Always great product. Never a problem
You must use this. I used this all the time on all my planted tanks. Great for all plants. The root tabs are solid without plastic gel shell. Disolves 100%. Easy to press into planted substrate. If you’re serious about maintaining a lush, healthy planted tank, root tablets are an essential. My swords, crypts and vals look great. A++

Great For Using In Your Planted Aquariums Substrate
I have been using Seachem Flourish plant tabs in my planted aquarium for the past few years, in conjunction with T-5 linear fluourescent lighting and CO2 injection, and the results have been impressive.Dwarf Hairgrass and Microsword not only carpet quickly, but maintain a lush green color that really highlights these aquaria.I have several planted aquariums and add a few plant tabs to each one - every three or four months or so - after the tabs planted earlier dissolve into the substrate.So it's cheaper for me to purchase these tabs in a larger size box when possible.Seachem's 40 tab box is about three times the price of Seachem's 10 tab box, which means that you get about 10 free plant tabs per box with the larger version.I go through a few of these boxes each year, and consider plant tabs a necessity for planted aquaria that use an inert sand substrate.I also use Seachem Flourish liquid fertilizer once a week in my planted tanks, which works well in conjunction with the plant tabs.However, a word to the wise here. If you are using a high-tech lighting system which also includes injected CO2 and fertilizer supplementation of some kind, you should also consider adding a uv sterilizer to your aquarium to keep the algae and bacteria growth to a minimum.If you don't, you are probably going to find that your water is always going to be cloudy, regardless of how often you do water changes, and whatever filter media you use - including a micron filter.The reason for this is that when one uses these high tech lighting systems with CO2 and fertilizer enhancement, it usually results in far more nutrients being available in an aquarium's water column.This in turn can result in an exponential growth of bacteria, parasites, viruses and other pathogens in the water table, as well as algae, which will cause your water to become cloudy.A bad algae bloom will also result in green water so thick, that the fishkeeper will have a difficult time even seeing their fish or plants.This author has found that the best way to avoid this scenario is to use an ultra violet sterilizer, in order to remove these organisms before they can reproduce.The added benefit in doing so is that your fish will remain healthier, because there will be far fewer pathogens in your aquarium's water table.Moreover, plant growth will improve as well, because your plants will not have to compete for the nutrients in your aquarium's water column, in the way that they would if a larger number of pathogens and algae spores were present.Given that there are many UV sterilizers available for under $100 these days, this is great news for the fishkeeper.In fact, AquaTop (the only aquarium filter manufacturer on the market to do so) sells three different power filters with UV sterilizers built into them (PF-15UV, PF-25UV, PF-40UV), which are capable of uv sterilizing aquariums ranging from 15 to 40 gallons.I own one of each of these UV sterilizer/power filters, for various aquaria, and have found them to work quite well at keeping the water tables in my planted aquariums crystal clear - something I could not say prior to installing them on my tanks.UV sterilizers are no longer just for marine aquariums, since many freshwater fishkeepers are finding tremendous benefits to using them in their planted aquariums.And fortunately, there are now many affordable uv sterilizers on the market, each of which will ensure that your aquarium's water stays crystal clear, and safe for your fish and plants.

Lush and Green!
I've tried all sorts of fertilizers over the years with mixed results. Liquid fertilizers tended to grow too much algae, even if they did add a bit of "umph" to the plants in various tanks, making it a weekly chore to prune leaves infested with slimy green gunk.And then I discovered these Flourish Tabs - great stuff. About the size of a candy gum drop, you simply insert them into the gravel bed around your plants throughout the aquarium! No more measuring out liquids to dose every few days and, more importantly to me, much less algae now that the nutrients aren't necessarily put in as a liquid into the water column. Not to mention that, at least in my case, it seems more cost effective than using liquid fertilizers.My plants (everything from tiger lotus, various swords, water sprite, and a ton of others) began to respond within a few days of putting in the tabs. I love the fact that they easily last a month or so before you need add more and it's easy to do during regular tank maintenance.I love it, my plants love it, my fish love the plants, and my wife loves I'm not spending a ton of money on bottles of liquid fertilizer, so we're all happy!

Keeps my Amazon Swords nice and healthy
I'd been dabbling with live plants in my aquariums with freshwater angelfish. I had picked up some amazon swords. The local seller had recommended that I put a tab every month at near the base of each plant, or place one in each of my pots to keep the plants healthy.I figured waste material from the fish in the tank + sunlight would be fine, but I did a test. I put a tab near the roots in one of my pots, and one without. I noticed that after 2 weeks, the one without the pellet had yellowing leaves near the edges. While this is sort of expected when a plant is transported into a different aquarium and new water conditions, the other plant was fine... so I put a tablet in my substrate for that plant as well.Now 2 months later, the plants are all thriving and the fish in the aquarium are as well. I was initially worried that the plant tabs might have an adverse effect on them, but they seem fine.The product works for my purposes and seems like a good value.

Perfect for root feeding aquatic plants
I have a planted 65 gallon tank. 65 gallon tanks are tall which means its hard to grow anything above a lowlight plant without some very intense LED lights. I keep mostly crypts and jungle Val and they absolutely love these root tabs. I have to cut several feet of jungle Val out every few weeks as the leaves cover the surface of the tank and soak up all the light. I have started controlling the growth rates by only placing the root tabs in areas where I want the jungle Val to grow and it seems to be working. The tabs last about 3-4 months for me (I have ecocomplete gravel substrate) before I have to add more. If you have heavy root feeders like amazon swords you will go through tabs much quicker. I change my water with RO water and test the water column frequently and I never have noticed any kind of leeching from the tablets into the water column. These aren’t the cheapest root tabs but Seachem is the gold standard in aquarium supplements and I have always had great experience with their root tabs as well as other fertilizers.
