o yeah, you are a quick study, lol. you got it! Your description of the dual things happening is correct. And in fact it may even be a little better than you might think in that the bacterial colonies, even though smaller and weaker from the plants taking most of their food will still be slowly growing stronger and more robust (there's even some speculation that when bacterial colonies grow very, very slowly they develop in a better way.) Since you are a gardener I can think of no one better to be trying this method for us again - its only been a few times we've been lucky enough to see it (so I hope you'll continue to report here and not just abandon us for planted, lol!)
Your neons probably love the brown water, that's supposed to be a feature of their natural habitats most of the time. My bogwood soaking on the patio for the last year has still never settled down and I wonder how black it would get the tank when I miss a weekly water change session, argh!
