Freshwater Aquarium Articles and Videos Worth Checking Out

I've done a lot of reading related to keeping freshwater fish and plants. I know I may never achieve it, but goal is to acquire the knowledge and skills to establish a balanced planted aquarium i.e. one that needs infrequent or even no water changes (the holy grail). The following collection of articles and videos are those that served as an excellent introduction, went into detail, or saved me the trouble of having to experiment.
