Well, I'm a big DIY guy so I was pondering root tabs. Seems you can get some great results from this recipe: DIY - Root Tabs and save money! Anybody attempted this project or have some input?
These are great root tabs made by yours truly with a blend of N P K and CSM+B (that's macros + micros) held together by a very high quality completely raw carbondale red clay (really high in iron).
The rough ingredient percentages are as follows
Clay- 48%
CSM+B 32%
Magnesium Sulfate 8%
Potassium Sulfate 8%
Potassium Nitrate 4%
Here's a recipe:

I still have DIY Osmocote Plus root caps ( old formula ).

Capsules seem to be the cheaper route. Does it matter what size the capsules are?

A ton. Enough to last for years unless you have a ton of tanks. If you are only working with a few tanks it's probably a lot cheaper and easier to buy some premade ones on ebay.
