The smiling dog cut in totally made my morning, legit LOL!! Another great creation MD!

I love when you do builds that are easy to do for us who have budget/space constraints. I would really like to see you do an aqua scape using a regular old sponge filter - I’m curious how you might hide it while still making sure there’s enough filtration.

Thanks for being awesome!

I swear these little ecosystem might be the key to restoring others in the wild.

I set a thing up in a drinking glass - just big enough to hold a can of coke. Put inch of aquasoil with bit of root tab, and planted some sprigs of Elodea Densa I found in local pond. Just put in the window and changed 1/3 of water each day and it is growing fine. Even has a little snail that snuck in on plant. Its been up for about 6 weeks now and no algae issues

The clip of the dog was a nice touch. Made me feel better about giggling.
One of these days I'm going to get around to a small no tech setup like this. I love the idea.

Started 2 vase tanks following your method. Both thriving with plant growth and the shrimp are having babies. Thank you MD

I love small builds like this. My most successful planted "tank" when I first started out in the hobby was a 250ml glass bottle with rotala in it. It sat by the window and I barely ever touched it. It was dirted and I had to trim every 3 weeks. Really helped me with my bigger tank where I just scaled up the bottle. It even supported what I think was a bunch of Daphnia. They ate algae that grew on the sand cap and had a self regulated population. Never dosed it or put food in.

My father got me into fish keeping when I was a child. The way he showed me was to set the aquarium up with a layer of soil out of the garden and then about half an inch of gravel on top of the soil. And you know what, the plants always grew rampantly. And this is the way I’ve continued to do my aquariums throughout the years. From my experience with this, I’ve eluded that tanks don’t need all this tech like CO2 etc.

Please know that I can turn your videos on and my 8 month old is content. The vibrant shots and awesome music captivates him every time. 🎉

You make me feel calm as hell! Like your voice is so soothing to me and the content is phenomenal!!!

Quite a while ago I emptied my community tank (just wanted a change) and returned all my platies. After a few days I went to drain the rest and rebuild and I spotted a tiny fry. So he lived in a planted vase for a good few months. His name is Lucky, he has platie friends again now and a planted 90L to swim and play in.

Have to say though I absolutely loved when he was in the vase cause he was so small and I got to watch him grow up. ❤

Thank you! I never had an aquarium, I don't have the place or budget but I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to have a tiny tank with plants, shrimps and snail so I learnt a lot here!

[Paul-lihq]

MD absolutely killing it again 👍
Showing how easy it is to create a tiny environment which provides interest at utterly minimum cost.
I have done the same with only a little bit of sand and gravel sifted out of my local stream.. and a handful of the plants along with the snails, etc (so the beneficial bacteria is already there in the sabstrate and plants)...
Total cost: £2 for the vase from a local charity shop...
And this setup gives me just as much enjoyment as the 3 established aquariums I have already have at home (maybe even more?).

[jessip]

Holy hell🤣😂🤣 my drink just came out my nose 🤣😂🤣 that dog face caught me off guard🤣😂🤣 absolutely stunning tank as well❤️❤️❤️

[christianvinceneux]

I'm back in the hobby after a 6 year break 🎉
I discovered your channel about a week ago and I'm so impressed! I love your emphasis on creating beautiful aquascapes and planted tanks. You keep it fun and real. Youre giving me so much inspiration! Thanks MD!

[Hopeflowz]

I really love the small tank ones. Makes it seem more affordable for starters

[cathytice]

Thank you for this! I've had fish my entire life, but am now delving into plants, multiple types of fish, that sort of thing. I have accidental no- tech tanks, both involving small wild snails, plants and algea. You just taught me a ton!

[hannahcamac]

I set one of these up in my classroom and it's great. Just a little water top up each week and some extra food occasionally. We have shrimp, snails and neon tetras. The kids love it and so do I
