Jungle Fan Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I'm not using commercial chemical fertilizers in my garden because of the hummingbirds, finches, tanagers, bunnies, hummingbird moths, lizards, and Western Box Turtles; instead I've been using organic fertilizer, aquarium water, and liquid kelp for years. I was just curious to see if anyone else is using their aquarium water in the garden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudofish Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yep I use it to water my Hydrangea. Since I started doing that the flowers are a nice blue where before they used to be more pinkish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettsPapa Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The water from my 65 gallon tank goes out in the pasture to irrigate the grass for the cows. The water I siphon from the small tanks gets poured around the roses on the north side of the house, and I siphon water from the tubs outside into a white bucket, dip out the guppy fry, and then use it to water plants in the front flower bed and in pots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBOzzie59 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Garden (no garden this year though), outdoor plants, & house plants. Going to start putting some on our small front lawn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Fan Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Nice to see how many of us don't let all that great organic fertilizer go to waste! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanked Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Every $1.00 of water I buy cost almost $3.00 to pour down the drain. So if I can reuse the aquarium water for the plants, its a no brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plutoids Mom Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I do! It goes on all the flowers, and I almost wish I had more fish water for the plants lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) We redid our home’s landscape after buying the house a couple of years ago. I water once a week from my 75 gallon, and my neighbors ask me what is my secret. Edited July 14, 2021 by Mitch Norton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griznatch Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We use it for the house plants (lots of orchids) and the garden outside. None if it goes down the drain, well except the waste from the RO, which I need to work on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Boy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 We water the house plants, throw it on the lawn, and in the garden. It's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I use it for my houseplants, especially spider plants, ivy and other varieties that cannot take our hard chlorinated tap water. I don't have enough fish water for my outdoor plants, which I may or may not interpret as a sign that I am supposed to build a pond ;-> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
