Stimulates growth in root-feeding plants
Full of essential plant nutrients and minerals
Safe for shrimp, snail, and fish

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.

Aquarium Co-Op Plant Supplies The Easy Bundle

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.

Root Tabs

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

Root tabs

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.

Aquarium Co-op root tabs

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

They work

Ive tried every root tabs just about. Seechem seemed to be qbout the best until i used easy tabs by Aqu Coop. My plants have grown inches in just about 7 days. Try them out and i bet youll agree qith me.

Plants and fertilizer

The plants arrived in excellent condition being it December none of them melted. All of them are thriving nicely with the addition of both easy green liquid and substrate fertilizer.

Easy root tabs

Unfortunately, I have not used mine as my plants were frozen upon arrival, but the tabs are safe and sound.

So far, I love these tabs. They are capsules instead of tablets. They are easy to place at the bottom of the substrate. My plants already show improvement.

Root tabs

The root taps really help with growth

Works great

I've used these and easy green liquid fertilizer exclusively for years now and they work great. I've never had issues with them in shrimp tanks, either.
The root tabs do very much so want to float, but if you have a thick enough substrate just put them in *at an angle* and get them as deep into it as you can and it should stay put.
