I bought some Seachem Flourish Tabs for my plants. I want to make sure I use them correctly. The box says to place them every six inches. I have a couple Amazon Swords, Moneywort, a few crypts, some anubias - should I just place them between the plants under the sand so that multiple plants will benefit from one tab? Also, the box says that the tabs should be replaced ever 3-4 months - will there actually be a tab to take out/replace or will it dissolve completely?
 
i usually just stick them under my root feeders such as swords. other plants like moneywort wont benefit from them.

i've never taken any out either. i just stick them in every once in a while
 
They dissolve really fast. every 4-6 months is a lie if you have strong light and co2. More like every 2 months you shove a few in.
 
put them around the heavy root feeders such as the amazon sword and crypts. the others done need them.
 
Thanks - I'll put them around my swords and crypts. I don't have CO2 or strong light, so should be fine that way.
