Reusing waste water?

[Acpape0]

Does anyone repurpose water change water for use in the garden?
Is this practical? I love my veggies and my fish maybe it can be a symbiotic relationship (well sorta)
Thoughts?

I use it on house plants and sometimes flowers, but not stuff I'm going to eat... you know, just in case.

putting the python out the window and into the shrubs below is reusing it, right?

I also use buckets of tank water to clean my prefilters and, far less frequently, to clean my canisters, and then pour the sludge on various plants in my gardens. The plants seem to appreciate it, although I can't say it causes Giant Beanstalk effects or anything like that.

Yep, same here!!!

I also re-use fish bodies by planting them in potted plants or burying them under rose bushes, etc. They make good fertilizer. Not that I like doing this, but if you lose 'em, you might as well use 'em.

I built this box outside my window specifically for this purpose. I am going to put in some sort of gutter system to distribute the water better/more evenly.

When I've used that kind of fertilizer outside, I've often found the plants dug up, presumably by raccoons looking for the fish body.

Repurposing water today.....

I pump all of the water from my tanks on the 2nd story out to the roof over my porch. The water collects in the gutter that dump into our flower beds. The plants love it!
