Sorry, bad link: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/diy-root-tabs-question-298438-2.html I would contact Mebbid on this.
Somewhat off topic: If you prefer already prepared root tabs but hate the high price, try Aqua Fertz Root Tabs from AquariumPlants.com. They are 75 tabs for about $10. They come in different blends including Total, Phosphate, and Iron. I have been using them for over a year with good results.

A few (4 longfin blue danios and 4 gold tetras plus 1 Amano shrimp).
The Aqua Fertz root pellets fit nicely into the pellet injector also from AquariumPlants. It is simple yet handy tool that allows you to place the pellets into the substrate without getting your hands wet or disrupting the substrate and layout.

My ears are burning I've been using those root tabs for about 8 months or so in a very heavily stocked tank. No noticeable issues other than my amazon sword got too large.

Sorry, I thought a link was sent out.

I made a new thread about them because it's easier than explaining my process over and over again

All, Here in Australia, and I am sure that the same will apply to other countries,we have a product called Osmocote - that are used for ponds and planted ponts, for their ferts, I have been using these as root tabs in my home tank for years and they last for over 6 months. Nice and easy and not expensive - and they work well. Here is a link - Osmocote® Plus Trace Elements - Water Gardens & Aquatic Plants | Scotts Australia

That's where I got the idea from, but could not be bothered with the making it yourself - pills.. So I bought the ready made bells - last me years

I understand. I believe my DIY tabs will last years as well.
