Is aquarium water good for watering tomato plants?

After i do a water change in my aquarium i usually water my house plants with it. But is it ok to use it on the tomato plants? I know tomato plants don't like a lot of nitrogen. Do you think there is too much nitrogen in tank water?

I have 3 tanks and I use that water to water my garden outside including tomatoes and other plants and it is an excellent fertilizer!! Use it as much as you can, the plants love it. Besides they sell fish emulilzer at stores which is the same stuff and this is free!!! The fish water is full of nutrient that plants need and besides they say that when you bury a dead fish near a plant that plants blooms like no other so this would not hurt it at all. Good luck planting.

Reply:I have fresh-water fish. When I clean the tank, I usually water my plants also. Fish poop is a good fertilizer. Just try not to get it actually ON the fruits or vegetables that you eat. Just in the earth... You don't want to eat the fish poop!



I hope this helps!
Reply:actually yes, because there's nutrients in it
Reply:I've heard aquarium water is very good for watering house plants, I would only give your tomatos a little bit incase there is a lot of nitrogen in it , i doubt there would be but just incase you don't want to over fertilize tomato plants anyways you'll burn them . Just make sure you don't have any bad chemicals in the water that could harm your plants
Reply:Yes, it will be very good for tomato plants
Reply:Yeah, I agree with Spikes B. All the crap from the fishes and bacteria is in that water will make your plants grow better and healthier.
Reply:I would use it on the grass but not on anything I was going to eat later.



Tomatoes are mostly made of water. Do you want them to taste like fish pee?
Reply:it is excellent, i have used it many times
Reply:ew.. maybe.. i always have plant food (specific green water) that i use on all my gardern plants.. and it works wonders!!



but your idea is a good way to safe water.. i just wonder how much fish bowel is in you water.. hheeheh
Reply:I have 2 huge tanks and while I do feed my outdoor clematis and trumpet vines I would NEVER use in the house or on plants I intend to eat.In the house -oh what a stink! Plus fish pass on disease to humans-that is why you should always sanitize your hands after cleaning tank.Any reputable store will tell you that-maybe that's why they all wear gloves and aprons? lol.
Reply:as long as you didn't put any of those chemical treatments in it (the kind that make the water suitable for your fish) then it should be fine.
