Default aquarium water on compost heap??

cant see a problem

Could someone advise me please if I would do any damage to the compost

heap
if I poured the waste water from an aquarium onto it after cleaning out

the
filter. The water would be slightly acidic and would contain

amonia,amonium,
trace elements of nitrates, some nitrites and de-nitrifying bacteria in
smallish amounts. The ph would be between 6.5 and 7.2. I would be

discarding
about 20gallons per fortnight, too much for the heap but would a few

gallons
do any harm.

Thanks in advance
Shan
