You need good nutrient scrubbing from a turf algal scrubber, or chaeto or something though. Its just like in the ocean, fish eat, excrete, the plants eat that, the fish eat them... a big circle. If you were going to do this, I'd recommend weekly carbon and ozone, to remove the chemicals the nutrient-scrubbers don't remove.

I use my water change water to grow Phytoplankton to feed the rotifers. Also for BBS, and adult brine shrimp. Soon other critters too.
