supposedly being released as a product in 2010, this seems to me like a possibly inadequate solution... but it's an interesting start.

the way rain water is filtered is by going though the soil, it may work or it may end up being like peat. who knows, only trying it would tell...

just like aqurium plants, those plants need other nutrients as well. and how long untill the soil becomes saturated with nitrate? i think that the soil would eventually become polluted and would not be able to hold nutrients and would dump back into the tank.

It's basically just another refugium.

Plants still need potassium, zink, iron, and other elements that might be harmful to fish or cause algae. I doubt that you could grow tomatoes in it like it states on the website. Some mosses, on the other hand, might work if water is dripping over it or mangroove.

well if you adjust your diet accordingly to be high in potassium, zinc, iron, and other elements essential to plant growth you just might be able to use it as a toilet tank.
