flyfisher Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Spotted a 45 pint dehumidifier while at Princess Auto $199.99 brand Haier might come in handy for some of your fish rooms. Fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlyriser Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have a a portable air conditioner/dehumidifier. Just wondering about the water it collects. I have to assume that's pure water, equivalent to reverse osmosis. Anybody know if it is, and if it's usable in aquariums? I can actually get a few gallons a week. Great for dwarf cichlid breeding if its safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have a a portable air conditioner/dehumidifier. Just wondering about the water it collects.

Great for dwarf cichlid breeding if its safe. On the advice from some very reputable breeders in North America, I was using it for a while on my mainly SA system. However, it started to grow some slime, so I bleached it and no longer use the water on my tanks. For me, it lasted about 3 months before I had to bleach it.

Sprucegruve Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I did the same thing as jvision for awhile,until the slime started in the dehumidifier Now I collect it in a bucket and aerate it for an hOur or so,then you can water your soft water plants. If you don't aerate the water the dissolved oxygen content is very low and can shock or drown a sensitive plants.
