Medium Tech & Budget Guppy Nature Aquarium (Full Tutorial)

i don't care what anyone says, as you mentioned someone says your stuff all looks the same. It doesn't! I notice the differences even in "similar" style ones. You manage to make them all uniquely interesting.

MD and Matt may you both and your Families have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

I really like the aqua scape. I had a 33 gallon long once with nothing but guppies and live plants had several varieties the produces some very interesting colored babies. The biggest problem with guppies they are so prolific so I put a smaller cichlid to predate upon the babies but I grew so fast it go big so fast it begin eating the mature adults. I know that a cichlid was a bad choice but it solved the over population rather quickly had to move the cichlid before it ate them all. But it wasn't long and the guppy tank became over populated again. But this time I saved the best color and shape and culled the as live fish food for my other tanks. And having live plants in all my tanks some of the culled guppies survived to adulthood. And glad some did as they grew up to be beautiful fish so I would return them to the guppy tank as they deserve to keep their genetics going thorough survival of the fittest. Actually it provided stronger babies genetics I believe. Sold a lot of beautiful males as trade offs at my local fish store at the time for store credit, merchandise and other new fish. I did that with other fish as well over time it keep my hobby going and growing without spending much money. I didn't make a lot but had a lot of fun and learned a lot. I truly like watch you channel it reminds me of those days. Had to move so took down all my ranks with the hope of reseting them back up so put in a temporary storage that ended up getting broken into and they took all my stuff including all the aquariums. But watching you channel has give me the urge to try again after 30 years without major tanks. I kept Betta tanks for my kids but they have all growed up and thinking of one large community tank. And watching you and Matt has caused me to want to step back into the hobby again. So many new things and techniques it getting over whelming and the varieties of aquatic creatures makes it hard to decide which way to go.

That turned out beautifully. Excellent job.

Had to laugh when he said not a lot of wood left after the last scape, then he turns to a shelf bloody full of it 😂

No way you actually missed the ,, little exta for good luck” beneficial bacteria😢😂

This is amazing!

the environment so clean and beautify suitable for them to living

Loving your content all the way from Johannesburg South Africa

You should one of the aqua oak slim line tanks

Looking forward to the next video!

Nice job 👍🏻

Can you please do a tank with minimal plants and show us the progression, how to get to the end result?

"I am currently a bit low on wood,"
proceeds to walk over to giant shelves of wood

I think the guppies may be a line of blue grass 😊

I always love your tank builds. Truly wish I could just hire you to do a tank for me. I'm not at all currently happy with my tank. I'm redoing the entire thing. Thanks for the inspiration. Gina

Those are elephants ear guppies. I used to buy only females all the time 😂
The way you have the wood up like that, it looks like the side of a hiking trail and like trees

"Running low on wood" Has more wood than I'll probably ever buy in my life behind him. 😂

if i would trust anybody to build a retaining wall for me to stop the aquasoil it would be.......

Pretty sure they are blue dragon guppies. Beautiful whatever they are

i would love to see him do this with just a regular tank you can get at the pet store not the scaping ones. love what he does and thoroughly enjoy watching though.

This is my happy place on the internet. Thank you! 😊💻

I love your videos love the content just love how you keep everything so dang neat and tidy .......I know your busy but water those dang plants ubove the tanks near the ceiling it sticks out so much lololol

Another sweet tank

Looks like purple mosaik dumboGuppys

I really wish I had the room to set up another aquarium (I already have 5) for guppies.

How do you stop your fish from jumping out of the open top tanks?

I think i heard a shoutout to my “cowboy western” idea! Lol hope that’s on the docket for the near future. 😉

Wheres Matt ? You need to put the band back together. 😎😎

Those are beautiful Mosaic Guppies. Another amazing tank setup.

how do you get you wood to not make your water brown i love the piece i got but can't get the brown help

Hi guys when will yous be going back yo the saltwater set ups?

Low on wood ... Then you go to a shelf with more wood than my three local stores combined !!! Always fun - thanks.

Hey MD! I stumbled across your channel about 6 months ago. I love watching all your videos. Have you thought of doing a planted volcanic albino fish tank? I think that would look really neat. I hope you and Matt and your families have a wonderful holiday!

I love how the fish expect their pet human is about to feed them.

To do that set up from scratch its going to be around 600 to 700

mid-tech, woo best of both worlds

What a great tank build and those guppies are beautiful!!

I think that you just go a little too heavy on the plants at first they won’t too bad but the other tanks that you have that are starting to grow in just too much

whats wrong .something isn't right. something is off. not the vid but with you....peace out

Can you please tell me a bit about your plant storage? How often do you change its water? Is there liquid ferts in the water? Does it have air stone so the water doesn't get stagnant? Can I use saran wrap as a lid for it?

Love this tank its very authentic looking. The fish are beautiful. Do your angels have enough swim room with all those plants 😂

MD I have a Suggestion:

Talking about budget etc is great however I’ve watched your videos for a long time and as you admit you like to end up with a finished product straight away however for a lot of us this isn’t the achievable straight away, would you ever do a budget project based on A more realistic budget for plants etc and grow it out as we the poor growers would do at home 😂

❤ the video thanks for sharing 😊

Another aquatic masterpiece by your talented self.

You make it look so, sooo easy. But that's your talent showing, bc it's definitely not easy to make it work like you do.

Thanks, MD!

Should try get your hands on some of the nano rainbow fish. There’re incredible for colour and really active. Done my 90 litre tank with them and based it on an old angelfish scape you done a few years back and it’s amazing. Or so I think 🤣

Loved the time lapse music from when you where scaping

we need superfish to ship to the US 😭😭
