API ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 13 g 10-Count Box

Product Information

I recommend getting the All-in-One Thrive if you’re a beginner at feeding aquarium plants but aim for either moderately or a heavily planted tank that has a professional look to it.

Some people may start wondering why they should still use aquarium plant fertilizers, though there already is some fish waste to manure the plants. Thrive’s bottle design makes each pressing of the pump enough to supply plant nutrition for a whole 10-gallon fish tank.Another difference is that while each of the original Osmocote lasts only four months, Osmocote Plus granules remain active for six months, dutifully providing plant food to the aquarium for longer periods of time. For this reason, all-in-one aquarium fertilizers should contain both macro and micronutrients to provide sufficient food for the aquatic plants. If you use the same water in your aquarium, you have to consider the possibility that some of it may end up on your shrimp’s table. My tank’s plants reacted almost immediately and there’s a noticeable difference in their colors, probably in the next 2 to 3 days.

Tip #1: To reduce ammonia spikes, you need to dig them deep into the substrate. In addition, it will prevent them from floating up because of the air in the gel tabs. Reading the label, however, you’d that see their main strength comes from their micronutrient complex. Of course, we can buy root tabs. However, one benefit of root tabs is that you can make them on your own and it’s quite easy, so long as you have some empty gel caps and the necessary nutrients to combine the two. You can then place your own gel cap (root tabs) in the substrate for your plants to enjoy. API Co2 Booster– can be applied independently or with a CO2 system without changing aquarium pH levels Osmocote Plus contains all the macronutrients, i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (N, P, K) plus the micronutrients.

How to Use Root Tabs

If you’re struggling with measurement, use the cap as a guide. Simply put 1 cap of fertilizer per 10-gallon water. Another way to get the precise measurment is using a dosing spoon. I like the Ezy Dose spoon as it has always helped me to get the accurate measurement.
