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 the contents of the capsule are released into the water column.
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.

Works well for my lotus plants. Doesnt harm my snails at all unlike some other "invertebrate friendly" brands of root tabs and liquid fertilizers

I always keep these in supply
Plants are a big part of my tank and watching them grow and thrive and multiply is hugely satisfying. I use these tabs with every plant in my tank, many of which I have now divided more than once. They are pretty easy to use and my plants have healthy and abundant roots.

Easy Root Tabs Boosting My Plant Growth
I recently tried the Easy Root Tabs, and while I found it a bit tricky to insert them into the substrate at first, there are plenty of helpful YouTube tutorials that made the process much easier. Once I figured out that you need to poke a hole in the tab and insert it at an angle, it was simple to use. After using them, my plants are thriving and showing great growth, so I’m really happy with the results. Overall, they’re effective, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to boost plant growth!

Awesome price point
I love getting these instead of the “popular brand”…way more concentrated product at a HUGE difference in price. Don’t pay for the name brand. If like me you’re used to tablets, two tips. Just squeeze and twist the capsule to sprinkle over substrate before gravel. Or pinprick each end to bury under substrate without the hassle of it getting away from you.
