Easy Root Tabs

I opened them again recently to use them and the casings got gooey and stuck together. Now this could just be me... I do live in a humid area. I also can't remember if they had an oxygen absorber and I just removed it or not. I was able to get them apart without breaking though and they still did their job... Actually I think it worked better because they didn't pop up.

These tabs work great, my aquarium plants are all thriving which helps keep my fish happy and the water clean

This is my second purchase. They have everything my stem plants crave. Apparently, shrimp do, too, as they have attempted to dig them up, so bury them deep.

I have used others that are non-encapsulated and they leach into the water column as I’m planting or if my goofball Loaches decide to dig them up a few weeks later and make the substrate look messy. These are easy (although they may spring up until you get the hang of them) and my plants look amazing! Will continue to restock these.

Worked great for my new plants. All of them are thriving. Aquarium co-op is great!

Just like the name, they are easy to use and I have seen great results out of my plants because of them.

Works great

Easy to use and my root feeding plants look great!!

I really love these root tabs my only complaint and reason for holding the fifth star is that I don't like the green gel cap outer coating because I wonder what is left over when that dissolves. We all know some of the competition presses their fertilizer tabs into wafers like a giant aspirin or something but that probably adds to the cost as well so perhaps a clear gel casing would ease my concerns at least about the dyes and chemicals associated with coloring the outside casing green. It just concerns me because dyes have been in the news lately causing bad health problems and I've got a 75 gallon tank, heavily planted and I like to use a lot of root tabs so I dropped 40 or 50 of those suckers in there every month and yeah I worry about that dye and whatever might be left over when they dissolve just being trapped in my substrate.

I really love this website and my overall experience as a freshwater aquarium hobbyist that prefers live plants to plastic has been easier and perhaps a little cheaper since finding this site. So I want to give credit where credit is due.

And those root Tabs are great. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because I just don't like the thought of that outer casing dissolving when I use so many in my 75 gallon planted tank. I'm talking about dropping 40 to 50 of those things in my substrate every month and I'm not saying they don't dissolve completely I'm just saying that's a lot of jelly dissolving in my tank and I wonder what effects that has. I like the tabs that are pressed together like a giant aspirin that have no outer casing like some of your competition makes but that would probably make them more expensive also. Perhaps a clear casing then at least I wouldn't worry about the green dye or chemicals associated with coloring the outer casing green. We all know that's been in the news lately also about banning foods and things that had these dyes in them and I know Corey and everyone at A.CoOp run a tight ship so I'm sure they probably checked into that for us already but you asked for my thoughts sooo....lol
