So today I was sitting by the fish pond, thinking what the water quility, regarding nutritional value and so on...

Ivé got koi in the pond and the water is filtered with a bio-filter and then passes through a UV light with kills all the bad bacteria and nitrites.

Do you recon you could use pond water for a bubbler system and how would the plant react?

Currently germinating a few seeds a got in Kenya and ganna try it out.

I bet the UV sterilizer would kill potential parasites in the water. I have always thought about feeding my plants with only aquarium water with fish manure in it to see how it would work. I have 3 aquariums and they generate a lot of fish shit.

even with the uv light, it is far to easy for parasites, larva, and all sorts of trouble to get indoors. At any given time, the pond is still filled with nasties. The water passing through the filter is clean, but it immediatly mixes with contaminated pond water. While you most likely would get lucky and avoid anything harmful, I think the risks still outweigh the advantages.
