Live Fish Act (ILFA) in the UK only allows Japanese rice fish, also known as Oryzias species or medaka, to be sold for indoor aquariums. Keeping them in outdoor ponds or barrels could breach the terms of the ILFA license and cause an invasive risk if they escaped into UK waterways. This is because they can tolerate low temperatures and survive.
Thanks for the explanation. Totally came to the comments for that
Bro do a video series on a giant triangular pond with a waterfall. You could get a local landscaper to sponsor it!
Is this a permanent home for the fish or have I missed you saying it’s temporary as I would’ve refused sale for three goldfish lol
House is beautiful, you have such nice spots to the right and left of your front door some flower beds too!! That backyard is stunning though!
Love the uploads!
Your yard is so sunny and bright! You need some trees. Beautiful and full of fun possibilities. Ponds are so great, I hope you get a chance to put in your big one. I would love to see you scape one.
Frankly I’m surprised to see his grounds being so foliage-free. Not that I expected a thatched roof and ivy-covered walls but everyone I know in the UK with any workable outdoor space has a wonderful garden, the English are renown for it. I get the feeling that wifey isn’t the “outdoorsy/gardening” type.
Hello from NZ!
I've never seen your house before and it felt weird being in a more personal area haha I don't know why but yeah.
You can absolutely put ricefish outside. I've had them outside for 2 years. They never saw the inside of my house. They've been in 100+F with 90+ humidity to frozen with ice in a container much smaller than that. They breed in all conditions.
Omg. I pray that when you decide to do a natural pond, you can somehow collab with Tanner from SerpaDesign. He’d have a field day with you building one.
Beautiful English scenery!
That sized garden is just asking for a big pond build.
Or a new studio to go up so your work is on your doorstep!
Nice little kit though and something I could squeeze in my terrace yard!
Now that is a nice crib 👌
awesome as always...so glad you explained light and darkness now I fully understand lol
Loving the pond!! I'll do it one day so it's great to see it
Was nice to see some of your house lovely good job and well deserved MD 👍
Love it as always! ❤
You are living the life man
Looking forward to the pond build
Nice pond, the mini bog filter is super nice... and the surface agitation will take care of all the oxygenation, so the oxygenating plants will be out of work!
I think the pond is a big small for Comet type goldfish, three fancy goldfish would be better.
I don't know if there is some legal issues, but Rice fish would absolutely work in the pond.
So would for example White Cloud Mountain Minnows or Zebra Danios.
The pond is a perfect size for a rather big shoal of either of them.
Of course, they would need to be kept inside from mid autumn to late spring, because the pond could freeze over, killing whatever fish in it, including goldfish.
I have a 90L (~22gallon) pond that I made from a mortar tub that’s isolated with insulation foam and covered with some wood panelling.
Perfect to keep and breed various types of fish outside or even just to breed a bunch of live foods.
Three months ago I put about 20 daphnia in my pond and now it’s filled with them. Just one swirl with a net gives me a ton of live food that’s perfectly healthy and didn’t cost me anything. I don’t even need to feed them since they consume algae that’s naturally growing in there.
This video reminds me of the olden days. But I love the videos MD!
Love your set up but there are definitely more stocking options if you are willing to winter it indoors . After visiting Thailand and seeing massive plant pots filled with plants and guppies ,then every ditch filled with wild guppies I decided to set up my own . I'm Scotland based so MUCH cooler and keep my guppies outside for half the year almost, moving them into the garden room when it started to get cooler . They are surprisingly hardly over the 4/5 years I've had it only lost a few to old age . It's a 900mm across terracotta pot with a huge bunch of lillie's and no filter, probably around 50 guppies in there just now . The population is self regulating , as the numbers get low more young survive . They also get a little bigger outside for some reason
Should have out some white cloud mountain minnows in there.. they'd love it
I live in Southsea and every morning on the way to work I pass a moat that has a large colony of marine sticklebacks and I can watch them for ages. I think at the first opportunity I shall buy a patio pond kit and get myself some 3 spine sticklebacks. Fascinating behaviour and the breeding males are very beautiful.
House goals
Idk that i will miss Maidenhead Taunton badly. Love to see Martin again!
Awesome video! Lovely house!
I love the pond and look forward to seeing the build of that big one in your garden.
I applaud your decision to keep the kids off the videos for their safety.
It is very silly you don’t have any fish tanks in your man cave/bar… come on MD YOURE THE KING YOU GOTTA PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!!! LOLLLL!!! 😂😂😂
Nice one especially for people with smaller homes or apartment balcony. After this, maybe a backyard pond build next? I mean, thats a large backyard area you have there with a beautiful open background. 😜
That is an amazing build. I was looking for a nice easy pond build for my porch and yours was the first video. PS you seem like a lovely dad, your kids must be so lucky to have you!
I really hope the fish aren't" floating in the bag" lol 😂
Wow your new house is amazing, well done the hard work pays off 🙂
Nice house great video love the pond👍👍
Awesome work Sir!
MD three things, firstly beautiful house. I think most of us are thinking you or Kate should do a finance video now XD but lastly you should treat your decking. Looks ATM to be a raw finish which will suffer in the long term. If you leave it unfinished it looks nicer and brighter but will crack more easily with heat exposure and rain.
I loved this video! Nice to see something a little different. :)
I remember when I first started watching your channel and you had the tanks in the sheds, bit of an upgrade in garden since then, so much space! Good for you guys, it's been great watching you and your channel grow over the years. All that work paying off. 👌
That would honestly be perfect for our screened porch/winter garden, whatever it's called area. The humidity is way too low and who doesn't need extra space for fish and plants :D
I was going to suggest a light for underneath the "waterfall"... Glad I waited to finish the video first. 😁
This is my second season with container ponds. I'm big into gardening, I wanted a water garden with lily's, irises and water hyacinth. They look stunning.
This year I have 2 ponds, and 2 planted out bird baths. No filters other than the plants. I tried to build one, but it failed miserably, a plumber I am not. The water is clear, no algae. I have solar pumps in all, 2 in the 110 gallon, for aeration.
No fish, cause I have nowhere to put them in the winter. I would love a few fancy goldfish, but winter's in Michigan require the fish to be brought inside. I don't have an inground pond with a 4 ft depth for koi, which would be necessary to winter them outside. I got plastic floating fish for now. Plus with my health right now I'd feel like a giant shitbag if I died and no one remembered to take care of them.
Last year I had 6 water features going. I slimmed down this year because I was supposed to have surgery next week, but my heart's gone bad, so it's been postponed. I pared down all my gardens this year.
Enjoy summer tubbin !
Next time you visit Portugal, you should do a little meet and greet. Loads of fans of yours here, would love to shake your hand a share a Sagres with ya👍
I know you have an impressive house, like any influencers out there. But, the acre is unbelievable.
Beautiful pond! I need to get it for my home =D
Awesome
Living luxury that youtube money bro
you need to get a fully planted ecosystem pond!
