My Wife's DREAM Planted Tank | Our First Team Project

After years of me insisting I don't do plants and don't do community fish, my wife April finally got her way. This is her tank. Her vision. And our first build from scratch together as a team. In this first episode, we take you through the entire setup process — from choosing the Landen 118 gallon rimless to the scape, the planting, and the first new fish. This is completely different from anything I've ever done on this channel, and honestly? I think I love it. If you've been waiting to see what April's been planning all this time — this is it.
