We decided to add a bit of pop to the Mbuna aquarium. Adding huge monstera plants brings the hight to 8ft tall! I think plants coming out of the aquarium always gives a massive improvement.

5:19 oh man, this might sound weird, but for a long time now, I've been really hoping to see Timmy basking. This made my day.

an unusual tip, take a white plastic coat hanger, clip-off the straight section and one curved end. Now sand the ends round. ( optional ) You now have a 14'' long white plastic Chase Stick ! Instead of two nets creating uprooted plants and reduction in maneuverability you can place one net too remain motionless and effectively 'chase' the fish into the awaiting net. The white plastic creates a stark contrast against the environment and the fish avoid it's presence. I knew a girl from a petshop that made all fish catching look 'so' easy using this method that I've used and promoted it for years. I hold the loop end and chase with the straight portion of the stick, which moves between plants quite readily ! Just give it a try, if after a few tries you don't care for it then ick-snay the idea !!!

I think it looks great! Re: the limnophylla- if you take half of the bunch on the left and put it in back on the right side- you'd have three small pops of that bright green and it would feels more balanced. I like small amounts as an accent color. A little hydrocotyle growing amongst the Monstera roots like you described would really balance it out.

Also, that one plant in your rainbow tank you can't remember is the Purple Waffle plant.

Please leave the Lymno in there. Love the light green contrast pop against the other darker greens.

I just realized that one of the appealing attributes of your channel is in its simplicity in the pursuit of fun. Bravo on the simplicity of enjoyment of the hobby.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius! You guys really have created the Platonic ideal of aquarium rooms. You can literally do anything you want to do! So glad I get to peek! GOOD SHOW, Gentlemen! Good show!

Only fish keeping creators i see that entertain so much without struggling 😂
Binge watching on this channel is so good ❤

For the monstera in pots, use the emersion method.
Fill a 5gal bucket with waste water from tanks, submerge pot about 3cm below surface of water, hold there until bubbles stop. Let drain.
Repeat when soil is dry to depth of about 5cm.
In the fish room, about every 10-14 days.
Free fertilizer from tank water makes them thrive and explode with new growth.
Mist them between watering, and wipe dust off leaves once a month or so. I use distilled water for misting and leaves.
I do use this method with virtually all my plants.

@MDFishTanks, you should make a “living wall” that’ll filter an aquarium.
They look so cool.

I know it’s been said a 100x but I do really love the dynamic between you and Matt !
You can tell your having a lot more fun having him around as someone to bounce off, discuss ideas and help around studio. It’s definitely shows in your content 😌

[violetbyers]

2:03 I don't usually actually LOL but I loled at that omg MD

[cameronfleming]

The Mbuna tank is my favorite tank in your studio. Love what your doing with it. In the future can you PLEASE give a update on the tank like how is the plants doing, what’s the hardest thing with the tank, and etc.❤

[danielcopeland]

I love it when the notification hits with a new tank video. My wife doesn't though, because then I wanna spend money on mine, lol. Well done fellas.

[cindystimson]

I think this tank is beautiful with all the plants and fish. Can't wait to see more new builds. Your technique is growing. Gotta love it.

[rpdx]

Pro tip. Use the aquarium water for your plants! It’s liquid gold.
Inside plants love it, and if you’re draining a tank water the landscape outside. 🥳

[rbuschgens]

I usually ❤ the builds you do, and I'm an avid watcher of this channel but to be perfectly honest, I'm not a fan of placing the monsteras in this tank. It's the one tank that had the potential to very different than the rest, a proper malawi cichlid tank, and with anubias, etc. and now the emersed ones, it's starting to look like all the rest. Sometimes less is more... 😉

[BadlydrawnBen]

Considering how many houses plants you have might be worth changing those ceiling lights to full spectrum grow lights 👍

[cichlidman]

Definitely digging the plants in the tank looks great!!
