Proper disposal of chemicals.

I may be being overly cautious but I was wondering how everyone disposes of the by products of testing and coral dips and so on. Are septic systems a consideration? Ideas?

I put them down the sink. It’s never caused an issue for me.

Are you on septic? If so, how long have you been on it? Thanks.

Down the sink drain and I’m on septic

No I’m on city sewer, but I would still be putting them down the drain even if I were on a septic tank. I can’t believe that the relatively tiny amount of hobby chemicals that we would put into a septic tank could amount to anything. I also doubt that very many of the chemicals we use in the hobby are all that dangerous anyway.

That was the conclusion I came to. When I thought about what I use to clean my toilet I figured 10 ml of weird chemicals would be the least of my septic tanks worries.

That makes sense, I've got a move coming up in a few months and I'll be on septic so it got me thinking about things I hadn't considered before. Thanks for the reply!
