Wwhats the skinny on fish tank water? Fresh water of course. Ive got a sh55 gallon and a 20 gallon. Im not the keeper of the fish so im not sure what the specific levels are of all the different shit, but I could find out. I do water changes every 2 weeks or somethin. What abour storing it? Using it in an AACT? I could try it out myself in a few weeks but for now I dont want to risk a negative effect. Thanks
I use it and it works great... Living water for living soils.
I use a powerhead to circulate and oxygenate the water. Stagnant water produces gram negative bacilli and fungi which can be pathogenic. If you have municipal water that has chloramine, you can add up to a max of 30% by volume into your holding reservoir. The bacteria will feed off the chloramine so tap water will actually help keep your water alive. I actually stopped using water conditioners to my aquariums over 10 years ago and remove only 20%, once a week and replace it with water straight out the tap and the plants and fish love it and in turn provide me with what I consider an awesome source of water.
EDIT: If you don't have tap water with chloramine, you can add a 1/4tsp of ammonia or a small sprinkle of your pee per 20 gal. of water every 3 to 5 days to keep your stored aquarium water alive.
thank you freemason. i use tap water as well when i do a 20% water change. we have well water here tho, no chlormine. it is softened too. the plants in the fish tanks stay alive(aquarium plants) . im going to try it once i get some rooted clones here comin up.
200 head jersey cow farm the farmer stacks there shit 20 foot high waiting for spring thaw so we can liquify said shit and spread it all over the fields(sweet corn, cukes , and beaners! I am gonna grab a 5 gallon bucket or two let em dry a bit and use that on some veggin ladies.
Until i get my filtration system in the mail what would you guys recomend for flouride in the water? I havent noticed a huge change in the plants however i know flouride cant be good for them any thoughts?
i knew someone who had a kid and saved the afterbirth to bring home. they buried it, planted a tree on top and called it the "Macayla" tree.
