Re: Water from Aquariums


Hi:
I tried it once, and the smell of the water really got to me.  The mulm
siphoned from the lower one-third of the tank has a definite odor.  Tanks
don't normally smell because we change the water so often, but the water
itself does have a bad odor.  The best way to check this is to put some of
the siphoned water into a bowl or pan, leave it for a few minutes and you
will see what I mean.  This is for fresh water aquariums only.  Salt water
is never good for any plant.

Just my 2 cents worth.  Hope it helped.
