Intro: 300 Gallons Wild Discus tank - The Grotto (Cinematic)
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Hi KZread, meet the Grotto!
This 300gal wild discus aquarium has been my love and pride for the past year (boy was it a hard year)!
I hope y'all like this cinematic version of the introduction of the Grotto, and make sure you sub to my channel so you don't miss out on the following up videos, which I will go over the filtration system, the aquascaping process, and updates and all that good stuff!
For more updates, follow me on Instagram tmk_aquarist or Facebook / tmkaquarist
Thanks!

Getting the plumbing done right was the definitely the difficult bit! The scape was very experimental and it was really tough at some parts of the process too
Truly an amazing tank! I almost feel like changing my predatory fish to discus now... But just almost! ;) The light makes the colors really pop btw, looks insanely good. And a 10/10, good video with just the right amount of talking. Not like many other super hyped up youtubers now a days. Keep it going man! 💪

@@TMKAquarist haha i know... But take a look at "primitive technology" on youtube for example. He got a HUGE following, without saying even one word, and still was VERY informative. I love his style of videos... The hyped up videos usual gets a younger and "short attention span" type of audience i believe. But hey, if you're aiming to be a "real KZreadr", it might be the way to go... ;) If your tanks keep this standard, I'll stick around!
