Totally off base, unless you like horticulture

Do ya think the stuff my skimmer collects would be good for my house plants or does it contain things that would be harmful?

Finally!
A use for my Horticulture degree here.
I believe that it would be good for your plants if it were from a freshwater tank. Unfortunately, there would be too much salt in skimmer liquid from a marine tank to be healthy for plants. Salt is a problem that most plants cannot deal with. Basically, only a few specialized plants species (weeds) can grow in a salty environment. Sorry.
Good luck.

yup. i agree with zafira. too much salt. otherwise, would be great. i don't have any formal training in horticulture, but i've worked as a landscaper (among other things) for 6 years.
