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.

Haven’t been in my tank long but noticing better growth!
I have only been using these root tabs for about 2 weeks, after using none for 3 months, and already I am seeing substantial growth!

Plants Love It
I have heavily planted tanks. My nymphaeas grow like crazy with these tabs. I had a struggling sword plant that is now vibrant green. Crypts love it too

root tabs should sink, these tabs float
Great for my plants but difficult to use because they are super buoyant. Something that belongs in the substrate should naturally sink, not float. Worth 5 stars if they didn't float.

Excellent product
This product is amazing! Until I started following the aquarium co op my fish hobby was a disaster. This product especially has saved my plants.
