This old curmudgeon thinks that light and plants are secondary to water 
changes. I think both will contribute, but water changes daily or semi-continuously 
are the best way to "flush the toilet", so to speak. Would you try to dispose 
of your human waste by converting it on site to plant growth? Sure you can do 
it, but those human populations that still do it are considered disease 
prone. Read my article in JAKA December 2004.
