They only live a limited period of time and then you just replace them with new ones. The only thing you do on these type tanks are water changes and see how long they live before you have to buy new ones.
I was told this by my LFS as he sets them up for people and does maintenence on them.
To me they are a waste of money and cruel to keep in this fashion as they will perish in the end. JMO
