Hey I was wandering if osmacote plant fertz would work for a planted tank.
Thanks
Thanks
Do you think I could just use it by itself instead of putting it in root tabs. If it is simple to make root tabs please tell me. It would be great!You talking about this stuff? I make root tabs out of this and it works great. View attachment 297337

Where can I get gel caps from? Sorry, new to planted tanks.It's super easy. To be honest if you do not already have gel caps to use what you do is freeze some in ice cubes and plant the cubes. Problem is with then being so small it's hard to get under substrate if you don't use caps or ice. With gel caps I just use tweezers and bury them all the way on bottom is substrate. You would do the same with ice cubes. Just get a normal size ice tray. Fill about half way with RO water and put some osmocote in each tray. Freeze then bury all the way bottom of substrate.
Key is getting then as far down as possible. Do not want them just sitting on top is substrate and fish think it's a snack and eats.

Thank you for the help.
Brendenscott, how often do you fertilize with these DIY tabs and is there a rule of how many sqaure inch of substrate area?

Just in case you are short on time... 200 osmo tabs $12 shipped.

Very good deal if you ask me. That would last you years.
They do work but some of the "balls" don't disintegrate for some reason. I've been chasing these things down for a while. These have been in this tank a year at least......anyone else have this problem? View attachment 297441
