Use Aquarium Water For Plants

RE: Use Aquarium Water For Plants Post by lyndagayle62 (114) | (07/12/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Plants LOVE IT, especially house plants. We have a turtle in a 20 gallon tank of rocks/wood/water, OUTSIDE. The algae and turtle waste needs twice a week changing, and that water is DARK GREEN from residual pet food the plants seem to love as well. Yes, yes, yes, by all means, don't waste it since plants CHEER UP AND ALMOST SPEAK with it. God bless you for your recycling and not wasting. : ) RE: Use Aquarium Water For Plants Post By (Guest Post) (07/12/2007) There is never a funky smell to our tank water!! In fact after watering the plants with fish water, one of our very stubborn christmas cactii bloomed for the very first time!!! Nothin like good ole fish manure!!!

I would be careful about using water if it is being medicated, say for some sort of bacterial or fungal infection. We have three tanks, a 20 gallon, a 37 gallon and a 50 gallon, so they take a lot of water. We do about a 10% water change every week or, at worst, two. We water all our houseplants then take buckets out to the flowerbeds or the younger shrubs and trees. They all seem to love the extra boost in nutrients Jess RE: Use Aquarium Water For Plants Post by hsorbits (63) | (07/11/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Doesn't it smell funky?
