Re: [APD] Proper disposal of Aquatic plants and hobbyist

Yes, raise the question whether dumping potassium permanganate is a judicious thing. I think household bleach actually breaks down more easily. Although, it's just as likely to discolor clothing ;-)

Also, I don't think most folks know how long water has to be exposed to UV of a given strength to be "purified" in a single pass. Running 50% water changes through a UV probably would have a noticeable impact on maintenance schedules. So, I fear UV and potassium perm are probably not suggestions that will get much mileage in the real world.

Would placing the water and plants into a black bucket (like them black 
square plastic mixing pans) be a good place to let the water evaporate, 
and plants dry to *death* (in the hot sun), be a good way for disposal?

I'm thinking KEEP IT SIMPLE...no chemicals et al.

Evaporation in the sun should leave just the dried up elements, I would 
guess. After it's dried and gone, let the worms have it, or send down 
the garbage disposal? In my case, to my septic tank? I don't have an 
incinerator...though I do have a flame thrower (propane torch).

There was a time when people used to throw all their trash out the 
windows of speeding cars (1960-ish).
