Default Water

As we all know, we have to hydrate plants. My questions are basically simple, but I can see how this thread could get a little complicated.

I have a 29 gallon Freshwater fish aquarium. This morning, I turned on the aquarium light and noticed that it's time to clean the aquarium. Another light turned on at the same time...hmm, using aquarium water to water plants.

First question: The product I that I use to remove chlorine for the aquarium is called, "Start Right". The container advertises, "Conditions tap water, removes chlorine, adds slime coat, and natural aloe vera". Would using the, "Start Right" to condition the water that I bottom water my tomato, pepper, and other garden seeds be better than just using tap water?

Another form of removing possible water contaminants is boiling the water.

Second Question: How about using the aquarium water that I need to remove to clean the aquarium? I usually throw the aquarium water into our compost bin. But now, I'm curious about using it for bottom watering my plants in their cells?

What do you think?
