Make sure put deep to stop them clouding tank otherwise good so far
Was bit skeptical about these specially with some bad reviews however having planted aquarium I need something for my plants to thrive. At first when I put them in yes they start to dissolve so have to be quick but then noticed my tank started to go bit cloudy. Got up this morning and my tank has cleared up know these don't work fast but hopefully my plants will start getting something as my swords leaves are starting to curl. I did use once before the liquid from a pet shop and sent my nitrites and nitrates through the roof which did kill few my big clown loaches and endlers. These are good if read the instructions I dug mine about an inch so that's prob why I had some clouding,but so far so good in my tank now I have lemon blue eye bristlenose and blue pearl shrimp and as said they still alive.

Worth trying
Don’t cause the plants to flourish too much in my fish tank but I have substrate and it may be the type of plants. Seem decent and still worth trying imo.

Not user friendly
This review is based on the the usability of the product. It was so hard to put the tabs in the medium. The moment I put it in the tank it started to dissolve like those paracetamol water soluble tablets for headaches. It did not give me enough time to put it at my desired location in the soil which creates panic. Also, somehow using the big scaping forcep to put it in the medium tab stuck on the tip and won't let go that resulted in disturbing my carpet grass as it is still fragile. Despite all of it the tabs are still at the soil surface and not completely under the medium which made made my water merky for a while. Measured the ph it seems normal and no adverse effects on the tank so far. Can't comment on the results as it seems too soon it's only been 10 days. I won't buy it again.

Great for Planted Tanks – Noticeable Growth!
Love this for my planted tank! It’s really helped improve plant growth, especially for root feeders. After using it, my plants look healthier and more vibrant. Easy to use and a great addition to any planted setup. Definitely recommend!

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!

Water changed to Orange/Brown
Not sure how it will work on my plants but it did make my aquarium water cloudy and brown. I have changed half tank water the next day after using this tabs. Hopefully cloudiness and discoloration will go away and won’t effect my fishes. Won’t buy it again
