Aquarium Co-Op Easy Root Tabs

Aquarium Co-Op Easy Root Tabs

Targeted Nutrition for Plant Roots

  • Stimulates growth in root-feeding plants 
  • Full of essential plant nutrients and minerals
  • Safe for shrimp, snail, and fish

If you have rooted plants in your aquarium, Easy Root Tabs are a great option to give your plants even more nutrients than substrate and fish waste alone. They're packed with mineralized top soil containing red clay and many other essential minerals plants need to thrive. Unlike many other aquarium root tabs out there, Easy Root Tabs do not contain ammonia-based ingredients and will not cause harmful effects if exposed to the water column. 

Directions/Specifications

Simply insert Easy Root Tabs into your substrate and they will dissolve over time, releasing nutrients for plants to feed on. Insert 1 root tab every 4 to 6 inches in a grid-like pattern. Replace every month or as needed depending on plant usage. Push the root tab at least 1 inch into the substrate for best results.

Easy Root Tabs - Aquarium Co - Op

Monthly Plant Supplement

Our Easy Root Tabs make it easier to deliver fertilizer right to the roots of your plants. Our blend of mineralized top soil and nutrients provides all the essential building blocks that plants need to grow and thrive. Replenish monthly or as needed to keep your plants looking their best.


Hungry Root Feeders

Many plants like Cryptocoryne and sword plants prefer feeding from their roots and need nutrient-rich substrate. If these plants start yellowing and melting back, feed them lots of root tabs to ensure they grow big and healthy leaves.

Stronger Roots

When you use root tabs, this encourages the plant to grow stronger and more plentiful root structures. This helps prevent the plant from getting accidentally uprooted by Corydoras and other fish that dig for food.

 


Root Tab Placement

When first planting, place root tabs directly under the plant. Each month you can expand outwards with the root tabs as the roots will continue to stretch out through the substrate. Large plants often need several root tabs — 1 in the center and a few in a circle around the plant.

Usable in all Substrates

All substrates can use root tabs. The goal is to have a rich-nutrient substrate that consists of a mix of fish poo and nutrients. Root tabs bring the essential nutrients that can be missing from your fish food. Enriched aqua soils start out as a rich nutrient substrate, but over time the nutrients are consumed and need to be replaced or re-mineralized with root tabs.

 


Fish, Shrimp, and Snail Safe

Easy Root Tabs are safe for fish, shrimp, and snails. They are best planted at least an inch below the surface of the substrate.
