Try dumping the fish water on your compost heap, and using the resulting humus afterwards?
Thats true but a well astablished tank should not have high amonia if your Bio filters are doing what they should be the end result of the proccess should be high Nitrate wich is plant food if im not mistaken? you may have a point with salts though fish food generaly have alot of salt in it? not sure guess ill have to look. Another question i have is i use a product called Nuetral Regulator in my fishtank its basicaly what Declores and Sets my Ph to around 6.8-7.0 says on the back that it percipitates calcium and magnesium while removing any chlorine chloramine or ammonia would that be bad for plants you think?

We do a 20% water change every other week and it just pains the hell out of me to just throw that water out onto the yard.
I've got a few seedlings started...Think I'm gonna save a gallon next change and just give it a try.
Might cut the tank water by about 1/3 to start and just see what happens....I'll keep Ya posted!........J

Sweet man let me know how it goes
