Cleaning plants

[fishlover900]

I hav two plants in a 5g hexagon tank. I have a 10w plain fish tank blub and a 9w BLUEGLOW? bar. It is for plnts in tropical tanks. I also hav a CO2 injector and add plant food every two weeks. The plants are growing but the leaves are getting covered in brown dirt from the fish etc. How can i remove this without damaging the plants?

I would try a gravel vaccum. Get the vaccum sucking and run the end over the plants it oughta suck the dirt off the leaves.

you can just reach in and clean them off with your fingers. if your gentle shouldnt hurt them

The filtration curent should be knocking it off. If its not, you could try a soft current provided by an airstone.
