It require fertilizers which are bit costly for me. And i wanted to make it with less cost. Plant cutting and i dont know if we add sand in it then i think water change or removing fish waste is hard with vaccum pumpwhy should a plant tank require a lot of maintenance?
you set it up, add plants, turn the light on, and add some liquid iron based plant fertiliser a few times a week.
do a water change like you would on a fish tank and that's it.

Do you have any video link with this.If aquarium fertilisers are an issue, grow the plants into 1 or 2 litre plastic icecream buckets.
Put an inch of gravel in the bucket.
Spread a thin layer of granulated garden fertiliser over the gravel.
Spread a 6mm (1/4 inch) layer of powdered red or orange clay over the fertiliser.
Fill the container with more gravel and plant the plants into the gravel.
As the plants grow, their roots head down through the clay and get a heap of nutrients and even more when they get to the fertiliser. The clay will stop the fertiliser leaching into the water.
You can smear some silicon around the outside of the container and stick sand or gravel to it so it blends in with the substrate.
