@MDFishTanks I just wanted to thank you, I found your channel a few months ago and after not having kept fish or turtles for about 15 years, I now I have 5 fully planted beautiful aquariums that I put together based on a lot of your videos, and a pair of baby musk turtles of my own in a 60 gallon planted paludarium.. you’ve created a monster, can’t thank you enough for the hours of content and inspiration you’ve created. Amazing job mate keep it up:) sending happy thoughts and positive vibes your way from the U.S.

I think MD should do a new tour of the fish studio. So much has changed in the past few months.

Great build video! Obviously I was there when it happened 😆 but so cool to see everything come together in a well edited 30 minute video. Thanks again MD and can’t wait for the next one!

Beautiful tank, but while it may be 'low tech', it's definitely not entry level budget friendly at all. I get what you're saying with the whole 'spend the money at the start to help avoid issues like ammonia and algae etc', but it's honestly not realistic for a lot of people starting out to spend hundreds on substrate and hardscape and plants. Most people will get 1 piece of wood, maybe 3 rocks, and a couple of bunches of mixed beginner-friendly plants plus something like a java fern.

Would love to see you do a true entry-level build where you set a realistic beginner budget and organise the build from that. You could do monthly updates to see how the tank is growing and developing over its first year. That would be super helpful for people to follow along with while doing their first planted tanks, like a mini-series.

Coffee made feet up and MDs on awesome, got you on the big tv.

''Budget'' is of course a relative term entirely dependent upon your disposable income. I appreciate that the cost of the kit varies depending where you buy it but it averages out at around £110 to £130 which seem pretty good value considering you have filter, lights, background, everything except the heater. I'd be interested to know what the retail price of those two pieces of wood and the 'only' 10 pots of plants were. I really thought you might give us a breakdown at the end of the video as to what it would cost for us to replicate what you have created.

A new MD video makes any day better!! Love your vids!

You are always inspirational! I first started watching your videos about 8 weeks ago.... as a result I now have a 20l planted tank with Dwarf Neon Rainbows, Cardinal Tetras, Merited Snails, and Panda Cory's! Thank you so much for helping me get started on this wonderful journey!❤

Love over at AG, we have been loyal customers for a while now and fortunately only live 35 mins away. Great advice and service from Dave and the team.

Just bought a Twinstar SA light from Aquarium Gardens, arrived next day and transformed my aquarium. Great service.
I too struggle with hard water and having recently moved from a soft water area I can tell you it's chalk and cheese. So many more options with soft water.

Hey MD, I want to say thank you. After watching your videos I got the confidence and knowledge I needed to ditch the plastic plants and try planting out my tank. I have so enjoyed the process and the best bit, my fish love it ❤

[jamesowens]

Great tank MD! You should tell Superfish to get on to the States.

i dont have any fish tanks but this channel is my comfort channel i watch all the time during work and playing games:)

[chrisweston]

Excellent video. Wish aquarium gardens was closer to me. When I did my 5ft tank all the plants, substrate, sand etc came from them and it was top notch. Plants were outstanding

[faedoyle]

I am forever grateful for Kate because you doing this has brought happiness to my life. Thank you both for all you do for the hobby.

NOTE: NUTRA BASE cannot be shipped to US or Canada because in contains ingredients that are not allowed through customs. Really too bad.

It's been years since I've had a tank, but my go to filter was the Aqua Clear. I ran the 70 on my on my 30 gallon long tanks and would run the sponge, some bio media and a polishing pad. They also had 'under gravel filter' setups for additional biological filtration and because I had those set up with one way valves into a T so that I could have normal AC air pumps and DC air pumps that automatically kicked on when the mains power went out and ran off a pair of D cell batteries. I might need to change the batteries, but those tanks were safe for days without power and that did happen because of hurricanes.

Love Dave hes a great guy spoke to him over the phone a few years ago about some stone and he was really helpful also when i need to re-do my plants i only buy from him the quality is excellent, one day i might make it to his shop as i live quite a distance away unfortunately.
Love this video and all your content.
