Review: Great for planted tanks - Used these for my planted tank and they have Ben great. Good color and growth. I put them in every couple of months. Good value and quality. Provide the nutrients your plants need. Review: Wow! Noticeable difference within a week! - I bought these for a red tiger lotus in my betta's tank. I'm using stratum as substrate which isn't providing nutrients to the plant. You can see in the first pic that the leaves were tiny and really pale...almost translucent. I put a root tab under it and after a week I had big red leaves coming through. The second pic is about two weeks later and I'm just blown away by the color and size of the leaves now. It's amazing seeing the growth with the root tab added. I've got a 10 gallon tank and only two root feeders so I'm only using two tablets. If you've got a heavily planted tank it says to use 1 tablet for every 30 sq. Inches...so it would take 6 tablets to cover all the substrate in a ten gallon. Idk how often these will need replaced but for my purposes of only a couple plants needing them, it's a great buy and really happy with the results I'm seeing. Third pic is another week later and this thing is really showing itself now. Only thing I did to make it go from small and translucent to big and red is add a single root tab under it. Very happy with results! ## Features - Contains one (1) API ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0. 4-Ounce 10-Count Box - Promotes strong root development for lush plants in freshwater aquariums - Contains essential nutrients including iron, potassium and carbon - Helps new aquatic plants get off to a vigorous start and to keep established plants flourishing - Add tablets to gravel bed every month to ensure best results ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003OYMOWQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,053 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #134 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | API | | Brand Name | API | | Coverage | Full | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,294 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00317163035771 | | Item Form | Tablets | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Plant Fertilizer | | Item Weight | 13 Grams | | Manufacturer | Mars Fishcare | | Mixing Ratio | 1:30 | | Model Number | 577C | | Number of Items | 72 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | 577C | | Specific Uses For Product | Aquarium,Plant Growth,Root Development | | Target Species | Aquarium Plants | | UPC | 317163035771 | | Unit Count | 10 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** API - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00317163035771 - **Item Form:** Tablets - **Item Weight:** 29 Grams - **Specific Uses For Product:** Aquarium,Plant Growth,Root Development ## Images ![ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0.4-Ounce 10-Count Box - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QInbJFs9L.jpg) ![ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0.4-Ounce 10-Count Box - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/918GNrXb+iL.jpg) ![ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0.4-Ounce 10-Count Box - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ODViQXr0L.jpg) ![ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0.4-Ounce 10-Count Box - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TVQOgBetL.jpg) ![ROOT TABS Freshwater Aquarium Plant Fertilizer 0.4-Ounce 10-Count Box - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KgBa5iQzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: are they copper free?** A: yes. no copper. api has a phone number you can call for more info. i have found them very helpful when i had questions. **Q: My tank is 30 gl I need use how many tablets?** A: The instructions say you should use 1 tablet for every 30 square inches of gravel surface area. Most 29 gallons are 30" x 12", which is a total of 360 square inches. Divide that by the recommended 30 square inches per tablet and you will need to use 12 tablets for the aquarium, once per month. Of course, that's providing your aquarium is 30" x 12". **Q: i have a 20 gallon tank, can i use theese with the liquid c02 booster and leaf zone or flourish excel?? or will i be adding to much.** A: I use them with leaf zone and flourish Excel... no problem so far...I do not treat the whole tank with this tabs... I only add them to specific plants that need more nutrients such as my aponogetons ( bulbs) **Q: I need use how many tablets for 30 gl?** A: I put all 10 inside a 60 gal. I guess just put 5 for the 30 gal. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for planted tanks *by E***O on May 14, 2026* Used these for my planted tank and they have Ben great. Good color and growth.
