can you make a update vedio on timys tank?
Boil your wood for an hour before you put them in your tank and that will remove a lot of the tannins, preventing the water from turning brown.
Rummy nose tetra please ❤❤❤😊😊
I'd put those panchax in for the top and some cories for the bottom, and a feature fish. I think that would be a good balance. Personally I would not put in any endlers nor cardinals.
And what about floating plants? Some frogbit or red root floaters maybe?
This needs 150 pygmy corydoras just a big ass school!!!
I would love a live static camera of just the shot from your couch where everything was dark and all we could see was the tank with maybe just some background music. That would be such an amazing escape. I'd just leave that on and never stop watching.
Lid on is the right choice on this one!
Looking forward to seeing this in a few months.
A school of silver hatchetfish would look awesome in that tank. That tank is awesome I want one like it in my living room!!! Nice work
Good call bro super underrated fish
Yes. Perfect top action. Endlers are lovely, but hatchetfish would fit the theme and the mood of the tank better.
I'm new to fish keeping so i had to Google "Silver Hatchetfish", That is a funky/cool looking fish
I was gonna say either silvers or marble hatchets would be amazing!
@@itsmemako7256 Big Belly Bad Boys
glass cats are always a nice addition, hatchett fish too ...... lazer cory's and amanos are fun as well LOOKS EPIC
What a stunning tank! I would love to see a video with calming music with hours of just watching your fish tanks. let us chill with you. Beautiful job and what a great video.
I have some feature fish suggestions!
A pair of pearl gourami to cover top to mid portion and 3x pairs of German blue rams to cover bottom to mid.
Pearl gouramis are definitely an understated but gorgeous fish especially in a planted aquarium and quite peaceful as well.
They are one of my favorite fish!!
I had these and they can get big! They are absolutely beautiful.. they would fit perfect in this tank ❤️
I would like some bigger schools of fish. Double the amounts of a couple of the types of fish already in there. BUT . . . Sit on it for a month or so before making the decision, so your vision can clear.
I think some nice vibrant honey gouramis would look nice
Rummynose tetras would have been PERFECT in this. Their tight schooling would have been gorgeous; I'm never getting many tetra species because they simply don't shoal closely, they do their own thing. It's why I love rummies so much.
You should make a blind tetra tank with a cave in the bottom of the tank for them :) would be awesome
He did make one 3-4 years ago. I actually just watched it earlier today. Great video.
Haven't seen Gourami on the channel in a while. You could get a nice variety of medium sized ones in there. Pearls and moonlights would look great.
I thought so too. Moonlight not recommended as they eat soft plants.
Go with Congo tetras! They get long, glistening iridescent fins and they school well I think they’d look great in the tank
School boy error on the FX6. You've got to mod the filter with more and better media for a tank that size also get yourself some sponge pre filters otherwise there's alot more maintenance when running large size tanks with that much organics. Look up Pondgurus pimp my filter series for FX6. With the additional UV light filter you've added, a little more mechanical filtration would help keep things sweet.
Im old school so i prefer a lid.
As you said, it frames it.
Your tank looks a thousand times better with the lid, im sure some will disagree but not me !
Maybe give some thought to penguin tetras as they look amazing shoaling together with their black lateral line veering off to the lower tail fin. The optical illusion and their swimming style makes them look like the
"sink and draw" method of a fishing lure !
(ooh ooh ooh , red eyed tetras aswell) !!!
To be honest, at first i was a bit worried about the tank being filled with a lot of empty spaces but i'm incredibly impressed of your plant choices and aquascaping skills ! Congrats on this amazing build !
So close to a million subscribers. We are so proud of you MD all the hard work and dedication you show us through your channel is crazy
This is incredible. What a scape. And definitely better with the lid. Congratulations, MD. Just beautiful.
Wow!! Absolutely amazing build. So peaceful to watch
Wow, wow, wow! This tank is flippin’ gorgeous! I could sit and watch it with my morning coffee all morning! Love it!
Congratulations MD. Can see how exited and proud you are of this one and so you should be. It’s absolutely amazing. Congratulations on an amazing tank and a fantastic channel.
I’m glad I found your channel. I’m almost finished setting up my tank. I’m getting ideas and encouragement from your videos, thanks
I love the effect of having loads of little fish in a large tank. It is truly serene. ❤
Big CO2 tanks are easy to find, just ask your local pub. In my case i go to the propane store down the road and switch out tanks. $40 (US) for a fresh tank, replace it once a year for my 55 gallon tank. Dont let those pressurized tanks scare you, they are just as safe as the yeast tanks.
Yeah dunno how those basic acid base science experiment kits are getting so much love.
It was a super popular plant DIY project ages ago and people realised they weren't worth it then...
Or talk to anyone that does some welding
@@jonathankool1997well it is fun to start with, butt after a some time getting a bigger set-up safes a lot of time
I would certainly go pressurised CO2 on such a large tank, far more control and more economical too.
55 gal tank:
Yeast=$60 a month
Or
Pressurized tank =$40 a year
Tbh, big shout out to you an all the hobbiest that do real planted tanks like this because it takes real dedication, and upkeep. Your videos are great!
Just Beautiful!! I could sit and watch this all day.
Just stunning - what an incredible build - it has been fascinating to follow. Really well done and thanks for all the advice you give which has been really helpful to me returning to the hobby after 30 years. So much has changed!
WOW! This tank is just gorgeous. Great job MD!
this is exactly the tank and style and stocking that i was inspired by for my tank. I set mine up MD style and it's my favorite place in the house! watching that end of the video was the first deep breath I've had all day. absolutly stunning work, super professional from concept to final product. always a joy to see.
Crank that co2 to the max to start off! Awesome work, MD!
This truly is a dream tank 😀 I'm so happy for you. Thank you for the clips at the rnd, so relaxing! I could watch a compilation of your scapes over music for hours. Great job👏👏
Absolutely stunning tank MD, well done.
By Far the BEST!!!! Setup I have seen from you, absolutely stunning mate!!! WOW:) And kudos for getting it finished while being sick, good effort :) Keep up the good work bro!!
Get well soon! We love the tank it is looking spectacular 🙌
Loving the vibe, MD! Grats on the fish family finally going in! Been enjoying the entire start to finish series. Grab a gopro and sink it for us for an inner tank tour! Keep it up, love watching, as always! 😊
Great work with this set up , enjoyed the series so far . Loving how much bigger the tank is, so many fish!!!
Wow, it looks absolutely stunning!
FINALLY! This is so awesome! Been waiting for this since you first talked about it!
Absolutely stunning tank! You’ve done a great job on this, it’s a show stopper.
What an amazing tank!! I could sit and watch it for hours.
What a tank! It's fab! I agree (for what it's worth - it's your tank after all!) that there are probably enough small fish in there now, and it just needs a few larger ones. Whatever you decide, the finished tank will be amazing, like all your tanks are!
I know it sounds mad but the fish look like they are really enjoying the tank, they are much less frantic and swimming more calmly. Its stunning 😊
Great Job MD! Outstanding!
Looks beautiful 👏 glad your feeling better
thank you for sharing. and taking us on this journey.
The tank is beautiful and great environment for your fish to explore. I am inspired. I want to set up a tank with living plants now. Great job ❤
An absolute testament for your all learning and skills put onto one awesome huge stunning display I love ❤️ I look forward every week to your videos 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gorgeous! Get feeling better!
Thanks for the vid MD. We look forward to seeing you're videos🥳
Brilliant MD really enjoyed this build
Simply Amazing!, could chill with a beer and watch for hours 👌👍
Great job. Looks awesome. I'll be watching your updates. I like that you're putting smaller fish in there and not some monsters. Nice peaceful community tank is the best and most relaxing to watch in my opinion.
thank you so much for presenting us this amazing creation! just loved it 😍
Absolutely epic set up. You’ve worked hard in this one and it’s paid off. Awesome. Hope you’re feeling better now.
The hazy look is caused by a large amount of infusoria that’s eating the heterotrophic bacteria. It’s basically an all you can eat buffet. The bacteria they are eating actually consumes organic materials and converts them into ammonia. It takes a lot longer for the autotrophic bacteria to reproduce, but it catches up eventually. That bacteria is what consumes the chemical waste from the heterotrophic bacteria. As you surely know all the bacteria eventually settles onto surfaces and filter media❤
Thats stunning! Well done what a stupendous Aquarium.
It’s beautiful and relaxing, I would put some Angels in, but they are a favourite of mine ! And some underwater filming in there would be amazing !
Absolutely stunning MD ❤❤❤❤
Omg, gorgeous!!! So glad ur doing tetras. Phantoms are a favorite of mine, plus they put on a show all the time. This is my dream tank.
That is up there with one of the best tanks I've ever seen loves these kids from the start to this!!! Absolutely quality work as awesome md 🙌
So unbelievably jealous! Amazing work as always. What a beautiful scape.
I love it! Large tanks with schools are some of my favourite.
A masterpiece in my opinion. By far the best tank ive seen on youtube (i am partial to aquascaped big tanks with smaller fish).
Been watching for 4 years now.....amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Der Riesenpott ist wirklich super schön geworden! 👍Mit dem Fischbesatz solltest du trotzdem nicht übertreiben und nicht zu viele verschiedene Arten einsetzen. Ausnahme sind natürlich deine Skalare, denn die gehören in dieses Traumaquarium! 😉
Absolutely gorgeous! 👍🏻
Omg, it looks great!!
Absolutely stunning!! I think a good school of Pygmy Corys would be phenomenal
I look forward to seeing the progression of this tank, it looks amazing already!
Impressive Tank 👍👍👍👍👍. Enjoying the natural direction you’ve taken with you tank designs also .
Fantastic aquarium. A permanent 24/7 live stream looking down the length of this aquarium would be great to go to anytime.
Absolutely stunning ❤
Taking two dirty sponge filters and attaching them to your canister filter inlets would work to seed the media in the canisters with beneficial bacteria. Just sprinkling food in the tank is not very effective. You can cycle new tanks using ammonia, but only BEFORE adding fish. However, you have all those great dirty sponge filters already there - use them and protect your fish in the new tank.
When you put in the rest of the fish you need to think perspective. Coming in the front door you will immediately see the tank but you need half a dozen large fish that are visible from that distance. Getting closer then you need a few medium size fish that become 'visible'. When you get close to the tank is when the smaller fish become the focal point and the viewer starts to look at sections of the tank rather than the whole vista. The tank does look amazing.
Large fish eat small fish
Unless he puts in 50 or so schooling fish that would catch the eye immediately. Our park aquarium had a pond that ran from my thighs to over my head. They had hundreds of one or two of the flashier neons in there that were in three schools. They had miniature ducks swimming on top. That pond was 5 or 6 feet deep from the glass. I loved that thing.
I totally disagree with that idea!! 100 bad idea to put in b8g fish in this aquarium, keep them all nano fish then your tank will always look bigger..
Love the tank, thanks for the fish only section at the end!
Wow honestly absolutely amazing MD you totally smashed it with this build video
i love it, thank you for sharing this beauty with us.
I'm so inspired by you. You have given my husband many headaches as I build my channel and grow my fish room!
WOW what a tank! Respect!
U nailed it md!
Absolutely stunning
Thanks for more great content, loving that tank, better than TV… sit, relax and just get lost in thought and enjoying the fish 😊…
I've been waiting for this video, and it didn't disappoint! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT😍🥰! And I am so jealous! 🥰
You have done a great job, it’s beautiful.
The top definitely makes it looks better. That’s super nice
loving the look of the tank
I have no words that is just perfect
Perfect timing for this video
I really love the end reel. Wish all build videos on yt had that
Beautiful MD. Very nice work ❤
That’s amazing and huge 😮 thank you for the video you have given me ideas on how to set up now thanks again Karen from Australia 🇦🇺
That looks awesome, love it.
Stunning, well done ❤
Definitely have the tank with the lid on. It looks fantastic!
i wish my 6ft tank looked that nice. Well done MD, and keep up the incredible work!!
Good morning MD!
Stunning, lad. Well done.
Gorgeous!
Looking amazing as usual
