Fish keeping is a fluid situation! Everyone has unique circumstances. Be sure to get input from various sources before making any major changes in your tank. Recommendations picked up from places like YouTube might not work with your unique water, fish and tank conditions. What I express in my videos are my opinion based on my first hand experience and conclusions. Don't assume it will work 100% for you and your set up. Always be learning!
