Aquarium water in DWC

Can I use my aquarium water in my DWC???

I don’t know about the aquarium water. Don’t want to tell you something wrong. I do know that I use tap water and a water conditioner, like you would in an aquarium, and it works great

Aqueon Aquarium Tap Water… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00176AYTI?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
This is what I use.
2.5ml for 5gal water. I have a 50gal system, so I only use 25ml when I do a complete change. At that rate, a gallon last a long time


And the plants seem to like it

Looks good. Something to consider for sure.cheers

Please tell me about the water conditioner

It removes chlorine and chloride IMMEDIATELY, plus your tap water contains beneficial elements. I don’t use as much calmag for one

I saw an article where the guy was using his aquarium AS the DWC. Fish and everything. Claimed the fish-poop fed the plants.

Sounds promising. I feel an experiment of my own in the wind I think

It’s definitely a thing people do grow this way.

That’s a beautiful thing. A few nice ones would look brilliant in that setup.

That’s what I am wanting to try DWC in an aquarium with fish

Wouldn’t this be aquaponics?
