ThriveCaps | Aquarium Root Tab/Caps | NA Premium Root Caps 60 Count(1 gram Each) (2x60ct Jars)

I’ve been using this for month and I would not get another root fertilizer. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and it’s easy to apply. Super effective and the plants love it. Good sized tablets. Providing nutrients for a long time

I love these capsules. They don't dissolve like the API ones while you're trying to get them in the substrate. If you pinch them and let the air out, they do not float. I've been using these about 3 months now, and have not had any come back up. My plants are all looking very healthy and green, and are growing much faster now. Also super cost effective!

I really like these as a supplement to liquid fertilizers. I think they really helped my new plants root. That being said, you really have to make sure they go deep into your substrate or else they will float, bloat, and explode all over your tank.

The caps like to float and don't always stay buried very well. Or a couple days later, a weird greenish bubble will be coming up out of the sand. It's not a big deal, really, you just push it back down. Now I just squeeze them and bend them in half before stuffing them under the substrate. Gets most of the air out, lets a little water in easier - seems to help them stick. Otherwise, plant growth seems good so I keep using them. I also like that they're easy to open if I'm setting up a new tank I just open a few and sprinkle the innards down before I put substrate in.

Has supercharged my aquatic plant growth. Just be sure to bury tabs as deep as possible to avoid clouding the water. Works great!

Works well to keep certain plants to thrive in a gravel tank. They do float so you have to be careful when inserting them. I use a long, bent arm tweezer to push into the gravel.

I have two tanks - one moderately planted with gravel and sand, and one heavily planted with sand. I swap plants back and forth sometimes, and the plants definitely grow better in the heavily planted, sanded tank. I figured root tabs might help the moderately planted gravel sand tank, and I have a couple of plants in the sanded heavily planted that would benefit as well. I started with Seachem Flourish tabs from my lfs just to get started. Pricey per tab. NilocG is well regarded in the community, so I checked them out. The full set of nutrients and price per tab made the purchase a no-brainer. I put several in at strategic locations throughout the larger, moderately planted tank. I quickly noticed a significant rise in nitrates. I suspected the NilocG tabs, and a bit of research confirmed this. This did not occur with the Seachem tabs. I guess that's the trade-off for a full set of nutrients. If you're dosing an all-in-one liquid fert, is a full dose of ferts necessary at the roots, or is just supplemental adequate? I don’t know. In the moderately planted, gravel and sand tank they seem okay. I have good target spots to put them; plant growth has been good lately. The ones under gravel seem to stay down under the weight, and I put it under a rock at the one sand spot. The other tank, however…I can't get the capsules to stay down at all. Ever. If my life depended on it. Can't do it. Tried every technique here including punching holes, and some others I thought up. They either erupt as I'm wrestling with them, or they will gradually crest out of the substrate. They semi-dissolve quickly, so if you don't get them in right away, trying to push them back will just rupture them. They attract my corys, though, and they're fun to watch. Besides the fun corys, about they only thing these are good for in my sanded, heavily planted tank is releasing fertilizer into the water column and jacking up my nitrates.

My plants love it! I take a needle and carefully poke a tiny hole in both sides of capsule before I bury it in the substrate. That way it doesn't try to float up especially in sand substrate.

Tres bon produit pour les racines des plantes et pour la santé des plantes.

Great product. My plants have doubled in size in a month

These work awesome. They're working much better than the other big brand names I won't mention. Only problem is they are capsules, and they float. Not as bad as osmocote tabs, these are a little heavier, but they need to weigh them down more.

Pour mes plantes bon pruduits
