Could aquarium waste water be used in my indoor gro. I have 1 cold fresh water tank and 3 heated tropical's. I do frequent water changes . I add aquarium salt, and only use organic treatments. I thought maybe this water could be used. Thirsting for knowledge out

Ricorico uses Aquarium Water and Fish poo to grow Epic Ladies.
I would ask him directly for help and Im sure he will be happy to answer. Heres his journal-- THE UNDERGROUND BUNKER

Very helpful info from Spimp, cjkstone.
I would recommend staying away from using the waste water from the tropical tank due to the salinity, however I think the waste water from the fresh water tank would be alright. Any idea of the PH of the fresh water?

Thanks guys , the tropical tanks are not salt water tanks, there just heated for certain tropical fish, I do use or treat all the tanks with aquarium salt on water changes, three of the tanks are high ph, a natural condition of are tap water no ph down has ever worked with these tanks, but i have a 60 gallon breeder tank with normal ph the substrate in this tank changes the ph level to neutral. It looks like we will give this waste water a shot, I really love how people are so ready to help a guy out ,

Hi cjkstone

You could use some lemon juice to bring the ph down.

My water is 6.8 from the tap and I don't adjust it.

The dirtier the water, the better for the plants,

so squeeze your filter into the siphoned water as well

Water from breeding fish is best

Thanks Ricorico for pointing the direction. Let it be written, Let it be done

LOL. I love that line from the 10 commandments movie. My wife and I use it all the time.

I would not use any water with aquarium salts for your plants, most of the aquarium slats are probably sodium chloride and toxic to plants.
