Using tank water on houseplants

Brilliant!!!!

I will water with free abandon from now on.

I agree its a great source of Nitrates but what about if your treating with Meds?? Some meds are pretty potent but if they are safe with aquarium plants than they must be ok with outdoor plants

 

[Silly me]

I am waiting for sunlight so I could take a picture of our garden, the outlet only waters about 50% of the garden and the diffrence is huge, the half with fishwater have much bigger leaves and is also greener in color.

What about water from a new (uncycled) tank? I wouldn't think ammonia would be too good for plants but I suppose its in cow poop and other stuff they use for fertilizers?

Thats what I first thought Stan but I guess that if cow/horse/chicken poo is good, so is fish poo!

If my courgettes turn out a bit fishy though.................... the fish will have 'courgette cramp' if I end up feeding it all to them
