These root tabs look good? Anyone tried?

This is made for pond Lily's and pond plants. Looked at the label and it seems pretty ideal.


Anyone tried it? It's fairly cheap for our use. I don't think I saw too big a difference when I used it but I also only added a few dozen pellets to a 20 gallon.

As long as you never, ever want to keep shrimps or snails in this tank

Copper gets into the silicone and leaches back out

I don't know anything about this product, but "polymer coated" is where I stop. You might be left with odd colored shells of granules that don't dissolve similar to Osmocote. Then you're stuck with mismatched substrate looking ugly. I use bits of fresh aquasoil or APT Jazz. I bought some large capsules and filled them with APT Feast to shove under plants I want to give a boost. It only took a few minutes to make a bunch that will last me a long time, and the ammonia isn't released into the larger tank possibly upsetting stability.

Hmm I don't usually mind the miscolor. It's just a little grow out tank.
