Re: [Killietalk] Anyone growing houseplants in the fishroom?

[Drummond Howard <drummondhoward at hotmail_com>]

I have found my houseplants love water from my aquariums and the more house plants I have the more water changes I have to do to keep them alive.  Unfortunately I could turn my house into a jungle and it wouldn't be enough to keep the fish happy.  I actually had people asking me to bring them gallons of fish water for thie plants.  Someone should be able to make money selling this stuff.Drummond HowardGaithersburg, Maryland> Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 15:43:53 -0600> From: woodland_gardens at gmail.com> To: killietalk at aka_org> Subject: Re: [Killietalk] Anyone growing houseplants in the fishroom?> > We just threw one out this fall that was in the greenhouse for at> least 10 years.
