1st day of many! Can't wait to get this finished, it's going to be epic!!!

It looks like MD and Matt need a bigger studio already!

So glad to see the dynamic duo get more screentime now

Suggestion, put the shelves for the Hardscape and other supplies in front of the window. It'll be next to the door and in a central location for you both then. It also will filter the light that comes in a bit for you (less algae problems as a result of the stronger light and heat from the windows) but will also mean you can clearly see what's there at all times

I had the biggest most stupid grin waiting for matt to come through the door. Good luck with your project 👍

Man, I'm sat here on my own in the garden with a smoke, stupidly happy for the both of you haha, love it!! Dream Big... though, i can see the two of you relocating to a bigger patch soon enough ;)

Hi guys. With moving tanks, lift one side slightly, the other put a towel or blanket under feet of stand. Repeat on second side. Then slide tank to where you want it. Be careful of your backs! Love your videos! Hugs

Well this escalated quickly 🤣🤣🤣 Man this new chapter of MD is gonna be amazing. I laughed so much and I'm so excited. The dynamic of you two is gonna be so much fun.

My 2 faves together forever haha! Can’t wait to see it all happen ❤️

so all I'm hearing is a mancave but with extra fish tanks. That sounds EPIC. Can't wait to see where this is going

I’m DYING at you moving Timmy’s tank! The penguin waddle complimented by the flipper slapping sounds of your crocs 😂

You two really compliment each other. This was so much fun to watch, looking forward to the future!

"it doesn't need to stay like that" - Matt crying inside LOOOOOOOL you guys are a good crew. I hope it keeps this way! :D

Get a piano dolly for an upright piano. The two pieces slide under each end and you wrap a strap around. then they lift the heavy rectangle off the ground and you can roll it. You can rent them. My husband has a 6 foot tank and we move it once a year to clean behind it. This is the way we move it.

Amazon sells circular couch/furniture slides for hard floors that are very thin and large in 4 packs. If you lower your tanks, and lightly slip them under the stand corners, you can basically drag the tanks anywhere with ease and even alone! Just a vetted tip from your anonymous youtube commentator. Congrats on the first day with Matt in studio!

So happy for you two. Best wishes for success Loved you two moving the tank and shuffling your feet. Funny. Also loved the 'when to go to the pub's debate... Friday, really bad days or really good days. Very funny. All the best.

amazing gallery, love that you have someone working with you on all these tanks and scapes. they're all so beautiful!

So Matt has literally just bagged the best job in the world!! Good for you!!! 🖤💚💜

Welcome Matt ! So good to see you guys working together all the time ... the plant expert and the fish expert ... looking forward to many fun times of learning from you both.

I love Matts idea about the long scrapped tank next to the sofa!!!

Actually so happy for your success with this channel and its future. Just 2 pals having fun, educating and bringing first class content. Look forward to every upload.

You two guys are meant for each other. You both are high energy and love fish and aquascaping. Oh yea I left an important part out Lunches at the Pub. The shop needs an outside storage shed. Good luck with the new endeavor. 🍔🍻

Work is so much better when you have fun with it! Thank you for sharing the joy

What can I say I'm so looking forward to how the studio will start to move forwards especially with the new stock of tanks lights and so on. Well done MD and Fish Shop Mat. I've always enjoyed and learnt so much from both of you. Definitely moving forwards MD.

A wonderful double act, I can listen to your banter all evening. Thoroughly entertaining as well as educational and informative, love this format and look forward to both of you working together on future videos, well done 👏

EVERYDAY is a good day for the pub! Can't wait to see the FishShop MAtt in the USA videos lol

Honestly loved this one! Really happy you'll be working together like this ❤ was always my favourite part of your videos was when you went to see matt ❤🎉

I love the two of you together so much, so happy for this change. I've always loved Matt's appearances on your channel and I'm so excited that he will be around on a regular basis now. Such a great duo.

Congratulations on your first day with Matt as your business partner! Loved your video and looking forward to many, many more!!!! Wishing you two the VERY BEST!!!!🤗👍🏼👍🏼

This is so cool. It is just two buddies able to do what they love. Love the racing rig idea, LOL

I love Matt's idea for the end view deep tank. I've wondered how a tank would look like being specifically designed with that viewing perspective in mind.

Just got home from a cruise to hear the news you guys are teaming up . The fun and laughter you both bring to RU-vid is amazing and I’ve learnt so much just watching both channels and I can’t wait to watch as the studio starts it’s new chapter. Let the mayhem begin is all I can say. Can’t wait.

Looks like a massively productive first day. The place is going to look amazing. I would love to see some crossover merch. ❤

I can tell you guys are both so happy for this new season together! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with the studio !

What a great team. An aquascape expert and a fish expert. Gonna be an awesome setup once finished!

You both get along so well together. Is like not working just hanging out doing stuff and enjoying the fish hobby. Welcome aboard Matt, hoping the fish room wont be small for both of y'all or you'll be moving to a bigger location lol.

Enjoying this collaboration with you guys. Great shop and projects! Love it all.

Just what I'd hoped for! So fun watching you two work.

I've got a big car if you want to give me a job too MD, I'll do all the running around picking stuff because you're too impatient to wait for delivery 😂 can't wait to see more videos with you and Matt, you are both hilarious together

You can get little felt squares to slide the tanks around easily. Or they make little systems online for moving heavy things around. I'm just saying that with all the changes coming, it could save you both time for the pub.😂 keep it up, and don't stop dreaming of new changes. It's the spice of life!

i've just sat here and watched 30 minutes of you two moving tanks around a room and thoroughly enjoyed it. Love the new direction the channel is going.

That was fun to watch! Can't wait to see how the studio turns out once you guys get it all changed around.

Gotta love the "pub logic" - either a really bad day, or a really good day... OR it's FRIDAY! 🤣 Hmmm 🤔 , sounds fair 😂

Whoo! Welcome to the team, Matt! You guys did an amazing amount of work already; can't wait to see how it will all turn out! And it was so fun to watch, with all the shenanigans and jokes and silliness!😄The racing rig will be awesome too, you can control virtual submarines from it and explore all the depths!😂

You've got so much more space already! Looks amazing. Can't wait for what the future brings!

I love watching you guys interact. Very fun with loads of ideas and info.

You seriously had me on edge moving tanks in Crocs not in sports mode! Great episode loving it that you guys have united 'formally'.

So happy for you both! I have been following for a long time, your journey has been inspiring. I have learned so so much from watching your videos and I am so proud of my own tanks now! I enjoy seeing all that you have to offer and seeing you and Matt’s talents combined! Thank you for everything!

What fun the two of you had, but lots of progress made!! Makes for great videos.

I would get an outdoor sheed that locks to put extra stuff in! Like tanks, lights ,etc!

Lads, you have me pure giddy from your energy, looking forward to this

I love this! I’m so happy to see the future of the channel, the fish room, and whatever else is coming.

Watching this video and then thinking back to when I first started watching your channel when it was a few tanks in your garden shed is insane and equally motivating/inspiring... keep going MD (and Matt 😂)!

22:53 Look how hard MD cheesing 😁 He is happy to have his friends, no more loneliness

A new discus tank! Can't wait for that one!

Best first day ever. I can’t wait to see what day 2 will bring.

I really enjoy watching your videos! I discovered you when you had already created your previous studio so had to go back and watch all videos from the start. Your style and ability has definitely kept getting better and better the more you do. I cant wait to see the new era of MD and Fish shop Matt. Good luck and I look forward to futre videos.

So exciting it’s like I’ve just started a new job too!! 😂 would love to hear from Matt about what it’s like going from having a ‘normal’ job to working on a RU-vid channel!

Next time for Timmy’s tank put silicone down on the glass before you do the foam so it has something to grip onto

Welcome Matt! Hope you are having fun!

Two of my favorite fish guys around joining forces officially🎉🎉🎉

MD looks more like a normal person being in front of the one person he can be himself with

Matt showing up with his backpack was the coolest thing ever

I laughed out loud so many times, good job guys keeping the atmosphere light and the comedy unimpeded.

Would love a live feed to stop in and see what you guys are doing each day. Not like a structured video, just like I’m a fly on the wall! It could feel like we are part of it all! ❤️🇦🇺

Ah the bromance I never knew I needed. Smashing it fellas. Can't wait to see it all come together.

its amazing that you can help support your friends dream and offer him a job doing what he loves while still supporting his family! Remember, clear communication will divert from a lot of problems in the future. good luck to you two!

I'm so excited for this whole new adventure. You guys are gonna be great.

Matt is awesome, this channel just keeps getting better. I hope one day you get a big as tank do something awesome with it.

Hi From Barbados, Welcome Matt looking forward to getting more knowledge about fish keeping from you.

Hi from Denmark I'm a big fan of both, MD and Fish shop Mat channels. Black and White, are the ends off the Grey scale. And everything else, is in the couler circle. I have my own little shop, here in Denmark. I put up aquariums, in companies, or for private customers. And must confess, that I have done some copyes off Your scapes. Greatings from Denmark Frank PS. Sorry if my English isn't so good!

I've found that it's infinitely helpful to invest in a floor dolly. Just makes so much so more simple.

I am literally on the other side of the globe and I am so excited for these guys!!

This was so fun!! I’m so excited that we get more and more of these videos. Yay Matt and MD!

I think this is a great idea Matt has plenty of experience and you guys are funnier together the pub jokes were on point for men across the world 😂😂😂

You guys are such an awesome combo! Everything is going to be so successful 😊

Glorious chaos. Just what I was hoping for.

OMG this is great! 🎉

You guys need some tri wheeler dolly's, the shuffle shunty may work... but it's hell on your backs long term. looking good for day one!

Der Fischraum hat sich ganz schön entwickelt! 😮

Can’t wait for more videos! You guys should open a fish store too!

Put wheels under cabinets, also easier to clean the floor

WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE!!! FORM OF A PINT!!! Also, FORM OF A PINT!!! The perfect match doesn't exi....😂

Honestly you two are just brilliant together 😂😂

So good to see you two just able to have fun on your own time! I'm so excited for what comes next!

Excited to see what’s coming up next. Love watching both of you.❤

Yay 😁 it is weird how extremely excited I am for complete strangers lol

MD fish tanks(and matt) ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

EPIC MOMENT! EPIC TEAM!

Looks like Fern's growing up nicely!

Such a great dynamic from you two

Minimum fish tank stuff, no scaping 100% entertainment. I love this show

For some reason I’m LOL at you 2 scooting around moving Timmy’s tank 😆

I love reds under the Chihiros but it makes the greens look like plastic. Can't wait for the next!

Y’all two crack me up 😂…… great fun, keep it up.

Yes, tank triming. We're going to get to see the fish.

I would love to come and give you both some house plant lessons. ❤

You should build a trolley or some sort for transfering tanks and stands, like the one you made a while back but only for transferring tanks setups around

You two are fab together. I’m so happy that you’re working together. I love when you talk in a silly voice to Timmy MD and the “Wheeee” when releasing fish is funny too. On more thing, if you two are hitting the pub please vlog it for us 😂
