The Angelfish Aquarium: EPIC NO co2 4ft Aquascape Tutorial (Full Guide) 

👇👇MD MERCH CLICK HERE👇👇: THICC CORY: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com/listing/md-thicc-cory FULL SHOP: md-fish-tanks.creator-spring.com I've had the Angelfish Aquarium planned for a while but wanted to wait until the Ecosystem Aquarium was a year old. It's proved it's success, I've learnt tons and it's now time to move on :)...So here come the Angels!!! A more simplistic sccape this time to ensure that the fish are very visible and the stars of the show. I love how it turned out and I hope you like it too 😊 Equipment (all links affiliate): INTERNAL FILTER: US amzn.to/3NuyUOx UK amzn.to/36HdblI LED FLOODLIGHTS: US amzn.to/3m3cEz9 UK amzn.to/3orIdRv GOOD BUDGET LIGHT:: US amzn.to/2MDfjk1 UK amzn.to/3iYlfQQ SMALL HANG ON BACK FILTER: US amzn.to/2Mw63OO UK amzn.to/39rx3b5 NANO INTERNAL FILTER: US amzn.to/3oxGBWm UK CANISTER FILTER: US amzn.to/3iNeVtW UK amzn.to/2Fo774a GOOSENECK CLIP ON LAMP: (similar as product is now discontinued) US amzn.to/2IlwLVA UK amzn.to/2LNat13 MINI WATER PUMP: US amzn.to/2oAmf5y UK amzn.to/2mjHDez TANKS: US amzn.to/2SOocHG UK amzn.to/2SPA24i STRIP LED LIGHT: US (similar) amzn.to/2SNgbm7 UK amzn.to/2Fn9aW1 ASTA LED LIGHT: US amzn.to/3k9EmpY UK amzn.to/3p5XUPY AQUARIUM RACKING: Shelving: US amzn.to/2SrYZ5k UK amzn.to/2GFWKJ2 AIRPUMP (FILTER SYSTEM): US amzn.to/31z8FA9 UK amzn.to/37GIoUa FILTER SPONGES: US amzn.to/3dQLUfM UK amzn.to/3dS2k7K MEDIA BAGS: US amzn.to/34Kaf2N UK amzn.to/3lAj3z1 STAINLESS LILY PIPES: US amzn.to/2FqHpvR UK amzn.to/2RlfrnC BOWL AQUARIUMS: US amzn.to/2M4FwFO UK: amzn.to/2Vx73CL API® products Subscribe to API on RU-vid: ru-vid.com USA consumers purchase API products on Amazon: www.amazon.com/stores/page/2193F555-CE5F-4A6B-BDC4-F315CB7F175D?channel=MDTanks UK consumers purchase API products on Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/stores/page/25663644-6C8C-432C-9E6A-0A85082C3E3C AQUARIAN® products Follow AQUARIAN on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/show-UCNxaNWKoWr_ztSgXgPj9r8A Purchase AQUARIAN products here: aquarian.co.uk/where-to-buy/ AWESOME MEMBERSHIP COMMUNITY ru-vid.com/show-UC3uQXzXSPspf2LoGdtYGiHwjoin FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/md_fishtanks/ FOR BUSINESS ENQUIRIES: admin@mdfishtanks.com #plantedtank #aquascape #mdfishtanks

I must say, minutes with Matt explaining history, breed, care instructions and sizes full grown, about fish is becoming one of my favorite parts on your amazing scapes

This build turned out spectacular, and there's something soothing about this tank... I could watch it for hours.

We had a bunch of huge tanks at one point. Even a small pond in the living room! Now, we’re just down to two, tiny little ones. One square with a few snails and some aquatic grass. Another moss tank. I miss it. Watching this, I live vicariously through you!

This truly came out stunningly well. Very nice setup, MD. Those blue angels are in my top 3, I love the blues, and they shimmer like diamonds like you said. Can't wait to see them grow up. Take care

This definitely shows off the fish more than the natural scape. This tank is more featuring the fish which I love

Yessss can't wait for these guys to get big and breed!!

Perfect music for that beautiful ending. I could watch this tank all day and feel my blood pressure coming down. So relaxing 😌

Love ur stuff man, been watching for a while now and have learnt so much now. I was getting out of fish and the whole under water world but when ur video popped up in my feed u brought it all back for me bc u showed me a different way of fish keeping and how to do different things So keep up the great work and can't wait for where u go into the future 👍🏿

Angels have never been my favorite but your scape and enthusiasm really made a difference. They are beautiful. Good job.

This is one of my favorite tanks. I love how open and clean it looks. As the plants fill in, it’s going to look even better. Sometimes, simple and light actually looks better. Especially when you have busy quick moving fish.

Ohhh the cinematic part....37:00 - 38:00... so beautiful it could make me cry. Beautiful tank M.D. Really.

MD this is stunning. It's a very contemporary designed tank which looks amazing for the Angels to swim in and grow. Your selection of tank mates for the Angels is great and the end result is another winner.

40 minutes of intense excitement! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Thank you.

Great build. I really enjoy the negative space in this one.

MD i think it would be really cool if you invited Matt to your studio and gave him a tour!!

Beautiful tank, love the Angels. Your tanks are so realistic, the fish are living the good life.

This tank is amazing!! And thank you for ALL your videos. I used to be just a gravel and plastic decor kind of guy but, because of all the gorgeous tank you have put together. I’ve learned a ton of info and found that live plants and beautiful hard scales are not difficult at all. You have definitely kept my interest and advanced my skill in my aquariums. Thank You. And again, this tank is gorgeous.

This is my next project. Dad had an aquarium growing up, and the upkeep was such a hassle. But, a balanced ecosystem is a stunner.

Youre the reason i actually did my first scape this month. Love your content and passion. Truly beautiful work

I watch all your videos, they are so therapeutic and incredible I even went back and watched from your first video ever loaded up and worked my way forward. BY FAR THE BEST AQUARIUM/AQUATIC RU-vidR OUT!!!!!💯💯😁

Absolutely love it. There’s nothing like the classic fishkeeping Trinity! Can’t wait to see these guys grow up and the tank grows in.

OMG that cinematic at the end was gorgeous, easily the best you have done so far, love it.

My morning is complete! Getting my video on before hitting up my lfs

The plants are so beautiful. They make everything better. Plus the branch twirling❤❤❤

I look forward to seeing this in a couple years to really see those angels in all their glory.

14:48 that itself looks so nice & minimalist vibe ✨️

Aw man! I loved that ecosystem tank. New build looks amazing as always though :)

Thank you from across the pond. I love Angles and Tetras. With this video I'm planning my first aquarium in 26 years! I'll start small, with a 20 gallon tank.

It's amazing the plants know where the water is sending out feeler roots even if it's completely detached ,amazing

Love your scapes. The Frosted backgrounds that you do convinced me to do one. I just did a 40 breeder with a frosted background and LOVE it. Thank you!

I’ve got a blue that we think is a mix because he doesn’t have those distinctive stripes, only above his eye, and he’s BEAUTIFUL! I love him so much. ☺️

Every tank you do always blows my mind away. You get a vision and you nail it every time! Your videos have come along way MD! Can’t wait to see your next build

Wow! From my point of view, this is the most gorgeous scape you’ve made up and until now🐟🔥

amazing scape as always, a small school of geophagus tapajos (orange head earth eaters) would go awesome in there with the angles and tetra a propper classic yet some how modern looking aquairum

You definitely have an artist's eye. I really like the arrangements you make.

Awesome set up MD as always...i think a black background would show off those angels even more

MD u need to try this plant for your shrimp and any other tanks you want to. its called susswassertang and is not that common. love watching your vids. you've inspired me to breed shrimp.

You've Never Ceased To Amaze Me. Awesomeness Always. Stay Safe And Stay Blessed. Hi Doodle 😉

I am going to miss the og ecosystem tank, but definitely excited to see how this tank develops over time!

What a thoroughly enjoyable and informative video. Thank you..I'm in the process of setting up my aquarium and will definitely take some of your ideas. I wanted to go down the route of angelfish... decision confirmed. Brilliant

Great, classic tank. So nicely done! The only thing that takes away from the fish and the beautiful scape is the background. I find that the blurred ones does that as well. It makes it look slightly dull and takes away from the depth and natural "Mystic" of the tank. Love the job you are doing and have been following you almost from the start! Keep up the amazing work!🌱🪸🐠🌿🪷🦐🐚🌿

Awesome build and am so glad you resisted planting anything in that center area!! It’s a perfect open area for showcasing the beautiful Angels! And other fish swimming through that area. Love this build!!! ♥️

Love seeing these large builds with larger fish now!

I'm stoked for the angels again😍😍😍

Cichlids are awesome. So many to choose from, love this build and fish choice.

All of MD Tank are amazing!!!!! Just relaxing an heavenly, Can’t wait to see this tank mature in an take flight 💯

Beautiful setup! Can't wait to see the angels grow.

Amazing.utterly awesome I love the naturalistic look and the empty space Good work mate

MD next tank idea, a pea puffer tank! Really want those fish myself so would be interesting what ideas you could come up with for a scape for them and also the merch would be super cute and we'd all buy some 🤣

just when I don't think it can get any better you prove me wrong!!! you are on fire 🔥 😊😂❤

its adorable watching him try to keep it together in front of you xD adorable im invested now

Nice! Thank you so much for taking me with when you went to the fish store! I haven't been in such a long time I'm growing a lil weary!! 🐠

looks amazing, love the composition of your hardscape

I really love this scape I have watched your previous videos and I love the media bag idea especially with how clean and fresh this look to prevent the aqua soil from coming thru but yeah I love this nice one MD

Love this scape so vibrant probably my 2nd favourite behind the rare eco

I’m so glad you got angelfish again! They are so beautiful!

Beautiful scape.. Loving this one. Looking forward to watching them grow xx

I love having a big display tank: more plants, more fish. But you're right about tidying up as you go when resetting it. Otherwise, you end up with a big mess and stuff everywhere. It can even be a little risky; I once twisted my ankle because I got so much water on the floor.

That is one of my favorite tanks you have done! Great job! Thank You!

Beautiful tank and done with taste 😍 Great job MD as always. Keep inspiring 🙂

Great looking tank, MD. Yesterday I was revisiting you Fallen Tree tank from the shed. I liked it, again. It is great to see you make great tanks with Matt. But you are still and also great on build like this, slow and education. Keep doing them both. 😊

I love the ecosystem tanks

This video is going to be my inspiration to setup the 150 gallon tank I'm working on.

I been looking ideas for angelfish tank ideas. So this helps a lot thank you so much

Been watching you for 2 years already and I remember the old angelfish tank

Absolutely lovely tank man, cant wait to make my own large aquarium some day!

I can't believe you took that tank apart 😭😭😭😭 a full year just.. gone I wouldn't have been able to take that one apart, I'd have done a new one lol

Those rumy nose tetras are so cool

I’m so stoked you decided on cardinals and rummy’s!!! I am currently stocking my 75 with the same tetras, which will soon be home to some angels too!

Beautiful scape! I think a banjo catfish would be a really interesting inhabitant for this setup. They burrow in sand and I think having 1-3 of those popping up occasionally would be quite neat.

Tbh i am little confused since fully grown angelfish require taller tanks. I have 6 adults, 50cm of water depth and i consider it a bare minimum. You obviously have massive amount of fishkeeping experience so won't argue with your decision thou. Good luck and looking forward for updates!

Fun fact, i had those eels in my dads aquarium as a kid and we thought they were dead many times but they where still alive when he sold the aquiarium a few years ago (they got like 12 years old and they were the only fish that stayed from the beginning to the end!!)

You should do a video on just explaining different types of plants that are good for tanks & how to trim & replant them in different tanks.

Just wanted to say, I started watching your videos about 6 weeks ago, I've went back and watched tons of them now. I'd never had an aquarium before, but now I have a 60ltr, 22ltr nano and 2 no filter shrimp tanks. This is your fault MD 😄 🤣 Keep up the awesome work dude!!

I think this calls for Angel fish merch🐠. Absoloutly love the scape

You dismantled your best looking tank in my opinion, still new scape looks great(as always) but not what I would have done.

hear me out black sand black background for the angels. they would glow with that contrast!

Really lovely tanks and I really appreciate the explanations around the design theory and tradeoffs. Thank you. Now i will see how to do this without an infinite budget :)

Looks absolutely amazing. I thought about putting seiryu stone in my tanks for my angel fish, but I was too afraid of it raising ph and dealing with that. In the future though I definitely will think about getting a bigger tank and put some seiryu in.

Fantastic video. Beautiful creation. Love the rocks wood plants and sand. Visit to shop was great as well. Beautiful fish 👍👍

cardinals taking sweet time getting okay in the tank

Thank you MD , Another really incredible scape !! My absolute favorite of them all , so natural w/ just enough flow where your plants are concerned & the Angels can glide around their new home . This is all about showcasing the fish and great job on how you placed your stones , it looks amazing and IMO one of the hardest part to get right & you nailed it. Good to have a few Angels around to liven up the Studio & the great mini schools of Tetras is as good as it gets !!! A tank that Takashi would have in his home no doubt about it 💙💚

This and the blue acara set up are my favourites too date! Nice work man

I don’t know if it’s possible, but you should try to make an albino only tank. I think that would be cool :). Great vid btw

Matt the fish guy is super nice and I am sure he must know a good barber to trim up that beard and give it some shape. Do it brother!!

this looks so great. I love the front to back depth on this tank. It's the big thing I hate about my 29g tank. it lacks that space for scaping.

Awesome aquascape

Beautiful scape! And those baby rays are adorable!

It’s pretty cool too think that in a year you will do “1 year update” and everything will be fully grown.

Oh wow didn’t realize we had the same local maidenhead ! I’m right between dorch and Wellington

Loving that one MD. Always good to see a smiling no mask Matt too😁😁

always happy for an md vid

Yes Tuesday is now complete with an New MD build video 👍

I have no words to say to youre scapes....love it

It’s amazing you took on my angelfish idea. I also have the blue zebra pinoys. They are amazing. Great video and thanks so much

So excited for this! My 4ft is also stocked with blue pinoy angels, plus a school of x-ray tetras and some emerald corydoras. My pride and joy of all my tanks.

So exciting buying then releasing new fish into the tank!

The angels will look stunning once they mature and put on some size!

I'm officially jealous :\ But good work. The tank looks absolutely fantastic! You've got good aquascaping skills.
