We predict that both plant species take in more energy than they release. This is the reason why the plants grow with added nutrients and light.
Most of the energy lost by the system will be lost via metabolic heat. To make up for this loss, energy must be replenished daily through goldfish pellets and constantly via a light source.
Without these energy inputs, each trophic level experiences a net loss of energy (in the form of heat), translating to a net loss of energy in the whole system.
