Tossed in a bunch of feeder goldfish to deal with any potential mosquitoes, and done with it.

Need to measure the TDS of the output, might want to use that water of a softie tank

I've always wondered if I could use the waste water for another type of tank, say a freshwater planted or something. I'm embarrassed to say I don't know what R/O waste water has in it
