A planted aquarium should be kept clean to maintain its health and beauty. Here are a few tips on how to clean a planted aquarium:
- Remove any dirt, moss, or other debris that has built up over time.
- Rinse the aquarium with water and soap.
- Add a small amount of bleach to the water and soap mixture and stir until the solution is well mixed. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or pot and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the chlorine to work its way through the fishtank’s systems.
- Rinse the fishtank again with fresh water and soap before adding new fish or plants.
