Description

API ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer promote strong roots. Without proper fertilization, aquarium plants gradually yellow, drop their leaves and die. Aquarium plants require essential nutrients for vibrant growth. API ROOT TABS for freshwater aquarium are formulated to supply key nutrients, including iron and potassium and carbon, to help new aquatic plants get off to a vigorous start and to keep established plants flourishing. These nutrients are consumed over time in the aquarium and must be replenished for plants to thrive. Add tablets monthly to ensure best results. API ROOT TABS are safe for use with tropical fish. With API Aquarium products, it’s easy to keep a beautiful saltwater, freshwater or reef aquarium. For over 50 years, API has been creating innovative, research-driven solutions that make it easier to care for your fish and aquarium. API Aquarium Treatment Supplies are designed to work in conjunction with each other to provide best results to control algae, promote healthy bacterial growth and help control and cure fish diseases and conditions such as ich and fin rot. They work to provide a safe, hospitable environment for fish such as tropical community fish, cichlids, goldfish and more. With API, you can spend more time admiring your fish, and less time scrubbing your tank. Make sure to use all products as directed in order to ensure the best results.

    • Great for planted tanks
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
Used these for my planted tank and they have Ben great. Good color and growth. I put them in every couple of months. Good value and quality. Provide the nutrients your plants need.

I bought these for a red tiger lotus in my betta's tank. I'm using stratum as substrate which isn't providing nutrients to the plant. You can see in the first pic that the leaves were tiny and really pale...almost translucent. I put a root tab under it and after a week I had big red leaves coming through. The second pic is about two weeks later and I'm just blown away by the color and size of the leaves now. It's amazing seeing the growth with the root tab added. I've got a 10 gallon tank and only two root feeders so I'm only using two tablets. If you've got a heavily planted tank it says to use 1 tablet for every 30 sq. Inches...so it would take 6 tablets to cover all the substrate in a ten gallon. Idk how often these will need replaced but for my purposes of only a couple plants needing them, it's a great buy and really happy with the results I'm seeing. Third pic is another week later and this thing is really showing itself now. Only thing I did to make it go from small and translucent to big and red is add a single root tab under it. Very happy with results! ... show more

    • Exceptionally and long lasting
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
Worked great on my Amazon sword and without a doubt worth the price especially when compared to other root tabs, each one last several months and got the average tank this is easily a years worth of root tabs

    • Work well. But use with caution
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
Super potent. Don’t follow directions. One or two per 10 gallon tank. I almost tanked my water nitrates with over putting it in since I have all live plants. They do work. Plants look great. Even my semi aquatic plants grew more root buds. But I have had to do more water changes to get everything stable. They melt fast before getting into substrate. So it made my water very milky which in that respect released a crap ton of nitrates into the water. Size is about the size of a Tums. ... show more

    • Work well
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
These definitely made my aquarium plants flourish! I have a low tech setup for my tanks, and these worked well to add nutrients to the soil as needed.

    • Starts dissolving as soon as it hits the water
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
Compared to other brands this started dissolving as soon as I got it into the water before I could even bury it under the sand. I probably won't buy this brand again

    • Great for root growth
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
I honestly didn’t think that this product would work, but I’ve definitely noticed a huge difference in my plants in my aquarium. I recently pulled them out to change the locations and the root growth has been crazy. I only use one a month so they will last you a while.

    • They work
Size: 10 Ct (Pack of 1)
Ive used these root tabs for about a year now and I’m pleased with how they worked. I have a plan to tank with Amazon swords and Crypts. I popped these under both and they are all flourishing.
