If you can get your plants well established in your tank, you'd be

surprised
at how much of the crap on the bottom they absorb. In my 55 gallon

tank,
which is way overstocked, I haven't cleaned the gravel in months, yet it

it
sparkling clean. The plants absorb most of it through thier roots. I

find
that in my tank, snails take care of the leftovers.

Since you want to start planting in your tank, let's start with the

basics:
How much light do you have in your tank?
What kind of gravel do you have?

Depending on what plants you want, you'll probably want to add light to

your
tank. However, if you limit yourself to specific set of low-light

plants
you
can have very nice results as well. I'll try and dig up some pics of

high
and
low light planted tanks later...
