Honestly, the video is missing so many NECESSARY steps that it may be more harmful the useful to some.

amount of light/intensity of light, size of plants/light required for plants...

just a few things but few that will make a big difference in the tank..

Not to mention cycling...

with plants you dont need to cycle.. and didnt the video say something like a week + after you can add fish.. so i think its fine on that one..

Just another thing is, washing the gravel/sand thoroughly..
