A balanced aquarium in an aquarium that contains a full ecosystem. In a balanced aquarium fish will produce waste.
This waste will be decomposed by snails, bottom feeders and bacteria, generally into ammonia. The ammonia is converted by two different strains of bacteria into nitrite then nitrate.
Nitrate is then consumed by the plants in the tank. If all of the waste can be converted into nitrate, and all of the nitrate can be consumed by the plant matter in the tank, the tank is in balance. The balanced aquarium could be taken one step further to have the fish in the tank consume only the plant matter that grows in the tank.
This will generally require a large size tank for the number of fish present, because it takes a large number of plants to flourish and also be consumed.

Why is the aquarium considered a mini-ecosystem?
An aquarium is considered a mini-ecosystem because it contains living organisms such as fish, plants, and bacteria interacting with each other and their environment.

The aquarium also has its own nutrient cycle and waste management system, similar to a larger ecosystem.
