It's been ages since I did a nano no filter aquarium. I was looking at one of the oldest tanks I have and felt it needed freshening up. No filter planted tanks are always fun to watch. They can be hard to get right and balanced but when they are, you get a great sense of achievement.

"If you don't like doing maintanance on your tank, don't get a fish tank"
Md Fish Tanks
I don't know why comment this now but I was just thinking about how much I love your channel Md, lots of love from Belgium.
Hello from Belgium too :) MD, keep it going!
I always get a little rush of excitement when I see that notification pop up 😭
Saaaammmeeee
Omg same. I am always screaming "YAYYYY MDDDDDDD" hahaha my husband already is totally annoyed of me doing it all the time haha
haha. Thanks girls lol.
I love your smaller tank set ups. The larger ones are fun to watch, but for some reason the smaller ones are the ones that I enjoy the most. Also that is an impressive shelf full of API product.
Md you really are my favorite youtube personality, not just in the aquarium scene although the educational aspects of your videos are amazing as well.
thank you :)
Every time I watch your channel, alI can think is; “how does a man stay married and get away with having so many aquariums“..!!?
Awesome job as always! I can live vicariously through you...
he has two studios which im presuming isnt in his house stay safe
Absolutely love the simplicity of some of your tanks. Love your enthusiasm and you are so entertaining to watch!
Yes yes yes couldn’t wait for a md video. I’m thinking of picking up a 40g breeder and doing a tetra tank kinda like a mini amazon tank
In my opinion, this combination is a perfect color splash, the flashes of red from the fish are perfect among the floaters and against the neon greens of the grasses...it is just so pleasing to the eye...awesome job...!
Lovely tiny tank... So cute. And such wonderful bright colors on the plants and the chilli rasboras are now to scale. Looking lit 🔥 love it.
The only problem with this video is that it makes me think that I could easily do this myself. 😂 MD makes it look so effortless.
Yeah, lol!
RIP ikebana tank! , I loved that tank when you first made it, and the other one you did for your betta, it inspired me to do one for my Betta. but this new scape is also lovely! 😊
The neon tetra tank with those roots look so sick! frogbit too have big round leaves. I love it. Gonna do that biotope myself soon.

Some people had said this tank is too small for the fish and I’m confused. Is it?
@@elvisisswag1349 i think its the minimum honestly and if you keep the water quality and verything good then its alr
@@elvisisswag1349 it’s important to pay lots of attention to setups that are so small, everyone here hasn’t taken into account that this is pretty much his full time job, so he changes the water almost daily, measures the water quality that often as well, and he has the ability to quickly correct any issues that occur.
It’s like how some people call keeping a big dog in a city apartment, you can be cruel by doing it, but if you give them plenty to play with and take them for walk’s every day then there’s nothing wrong with it
The production value and chillnes of your videos is amazing + thank you on actually writing the names of the plants
I love your videos. You’re natural, likeable, funny, and you make me feel happy. Thank you. 🤗🇬🇧
MD! Your tanks and videos are absolutely amazing! I am hoping that you can do a video on a planted tank for beginners, the substrate,lighting,and maintenance for maintaining such a beautiful healthy planted tank!
Cap it with some SAND!🎬👌🏻 sick bars bro hahaha Enjoyed the video mate👍🏻
haha. I'm like a legit rapper.
Your videos are some of my favorite. I enjoy your sense of humor, you definitely crack me up from time to time. Thanks for the hobby inspiration.
Love it! This is the inspiration I needed for my 5gal redo. Thank you!
That is the most spectacular tiny tank ever! Great ideas, great advice, great music even!
I enjoyed your video very much. I subscribed to your channel blessing to you from Ga.
Ordered a hoodie! Such a cool design, can't wait to receive it. You inspire me a lot, not only with fishkeeping but also with having a positive attitude and getting stuff done! Thanks MD for inspiring us all
I agree that’s exactly how I feel as well
@@brookebiddle6199 just get on with it, get cracking! :)
Love this little tank. I have started gathering equipment for a similar desktop project the no filter option lends itself well to this purpose. - would be my first no filter/dirted tank thought... so I am about to go down a rabbit hole of research! 🐟
Love the new tank! Always excited to see that you have posted a video
I absolutely love chilli Rasboras. I've had 3 of them in with my community tank for 2 years. In that time I've been looking for more, but haven't found any! Im not sure why. They are wonderful peaceful fish. They mind their own business and look so unique. Their small size is a bonus.
Wow such a beautiful natural looking scape MD. super informative thank you xxx
I just started watching your videos yesterday and today I'm starting from the very first video you uploaded. Awesome content!
Dang I remember watching you make no filter tanks like this and being so shocked when you started talking 😂 I believe I started around the Blue Lagoon aqua terrarium and was hooked by the “welcome to hell” scape. That feels so long ago
I feels like 2 seconds ago for me. As ou know Toby, each video requires a ton of time and editing and everything so I can remember what I was doing when most videos were made. Feels like 2 seconds ago I had that little sideboard with the ecosystem tank on top and the nanos below it.
Love the simple scape looks amazing 😁
That hoodie is lovely💯 I just purchased mines. Thank you! All of the tanks look amazing MD.
I loved the red pop up against the green. This is also turned out to be an amazing scape.
I've been watching your videos for a month now and I am amazed by how beautiful and well kept your tanks are, with or without any filter or effort!
I am buying a new tank soon and it's identical to this one so I'm very excited to start a new aquascape thanks to you! 🙌 very cool!
Ah, one thing: what are the parameters of your light on this small tank? I'd like to know so that my plants will grow healthy 😅
The late night video release timing keeps me up at night. Watching them sleepy at night and then again the next morning! Greets from Tokyo.
You're such a creative artist with every single of your scapes 💙
Love & respect from Honduras, cheers 😊
Just love your Landscape creations
I just knew you recently,I am loving all of your videos that I have watched! Great Job!
Love you md!! Just set up my fish room and aquascaped two of my 20s yestwrday!!
So happy to see another Tiny Scape!
I love these micro tank tutorials
Little grass patches looks natural, very Zen.
Love your fishtanks!
The chilli rasboras were such a perfect stocking choice for the tank, they match the red hues of the tank and stand out in the green patches
But these fish live in a slow stream, kh about 0, very dark water and with many shaded places! I think it’s a bit too bright, I keep mine with plants that don’t need much light and with a lot of leaves and osmosis water.
And need more then 3 gallons
The perfect stocking for the tank would be no fish at all. This way to small for fish, I probably wouldn't even put shrimp in there ...
Just returned watching MD. still amazing! ❤
I love how he explains it step by step
Hi MD I'm loving this scape and the merch looks supper cool!!! Keep up the good work!!
I think i love every single one of your tanks so far. Your plants look so healthy all the time! You should get some live streams going on some of your tanks so we can kick back and watch! :)
Chilli Rasboras are one of my favorites. Thanks. Liked
I have purchased a hoody and a T-shirt. Love the new design.
Thanks Fae. Im going to be doing some more as well. Hoody is one of those chunky thick ones so really comfy.
Ooo How I enjoy watching these videos, absolutely love the music 🐟
I love how your channel gives good vibes!
Love the teaching/build videos!
'Cap it w/some sand' the new Rap Band! LOL :) I found the perfect Buddha head for my 20 gal cube and it looks FANTASTIC!!! Thank you SO MUCH for that inspiration! I just was never completely satisfied with that tank scape until now, 'Serenity'. :)
Excellent work, great videos, great charisma ... This is a hobby that I love, greetings from Ecuador
Ever since i discovered your channel i change my hobby into aquascaping to i also take some of your ideas
Looks amazing. As always. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm striving to get my tank to look like yours. Well not exactly like yours, but we'll planted. Waiting for them to grow out. "Sigh"
I am definitely buying some merch. The T-shirts looks so good and such a good design with the discus good job MD. Love from Sweden
thanks mate. hoodies are so comfy and look great on :)
Thanks for sharing that we can and how to use garden soil for aquariums... this is really helpful since aquarium soil is really expensive here in this country ... 👍👍
Love all the red in this tank.
Thanks md for this video
Someone has done a language course for plant names. Awesome. Well done!
"Nano fish" does not automatically mean "nano tank". Even if they are small, they should be kept in a large group (at least 10-12 specimens), they are very active and need space to swim (at least 50-60 cm long tank). They also need a soft light and dark water.
PS: I love your chanel 😀
Oh man, just before Christmas I ordered a blue shirt from you, it arrived just after new year, if I knew you would have this amazing new design so fast I would wait for it
I absolutely love your videos!!! I have learned so much from you!! Truly, thank you!
simplicity is the best policy . good scape as usual
You always set up very beautiful aquariums❤
At 8:12 MD is jamming to his “cap it with some sand” rap.
Lmao I love your personality thx for keeping it in the vids!!
YESSSS MERCH!!!! BUT YOUR MISSING A CLICK SOMETHING SHIRT/HOODIE!
Yesss, back to the roots 👍😀
Chili rasboras like blackwater. Colors will “glow“.
I thought it was one of his old videos until I saw it was only a few hours ago!
Didn't watch the video yet, but i already press the like button, i love no filter tanks 😃
Me too 🙂
I. am. excited!!!
Looks good, keep it up man!
Great video always looks great ty! Cheers
Super Nice Tank set up
This is so cool, thanks for sharing!
Wow, gorgeous! So inspired
Beautiful tank, but also love the opening music ... very dramatic! 💖
Beautiful little tank
Another beautiful tank! Would love an ASMR build video or vlog 😍
Hoodie ordered!!! OMGOMGOMG! SO excited here in NH, USA! I want a T-Shirt that says 'Got Sand'? LOL!!!
loving the channel dude. :)
Beautiful!
Alright, I'm going to put my 55 gallon tank on hold and make a couple more nano tanks instead.
I really love these simple low tech scapes... I tried a no filter setup myself but overstocked the tank. The waterquality was perfect but it got murky all the time which is why I eventually added a hang on the back filter. But in the future I will definitely build a tank like that. Cheers from Germany
Man I wish I could speak German as well as you can English, I can hardly speak my own language ;-;
@@Griffin050A1t thanks mate 😘
@@UELG also, I’m kinda new to keeping fish, I had all this algae start growing. It’s just been sitting in the tank (it’s the tiny algae that settles in green slimy piles) do you think I can wait for it to go away of just get some algaecide on it
Although that sounds like cyano bacteria. Google that and natrual remedies. Cyano bacteria is tricky and there is no definit answer how to get rid of it. I had some a couple years ago. Decreasing light intensity and duration worked for me
Thanks, I’m looking into what could be causing it now. I really appreciate it :)
That looks so cool
This man said his wife not liking it doesn’t matter. You are playing on a dangerous line my good sir. I like it 🙂
I love your scapes
Where was this on Friday 😂. Really could have done with this for my 30x30, might have to redo it now. Another amazing tank @md_fishtank 👏
Hi md me and my dad are a huge fan we get all our ideas of you were defo getting some merch!
That might be a bit small for chilli rasboras... but the scape is amazing and good info on fish in cycles
IT IS way too small - chilli rasbora minimum 50L Tank...... 😕 and as a group fish he needs more Dudes, approximately from 10 or more!
@@michaelgepunkt yeah!
Agreed
Ahhh now the Neon tank would be perfect for 30!
@GoldenStarGamez I have had 1x Betta Splendens, Betta Hendra pairs, 9x emerald dwarf rasboras and 11x Cory Pygmaeus (only one species per tank!) Live and breed happily in 16 litre tanks. I use a 1 inch deep substrate at least 1 piece of wood and quite a few plants including red root floaters. If the tank is matured and you water change each week, you're good. You could have at least 10 chili rasbs or 5 rocket panchax in a 16l tank. Btw, I had a colony of shrimp in the tanks too. They keep the tank free of waste which reduces ammonia spikes. The trick is too introduce the fish a few at a time to allow the tank to adapt to the bioload. I hope that helps!
This summer you should dig up your backyard and do a koi pond
Stunning wee aquascape, you'll have to do an update a month in to see how much growth it has 👍
Keep them videos coming
Excellent
At 7:23 I got a glimpse of that INSANE shelf of products, mainly API! Im guessing you're getting merch but holey moley it makes you swem super prepared for every dang thing
This is like a dirted tank, the plants do really well with these set ups
Fish tanks are beautiful
I have a tank with the same dimensions and I'm doing something similar. Nanotanks are really fun
You should note that you have to make sure when you take dirt from outside, no fertilizers or chemicals were added in the last few years. And to bake it totally, to kill off any harmful bacteria that may be present in the soil.
Ur tetra tank is beautiful 😍👌🏽
Wow , i like it
