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.

consumers eat other things so fish or decomposes such as snails

Inverts can be very beneficial to your aquarium if suitable with your existing livestock. Inverts are the cleaners of the tank and can help create a more balanced, clean and safe environment.

The simple answer is yes. A balanced aquarium should contain water plants and these need light in order to live and grow. If your aquarium is a tropical one then the lights should be on for around 12 hours daily.
