i haven't thought much about the water that i siphon out of the tank, which i will. as for the plants that i trim out, i always leave the trimmings to sit in a bucket to dry out, which is usually a few days or when i remember why i have a bucket full of useless potpourri. from there i dispose of it with the rest of my trash.

but once i get things setup properly, i will be taking my trimmings to the pet store i purchase my plants from for store credit. this way no plants are introduced into the wild by me, and i make some money out of the deal.

i will wait for more posts to comment further.

btw: great thread!
