MD Do you ever get the opportunity to walk into your studio, feed your fish and Timmy, and just take in the beauty of your tanks? No work, just enjoyment?

[MyloSurber]

I have 3 tanks now thanks to you… started with a 5gal and very quickly sat up a 10gal about 3 weeks later, just setup my 29gal tank about 2 weeks ago. You gave me the multi tank syndrome bug! 😂

I’d love to see a video of how your methods have changed and what your current favorite method is for setting up a scape. I was watching (and following) your methods from a few years ago where you used organic compost, and I faced some of the issues you’ve mentioned about it being too strong. Later I realized you had switched to aquatic compost to avoid that 😅but I love your methods and would enjoy a video about what you’ve learned and how you’ve improved on your old methods

You should make water bridges for the fish to swim between all 3 tanks. Then you really can say it is an 8ft as it is technically one tank! xD

[chrisweston]

My only complaint with these videos is it makes me want more tanks 😅 really looking forward to seeing these come together tho 👌

[tree.]

Brilliant idea with the three tanks flowing together! I absolutely love the placement of the wood pieces. Looking forward to part 2.

[FreakyT]

Man your ability to come up with and then implement some really inventive and unique layouts is just flat out impressive. I’m definitely digging this build!

I just sorted out the hardscape for my new 49L tank. Plants arriving this week. Your tips with the pond compost have been a money saver! Loving your stuff!

[simongolding]

Love the triple tank scape😊! I'm worried about how on the edge of the blocks the end cabinets are tho, especially when you come to clean the glass inbetween the tanks! The blocks may tip up, but if you put a piece of timber between the base of the cabinet and the blocks it's sitting on, it would eliminate the risk of the blocks trying to flip up! I'm not criticising your work MD❤😉, I'm only worried, and would hate to see any disasters! Keep up with the Inspiring designs!!

Your evolving substrate thinking is very interesting, pond soil works great for me (though an expert from PFK, admittedly, some 25 years ago, told me to keep it for ponds), though I do not have tap water with a low pH, but I find you are right, for most stem plants a pH below 7 is highly beneficial, but I do inject CO2 and lower the TDS. I find Superfish lights a bit mauve in colour perhaps 2000 too blue on the Kelvin scale, I get a lot less bothersome algae with a Kelvin rating around 4-5000. Very interesting project.

I can't wait to see the final result. I love your ideas. The wood going through the tanks will be beautiful.

[mabbzie_]

I suggested this sort of idea a while back with your nano shrimp setups, splitting wood between multiple tanks to give the effect of one large tank. Must say I'm so glad you're doing it and on such a huge scale, it's going to be impressive! Excited to see it progress!

MD u show ur 3 hours of efforts in 30 secs!! U just make it look so easy, like anybody can do it.... Believe me, ur energy is unmatchable for many!!! God Bless and Keep Shining!!! One Man Army!!!

[katya]

When you started naming all the stuff you wanted to get rid of, I was sitting here saying, keep it all. And 5 seconds later you were using the blocks!! Again, keep everything!!🎉

[GLP_Aquatics]

I think this is probably my favourite project you have done. And you have lots of great ones.

Super cool 👌 😎

[velasquezjoel]

I think it’s time for a apisto update video for all us new to the hobby, you got my friends into keeping apisto’s now I’m following and doing a build 🤙

[Skyfishprince]

This guy popped one day in my feed out of no where. Never though about fish before but after that video was hooked lol.

[eugenb.]

Love the pond compost idea. Will definitely try this as I rescape my aquariums later this summer

[fernedowns]

Md, could you do a shallow River aquarium for hillstream loaches like you have before

Bye the way I liked how you showed us what you were eating, it looked delicious 😊
