In this episode we cover the initial tank setup, sand, rock work, etc. its a pretty short episode so hope you all like it. I know the intro and outro are out of focus, i didnt realize until i got it off the camera... didnt think it was a big deal since it was only my face.. lol
-
In this episode i spend about 15 minutes or so walking through a list of initial equipment that will be needed to setup the tank. Please forgive me, i had recorded this video 4 times so it was a bit of a struggle to get through some issues i was having.
