it is not a closed ecosystem, it requires importation and exportation of materials, even the planet earth is not a closed ecosystem. Importation of sun light and all thatLydiaGreen said:I really don't like the term "ecosystem" when it comes to fish keeping. It leads too many people to believe that they can just top off the tank because the plants clean up after the fish and the fish clean up after the plants or similar such nonsense.
Jarred Darque said:you can have an independant aquarium. some plants, alot of algae, 10 gallons of water, and a pair of guppies. only thing you have to do is top off the water, no feeding involved
actaully that is a viable solution
