Some people think that keeping a planted aquarium needs to spend a lot of time in the maintenance, but they are wrong. If we spend 5~15min every day doing small things, like add liquid fertilizer, feeding the fishes, cleaning the glasses or maybe a water change; the general maintenance is easy and fast! We just need to schedule very well all the needs and have some rules.
Even if we don't do something daily, a balanced aquarium can be easily cleaned, just see the following video:
To have an idea, I spent 45min doing this maintenance and I was worried about the camera, seeing if it was recording or not... so usually to do something like this, I spend 15~20min at most.
Some algae appeared but nothing to complain... It is quite normal in a new layout, but if you detect on time, is very easy to control and remove it. On the video above you can see the difference between before and after! No tricks and no photoshop...
