I HAVE AN HONEST QUESTION
I like to recycle when I can and have like a million plants along with a 10 gallon aquarium which I do water changes often, since my siphon is to pick up fish poop while I do the water change, will fish water with fish poop help/hurt my plants or will it make no difference at all? Doing water changes leaves me with so much water that I could use on my plants

What do you add to the fish water?
>>
Instant coffee is a pretty good fertilizer
>>
Mine get cooled mint tea sometimes. It seems to help keep them pest-free.
>>
>>2151605
Helps them. I dump the horrible reeking septic mess my monitor turns his water bowl into in the plants and they grow like crazy
>>
>>2151607
I dont add anything, Only water conditioner, which is used to get rid of bad chemicals in tap water that may harm fish
other than that it is just fish water with fish poop, maybe tiny pieces of uneaten fish food
I hear that fish poop helps my aquatic plants and theyve been doing great so I dont see why it wouldnt help my normal plants, I just dont know to what extent or if other people actually do this
>>
>>2151605
The water itself with fish poop should be fine. Just don't over water your plants and be careful when adding additional fertilizer.
>>
>>2151605
Yes you can, personally i'd avoid spraying the leaves with it cuz if the plants are sensitive it can get fertilizer burn on them. But if you dont dose your tank regularly it should be fine. I am actually growing plants hydroponicly out the top if my planted display tank right now.
