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.

Fixing my brown thumb

This is a must have if you want your rooted plants to grow.

Works great!

I can really tell a difference when I use them regularly. They are the best iv come across and we'll worth the money! They have made my crypts the biggest iv had.

Visible growth

I received these with a micro sword plant, and used it after snapping off most of the roots with my clumsy fumbling. Thought I would kill the plant. Next I slid one under a P. Octopus with wimpy roots I bought from a local swap, and a crypt with awesome roots (go figure the guy who owns a greenhouse can grow aquatic plants too) from the same meet. Less than a month later the micro sword is growing daughter plants, the p octopus has 2 new branches and a new stem, and the crypt only melted 4 leaves, then started adding more and is spreading in less than a month. Seems like they work to me!

Great little store

I love this store, they are so helpful and have a lot of knowledge.

Root tabs work well

These come as capsules and are easy to bury in the substrate. They have the Amazon swords and crypts growing strong.

Stays in place

They have worked in my aquarium for my dwarf sag and cabomba. They're easy to place in the gravel and stay in place.

Perfect size for the ez planters

I tossed 2 under my easy planters on a previous order. They make the plants explode in size and they're easy to use.

Root tabs

Love these root tabs! They are easy to put in the tank and don't take long to start working.

Gets soggy and sticks together

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.
