Can I Water My Plants With Used Aquarium Water?

[branjie]

Hi all,
I had to do a water change today, and ended up throwing about 40 litres of used tank water down the drain. I'm just wondering if this water is o.k for plants, as it seems such a waste to pour it down the drain.

Use the dirtiest water for any houseplants you have, they'll last much, much longer. Free liquid fertiliser!.

I use the dirty water from my 125g to water my garden. It's blooming like mad and freakin' huge this year!

It is very good for your platns!!!!!!!!!!!! It has a natural fetilizer, so it is free, and you to have to add useless chemicals in it. I started watering my 4 strawberries with it, and now they have almost coverd a whole garden bed!!!!!!!!! I also have noticed that my tomatoe plants are 6ft tall and have huge 3 pound tomatoes on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are big boy tomatoes and they have never have goptten this tall, and the tamatoes have never weighed this much.
