The truth is that planted aquariums are pretty simple to care for, and traditional fish tanks are more difficult to maintain than these aquariums are. You'll just need to devote a little time every week to their maintenance and avoid the typical errors people make while caring for planted aquariums. After you have checked the water's temperature and pH, cleaned the glass cover, scraped away any algae, changed the water, inspected the CO2 cylinder, and trimmed the plants, you are finished.
