Cleaning the tank/ Water Changing

[brookie_uk]

I worder if anybody can help me by answering a few questions. I am just looking for advise on how to properly clean your tank.

I now have live plants in my aquarium and I don't relaly want to be moving/ disturbing them do I as they will have rooted now I think. I do a waterchange every 2 weeks but how do I go about cleaning my orniments and rocks?

What would you advise to do when cleaning tank, How do you do it?
Also, how long would I expect plants to live for?

plants and live forever if cared for properly (literally)

assumeing u dont have like 3 inches of gravel in the bottom of ur tank, u should be able to run a funnle and hose over the gravel and pick up most everything except the plants. you should have an inch of gravle or less in your tank, more than that and i would recommend uprooting you plants and removeing some, plants dont need alot of gravle to grow.
