Ok guys and girls, so here are the plants I removed from my 55 planted to BB. I used the water from the 55 to fill the 30 gallon planted tank. My ph is bout 6.6 in discus tank. Since i know plants use ammonia and nitrates and filter the water, its the same temp as my discus, I checked in planted tank, 0 ammonia and nitrates now and ph is 6.1. To save on water cause I use RO half tap in age barrel, When i syphon out the poop on first go, I can empty the water the plants are in and fill it with water after poop is gone and fill the planted tank with the disgarded water to filter again. Will this work? What would be things to watch out for. I know some people use plants in refugium tank systems, I think.
