I have to say.... I'm a wife and I'd love it if my husband would do this with me.... Yes. Even baking the dirt in our oven!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Super happy that I found your channel!!! I can't wait to try to make one (or more) of these for our home. ♥️😊💯❗
I’m blown away by your ability to produce professional videos and yet be completely free and easy with us. Super content and, if I may say, you are as easy to look at as your creations. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is amAZING. My two favourite things about aquariums in one, hair grass and shrimps. We don't have any aquarium stores in my place,so I use a glass jar. I planted some hair grass I found in the fields and a shrimp my friend caught for me from the river. This video is just awesome. Can't wait to see the shrimps in it
I've learned more about fish keeping, aquascaping, general inspiration, from any other youtube channel than this one. Thats by no means saying there aren't other good ones out there, but your videos, your dispositions, your overall energy in your work is not only informative but very entertaining as well. Love love love your videos man, been a quiet subscriber for many years now :)
Got my dad a fish tank with aquasoil.... He took my moms noodle strainer to wash the soil when i wasnt around... Hahahahhaha. Mom came back and flipped
MD, I'm quite a seasoned aquascaper and got to say i love your approach. I wish i found you when i got into the scene about 10 years ago! even the most seasons aquascaper can find so much inspiration and help from your videos. cant wait to get scaping some nice simple bowls!! thanks dude
Second time watching this video and thank you for answering the question about using dirt I was having. Just a little bit under the substrate!! 👍 I'm the wife that will be baking the dirt in the oven and have a husband come in and ask what I'm cooking and want to taste it 😂😂😂
This is why I started to follow this channel. A simple set-up and very inspiring to do it yourself. I still prefer the nano no tech scapes but I love how the channel evolved. Shrimps are my favorite!
Laddie ! Ye have some spectacularly gorgeous tanks. Just lovely. I got me first fish aquarium when I was a wee lad of six yrs old. Me mum had them many years afore that. I'm now going on 63. Videos like yers make it as fresh as when I was nigh but a child. Thank ye. 🍀🐟🐠🍀
Great video, MD! This was a very enjoyable sort-of back-to-basics tutorial, and I really appreciate your focus on using materials that you can pretty much acquire from around the house, or a quick trip to the hardware store (plants excluded). That bowl came out really well, and I look forward to following its progress, and maybe even scaping a bowl of my own. Keep up the good work!
“That looks rubbish.” ??? Honestly, I was looking at that with a sense of calm and peace, almost with an outward smile and your comment startled me. Cool, cool stuff.
Great video. My partner has decided that now is the time to find out what all the fuss is about, so I've given her my first ever bowl to re-scape! First task, get her to watch this video!! Thanks so much! 👍
Was thinking straight away how my missus would react when baking the soil. Good thing you put the disclaimer you must have saved a few lives! Love your vids mate keep it up 👍
I just found your channel today and let me say.....THANK YOU. It was very serene and satisfying to have you take viewers through a tour of your beautiful aquariums.
1st Job MD'ers...like the video for me. It helps more than you know! Can we hit 2000 likes??? So these little no filter nano aquariums are my favourite. I really like the bowl aquariums as well as they are particularly challenging given the magnification the bowl creates. Hopefully you enjoy this one guys. I enjoyed it so much, there will be more no filter nano tanks coming soon :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓, 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁: ua-cam.com/channels/3uQXzXSPspf2LoGdtYGiHw.htmljoin Gooseneck Clip on lamp (similar as product is now discontinued) Disclaimer: Not designed for aquariums so use at own risk.

Very fine performance young man, I was hooked at the spot because I work with fish bowls for decades. They were some time forbidden by law in Germany. My first aquarium book, published 1929 read by me 1972,shows many things you did . Small amount of normal garden soil baked out and covered it with sand and fill it with mature water, sometimes I give a cup of caiman water on top. Today I run a bowl roughly double the size of yours with a cheap lamp the only technical stuff. Housed is a 7 to 8 years old Betta, a retired natural blue wild one with two inches tail... Built my first gadget to clean the glass out of a champagne's butt and piece of sponge. I apologize, it's a novel wrote, all the best from Northern Germany Ludwig.
You inspired me to try this type of tank. I now have 4 of these small no filter, no air tanks. They are doing great. My lime green endlers are breeding in their bowl. My old betta, Earl, is happy in his cube. My celestial pearl danios and my emerald dwarf rasboras are doing great in their respective cube tanks. All are 4 gallons and under.
I absolutely love this bowl!! I am going to try this as my first one!! Your passion for your tanks is so wonderful to see! From. The plantain to the fish etc. Is contagious🧡
@@definitelynotyuribezmenov7611 " grounded for week".. bro when i was a kid i was grounded for 1 year, did not leave house or played any games for 1 year
Some close-up slow-motion shots of the rainbow fish would be awesome to see. Looks like they've grown nicely and they're showing more colors. The bowl might become my new favorite along with the rainbow river by the way :)
Greetings, I just wanted to say that I have been following you for a long time, not from this account from another, and I wanted to say that you are super talented. yours and newer how hard. I make terrariums as a hobby and as a small business and it was not very hard, but it's so hard when you start filming and editing, I just want to tell you that you have my respect for everything you do, you're great :)
MD....your work is simply amazing.... beautiful. Who coined the phrase, "Simplicity is genius?" At 74, I am just getting back into aquariums and am amazed at how far things have come. My problem is finding decent hardscape and decent fish. The big box stores are rubbish and unfortunately, all locally owned stores have closed. I am looking forward to binge-watching your content .... you have an amazing talent.
Looks good! I'll have had my No Tech bowl for a year in September. And while it's gone through some transformations it's been really successful & wonderful to watch. I used the Walstad Method and it has worked out pretty well!
Hi! I'm interested in your method and progress. What plants did you use and did you have any fauna (shrimp, snails) added? If so, what point did you start adding?
I do have to say, I took inspiration and a few similar concepts to make a planted bowl just like yours. I'm still a bit new on being an aquarium owner in general, but hope to make beautiful aquariums just like yours. And more along the way.
I always wanted to make my own mini ecosystem in a fish bowl and your video is so educational and gives great tips 🥺 I'm on a budget and I feel good knowing that I don't need to spend that much money on it after all! Thanks a lot!! Although I do think I'll still buy the led lights for aqua plants after all 😅
I love how you decorated your little aquarium! You are gifted with a amazing talent! Your other tanks are also beautiful! I have a 5 gallon beta tank . And l have looking for ideas! Thank you for your sharing all of your tips.
Excellent video, this is a really nice simple bowl scape and looks great. This isn't one of your best scapes but I think this is one of your best videos, so much great advice and information. And you using kitchen stuff and the wife comments were hilarious, we have all been there haha. And you are absolutely right about being able to put some nano fish in a bowl this size, I have 4 embers and a colony of shrimp in my planted bowl this same size and they are thriving, the fish display the exact behavior you are talking about, so active. Good luck with the UG, such a challenging plant but that would be awesome if you got it going in such a simple setup. Looking forward to more updates on this and all your other projects. I've been subscribed since you were at 5k and you have quickly become one of the best youtubers in our hobby. Well done and thanks for putting out so much great content.
Quick question Im a total beginner. Can I build exactly this build without pump and still have some nano fish inside ? I dont want a big build just something small for my office table.
Thanks! I have an old port glass shaped bowl that I was going to stick a fish in. You've inspired me and given me the knowledge to make it so much better.
Soil and me don't get along at all. Every time I plant, I mess up the substrate. So after a while, I ended up gluing the plants onto the logs and rocks so that if I ever needed to do a full clean for any reason, all I'd need to do is to lift the logs and the rocks. Easy to place back in too.
i bought yesterday here in the netherlands that grass u also using , they said it was also for cold water aquariums ! I'm using it now in an aquarium with baby gold fishes from my pond in the backyard.
Hi MD something so simple but draws you into looking more in depth. Thank you I hardscaped my tank yesterday & after watching this I’m going to take it all out & start again & keep at it until I’m extremely happy instead of just pleased. Thanks Tony
The utricularia graminifolia is a carnivorous plant and would make this tank impossible for beginners, like myself. Lol. Love your stuff. And so hilarious you chose this to add. I too like the look for this grass. Look forward to see how you manage it!
I love this video. Am a newbie and want to make my first bowl just like this. But, how do I maintain it? Does it have to be drained and refilled every so often or....? Please let me know as this video is the inspiration I needed to finally try this week. Love the simplicity but so wondering about how to keep it. Thanks!
Not much maintenance besides the first week do a couple 50% water change in case of ammonia spike then after its established just do 25% water change every week
Beautiful set up, I'm brand new to scaping so taking in as many instructional vids as possible, loved the dirt from the garden bit! Now when you talk about cycling, how can you cycle without a filter? Does the beneficial bacteria grow on the hard scape rather than on the filter media in this kind of set up?
Every tank, whether Salt or freshwater gets algae. If you UV it the tank is clear. I got back into the aquarium hobby with a 2.5 gallon Jar from Walmart. My substrate came from a creek. It was hugely successful, but I wanted more lol. Algae will always be
You have such beautiful artistic tanks! I appreciate this tutorial on setting up a small bowl which is about all I have room for. Always been interested in a mainly plant tank. Thanks . Also, what is it with aquarium channels and good looking men??
The fact that he actually did use the garden soil and work it out to still have a clear water... is just simply amazing
It's actually very easy if you put it in water for some days
Just amazing indeed

best way mate :)
Wow Love the plants you use in the tanks and the whole above water /below water vibe. Amazing!
The utricularia graminifolia is a carnivorous plant and would make this tank impossible for beginners, like myself. Lol. Love your stuff. And so hilarious you chose this to add. I too like the look for this grass. Look forward to see how you manage it!

MD Fish Tanks
Thanks 🙂 appreciate it
I love this video. Am a newbie and want to make my first bowl just like this. But, how do I maintain it? Does it have to be drained and refilled every so often or....? Please let me know as this video is the inspiration I needed to finally try this week. Love the simplicity but so wondering about how to keep it. Thanks!
Not much maintenance besides the first week do a couple 50% water change in case of ammonia spike then after its established just do 25% water change every week
so beautiful bowl setup. dirt bowl is awesome idea. plants selection is so good. keep it up. md tanks is best in all.
Beautiful set up, I'm brand new to scaping so taking in as many instructional vids as possible, loved the dirt from the garden bit! Now when you talk about cycling, how can you cycle without a filter? Does the beneficial bacteria grow on the hard scape rather than on the filter media in this kind of set up?
The dirt steps is amazing!
Shocks I love your work! Keep going!!!!!
Love the simple round rocks, super cute
Every tank, whether Salt or freshwater gets algae. If you UV it the tank is clear. I got back into the aquarium hobby with a 2.5 gallon Jar from Walmart. My substrate came from a creek. It was hugely successful, but I wanted more lol. Algae will always be
Dude , that looks great!
Very nice! Was thinking of what to do with my big glass bowl like yours and what you did is a great idea. Thx!!
You have such beautiful artistic tanks! I appreciate this tutorial on setting up a small bowl which is about all I have room for. Always been interested in a mainly plant tank. Thanks . Also, what is it with aquarium channels and good looking men??
this guy makes me wish to be one of his fishes to live in these beautiful tanks
Oooh! I can't wait to do this in my new apartment!
