  • Hi RUclips, 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!
