Waste water after water change,

[Mndrsn2000]

What do you do with your waste water after a water change? My chick is getting mad cause I dump all the fish waste in her tub, so I am looking for other ideas.

some people have used it in their q-tanks, i just dump mine in the bathtub, dont really think there is much you can do with it??

 

[wetWolger]

On the weeds growing in the gravel around my house.

Keep it out of your tub. You could be spreading marine tb.

toilet

weed control around the property...especially on a gravel driveway where I park my pick-up.

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

in my garage sink.....

toilet!

I have always dumped mine in the toilet, it just flushes right down without even using the flusher while I dump it in.

It's where the Poo belongs!

Yes, I put it where all the household poo goes. Why should my fish get different treatment?

 

[deansreef]

in the tiolet always

I do large freguent water changes 25g weekly or more and wonder if all that salt would alter the bacteria populations in my septic tank and possibily have a negative impact.

Can we get some more info on this?

If contact from the waste water is a potential issue, then why do I have my hands/arms in it/tank every day? If airborne tank water is an issue - wouldn't my Living Room be a TB breading ground with as much airation as exists on the surface, skimmer, and fogger? If ingestion is the issue - I shouldn't be sucking on siphon hoses and should be wearing a face shield when working in the tank from the occasional splash in the face.

???

I've not heard of Marine TB - so please forgive my ignorance.

Thanks,
John.

What is this "marine TB" you guys are talking about?
I just realized I could be tossing the water out in the alleyway in the winter to keep it de-iced

My freshwater tank gets drained into the sink (python) but I also use it to water house plants.
