I know we have growers out there that do aquaponics with fish.
What I was wondering; I change the goldfish water about once a month.

Usually just through it out side.....Can I use that water for my girls? If so, straight?....Deluted?

Anyone ever give this a try?

I vacuum 10 gallons a week out of my Koi tank and use the water straight or with nutes.I like to ring out the filter and use it as a base for teas

T, do you use in veg and bloom?...Understanding that it might be high in N.
Therefore possibly adding fresh clean water to the bucket of fish water..to limit the amount of N in bloom.

i use the usual amount of maxsea or cal mag about 3/4 label dosage. Part of the reason i do this is for the fish.

The girls get nothing but water right out of the Koi pond brought to the same temp as my grow room. It's very clear water until you stir up the bottom.
