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:

  1. Remove any dirt, moss, or other debris that has built up over time.
  2. Rinse the aquarium with water and soap.
  3. 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.
  4. Rinse the fishtank again with fresh water and soap before adding new fish or plants.
