Aquarium Advice Obsessed
Austin.b said:Yeah, feel free to ask away!! With sand, you use root tabs. They're basically little tablets you put under the sand and they slowly release nutrients to the roots of the plants. Petsmart and petco sell API and Seachem ones, or you can make your own which is a little more difficult then just buying them. Bobstropicalplants.com also sells them, but his are MUCH cheaper for what you get
You can use osmocote granules. Very cheap and easy. Freeze some in ice cubes and stick in the substrate. That's what I use.
