API Root Tabs Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 10-Count

Deep-Rooted Nutrition for a Lush Aquascape

Many of the most popular aquarium plants are "root feeders," meaning they struggle to thrive on liquid fertilizers alone. API Root Tabs deliver essential nutrients directly to the root zone, where they are needed most. These concentrated tablets transform ordinary gravel or sand into a nutrient-rich "growth zone," ensuring your plants grow thick stems and vibrant green leaves.

Why Your Plants Crave Root Tabs:

• Rich in Essential Iron: Formulated with a potent dose of Iron (Fe) to prevent yellowing leaves and promote the deep reds and vivid greens of healthy aquatic flora.

• Long-Lasting Formula: Each tablet provides a steady release of nutrients, feeding your plants for a full month before needing a replacement.

• Targeted Delivery: By burying the nutrients in the substrate, you feed the plants—not the algae. This minimizes the risk of algae blooms often caused by over-dosing liquid fertilizers.

• Safe for All Inhabitants: These tabs are specifically designed to be safe for freshwater fish and sensitive invertebrates like shrimp and snails.

• Stronger Root Systems: Encourages deep, robust root growth, which helps anchor plants and creates a more stable underwater environment.

The "Heavy Feeder" Solution:

If you are keeping Amazon Swords, Cryptocoryne, Vallisneria, or Lotus, Root Tabs are not just an option—they are a necessity. These species have massive root structures that can quickly deplete the natural nutrients in your substrate.

How to Use:

1. Placement: Using tweezers or your fingers, push one tablet deep into the substrate near the base of the plant.

2. Spacing: Place one tablet for every 30 square inches (194\text{ cm} 2) of substrate.

3. Frequency: Add new tablets once a month for optimal growth.

4. Pro-Tip: For large "Mother" plants, place two tabs on opposite sides of the root crown to ensure even nutrient distribution.
