I keep a couple of tropical fish tanks and was wondering if the waste
water after water changes would be benificial or harmful to garden
plants, seems a shame to flush 40l a week if it could be doing some
good in the garden instead.

It's great for the garden. But, what are you doing with 40l changes a week??
When I kept tropicals, I only did partial changes if water parameters were
off the normal. unnecessary changes will stress your fish.

Large tank? Lots of tanks?
