Right now my tank is in the Nitrite stage of the cycle. Would it be alright to water my plants with this water?

I read that plants like ammonium better.

Yah, that's not a problem, I do it all the time, and my plants thrive. Just don't water anything that produces fruit or veggies that you intend to eat.

Why wouldn't you water fruit/ veggies with it? I've never heard that before.

Tank water wont hurt Veggies. Why would it? Seems to me that the chlorine from the tap would be worse.

The only reason not to use tank water on veggies is if you are using medications or other toxins. Other than that, if you wash the veggies before eating, you're fine.

Don't put water from saltwater tanks on the garden, though! ;)
