Breaks tank down due to too many plants. Proceeds to rescape and plant ALL the plants... Haha. Looks awesome.

Ask your son to do a pufferfish drawing, put it on a tshirt with, "Lalalalalalala...". it'll sell like crazy, MD. Lol.

I'm old enough to remember screwing flood lights to homemade light stands, washing off driveway gravel, then collecting rocks from the overgrown, wild nature spaces.

"can you be drowned under water" Pretty much the only place you can be drowned buddy 🤪 Fantastic tank as usual, I absolutely love puffers, only got Pea Puffers myself but successfully breeding, would love a larger species one day when I can house them (maybe a spotted congo)

"They've been breeding, awesome." proceeds to vacuum it up 😂 jkjk

"lil baby Corie, they have been breeding, Awesome! SLUURRRP 😦🙁 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="354">5:54</a>

I love this design! Funny how the fish in the tank next door seemed to be watching the build 😁

The "forest" turned out amazing! Such beautiful footage at the end!

Quick words of advice, always thaw your frozen fish food before putting it in the tank. Frozen food can wreck their GI system.

I love the orange and the red plants but I think my favourite designs of yours are the ones with just vibrant greens. This is stunning 🤩

Your tanks get peaked quite fast ❤😂 like you made this tank few months ago and now you are rebuilding 😂 ❤from india 🇮🇳

Easily one of the most therapeutic channels on RU-vid. Huge fan of everything that you are & do, you deserve the world 💚

With my tanks all getting older, I really appreciate watching how you approach and breakdown a tank.

The puffer tank looks great. That 8 foot tank is spectacular, like a beautiful masterpiece.

Man I have been overly busy the last few months working and have had to put video watching on the back burner but super glad I had a bit to watch this morning I just received a huge dose of motivation thanks MD!!

Yasssss! I love puffer fish videos. I set up my 3rd tank (brackish) a few months ago and got a figure of 8 puffer fish for it, I've named him houdini as he likes to disappear in his tank 😅. Your tank is amazing, as always 🐡🐡🐡

Perfect. The best I’ve seen. Just the right types of plants and in the right amount and placement. Fantastic ‘trees’. Thank you for sharing.

It looks fantastic MD! I love the forest look of it. Really nice.

I really like t he way this tank is coming along. The plants are perfect. It makes me want to go move the plants in my tank!

It’s their little fins and eyes and they’re just amazing little creatures

Such a quality idea that was flawlessly coming together all the way through the hardscape portion. Then the outrageous plant amount kinda took it away imo, as well as the wide open swimming area for the puffers that I was envisioning early in the vid. The amount of plants also caused the tree look to vanish or blend in too much that it wasn’t as prominent of a feature. Love your work but we differ in the plant amount, would love to see this done with just half of the plants or so. Thank you for the content, not trying to crap on your technique or taste, just offering an alternative view to maybe convince ya to try one with less vegetation😂 🤷🏼‍♂️

What a lovely scape! It looks just like the videos I've seen of the Amazon River flooding the forest. WOW! Well done!

The most beautiful tank I have ever seen. Love your show❤

I do like how the finished tank looks but I think I liked it more before majority of the plants got put in, but I understand... water quality and everything.

The perfect chilled out vid to watch on my return after camping all week 👌 cheers dude your a legend ❤

One of my all time favourite scapes!

A proper MD build, it looks so good! That substrate blends the scape perfectly. I really enjoyed this one! Just be careful feeding bloodworms still frozen. Fish can freeze burn their mouths leading to fungal infections nipping at that. Thanks MD this video is awesome!

All of your scapes are beautiful, then we look at this one and it has a real WOW factor about it. The perception take is absolutely amazing and inspiring

I sense a diorama happening 🙏💚The new music is a nice change

"4 cap fulls, let me double check... 5... & one for good luck". Big silly grin & looks away. Big double cap drip into the tank, classic MD, my favorite channel.

This is now my favorite tank design and build! Love the sense of depth!

After watching the first Amazon Puffer tank build video, I went and bought 3 of them. They are fantastic little fish!

This is sick, man! Love it! Always so envious of people that can manage good perspectives in their tank designs!

The new build looks great! And everyone looks healthy and hale. Nice long video as well, thanks!

Loooove the new tank/setup, I'm sure they will love the swim room and the Cory's look lovely on the darker substrate, nice one!

Was sitting in the car in our local Tesco yesterday - Newbridge, Co Kildare - and across the carpark I saw an older bloke wearing one of your distinctive hoodies, the simple one with just the MD with the green leaf.. Stands out even from a distance so you obviously have another fan somewhere in the Co Kildare area.

so nice to see something different, i like when you get out of your comfort zone, looks really nice

“ can you be drowned underwater? I don’t know “ That made me cackle 😂 I couldn’t stop laughing 🤣 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1951">32:31</a>

This has given me so many ideas for my next tank. I love that substrate. Thank you md.

Great Aquarium! These amazon-puffers are by far my favorite pufferfish! I once even kept them with discus. No problems at all. so great job here - keep up the good work! love from Germany

This is my favourite tank for a long while. Love the depth/perspective. The amount of plants by the end resulted in a samey look to all the other jungle styles tho

my favourite tank you have done! going to try and replicate a similar style in my new tank.

MD! Love that you went for a different style on this one. It's been something I've been wanting to try myself. Really love the plant selection, as well. I think I would have leaned into the perspective more and had more of a contrast in the wood sizes, though. Really love it though

You e made some amazing aquariums but this is by far my favorite! Love the greens with the dark wood forest look! Great job mate!

It is so funny to see how much the fish in the next tank pay attention to what happens when you get the right angle to see them.

This is the best build so far! Well done.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1415">23:35</a> Bottom left corner: These fishes are like "Wow, new construction site! I need to get a unit there!" 🤣😂

FYI, Duckweed is easy to kill, you just need a bunch of surface tension for about a week or 2 after removing as much as possible.

Wow that is just stunning

Love the substrate tips! Thanks.

My all-time favorite fish other than the ranchu. Love it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1418">23:38</a> check out all of the fish in the bottom left corner listening so intently as MD explains the process 🤣

Helicopters in the jungle tank 😂❤

You truely are an artist! Great tank once again

I wanted to say that your videos are so amazing. I love you content, its interesting and informative. I also wanted to thank you for creating a space where I can enjoy fish, I live in a dorm and I can't have any. So thank you for scratching my fish itch!

Man this was one of my favorite tanks

You really are the master of this. Your aquariums always look great. I miss today’s when I used to be able to keep fish and Aquascape. The hobby is way too expensive. So I’ll just watch your RU-vid channel and enjoy your videos all my best. Thanks for sharing.

Great tank setup for those puffers, 10 out of 10 🎉

You are so good at this love to watch you ❤

Looks great! Would love to see you use more dried botanicals, leaves and such.

I think this is one of my favorites you ever made

what a fantastic scape. Very inspiring for me to get a 5ft tank.

Always makes me laugh when your like im not going to heavy then the end product is packed 😅 looks awesome bro keep it up

This tank is stunning. Awesome job mate.

Might be one of my favorite builds!👏👏

MD, as someone wearing Henry's frog on a shirt even as we speak, could I beg you to do a small tank of fancy guppies? Not endless, but the real fantail gorgeous-colored ones? As a child, I had a tank of guppies, and they were so wonderful. I can't have a tank now, but I'd love to see you do one. They are such beautiful and hardy creatures.

Anyone else beyond excited seeing this video is 46 mins long 😅

Great tank! You should try some narrow leaved java ferns sometime. They dont get half as big and make tanks look bigger as oppossed to becoming the main focal point over time. The narrow leaves would fit this tank really well

My fave build this year, looks awesome! ❤️🇦🇺

Aquarium yang sangat cantik, setelah pulang kerja pasti hilang rasa lelah setelah melihat aquariuam ini saudaraku, sangat menginspirasi

I feel whenever you state a new setup is to provide swim room for the fish, you invariably end up adding plants to the point of negating your intended goal. I think the way you had it at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1533">25:33</a> was enough and would be interesting to see how it would grow out with the plants already in. Just my thoughts. Hey it’s your tank and I always enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for your contributions. God bless.

The song when you're planting is a banger!

"And one for Goodluck." lol. I do the exact same thing. Always put a little extra just in case lol

I like the music selection. less talking more building & planting LOL

Lalalalalalalala had me howling laughing, it fits so perfectly😂👏

Schöner "Unterwasserwald", wenn auch nicht gerade mein Geschmack! 😉

I use API's aqua essential, leaf zone & stress coat. Love 'em!

Incredible tank.

MD: I'm going to go with a dark substrate to give it the look of a forest floor Also MD: covers every square inch of substrate with plants 😂

*<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="114">1:54</a>** LALALALA... too much funny ❤😂😂*

Beautifully done. My new favorite tank.

beautiful scape!!!😊

Pretty cool would love to see you do a couple of different variations on this style, it's one of my favourites. 👍

Beautiful aquarium! I love these pufferfish!🐡

looks fantastic, not gimmicky at all

I was thinking "hmm MD is using the label for quick start and leaf zone... No more bit for luck?" Oh wait never mind, there it is.

All the fish watching, in the next tank over 👀👀🥰

"How cute is this baby cory,"cut to wet vaccing the tank immediatly 😅

This is a beautiful tank love the scape 😊

MD: don’t want to fill that channel down the middle… swim room MD LATER: so there is room, let’s fill it! 😂😂😂

Your skill and knowledge are obvious 👍🏻

Looks very very good MD :) I have added Celestial Pearl Danios to my Indonesian Forest Scape but my tank is only 60cm so easier to do in a sense but I would love to do a big tank like this one :)

This is the best jungle tank you've done

I've also recently made a sort of diorama aquarium in a Superfish Scaper 90. It's a dolmen with trees around it. I've kind of went wild with the plants, lots of anubias and bucephalandra on top and in the gaps, moss and an anubias pinto on top which is doing great so far. Must be the Superfish light ;). Currently stocked with otocynclus, pygmy corys and ruby tetras. I've also made a forest floor carpet with monte carlo, hair grass, cuba, and a few others. The only thing left is getting myself a Dutch ANWB direction toadstool sorted.

API acc clear helps mechanically filter fine particles with poly wool in the filter. Works for green water too

I got a mortar and pestle thanks to this guy.

I found funny that the fishes of the 8 foot and the peacocks went where you were to take a look at what you were doing 😂

I would love to see a father fish method done by you. great work as always

Man saw , man clicked
