  • Stimulates growth in root-feeding plants 
  • Full of essential plant nutrients and minerals
  • Safe for shrimp, snail, and fish

If you have rooted plants in your aquarium, Easy Root Tabs are a great option to give your plants even more nutrients than substrate and fish waste alone. They're packed with mineralized top soil containing red clay and many other essential minerals plants need to thrive. Unlike many other aquarium root tabs out there, Easy Root Tabs do not contain ammonia-based ingredients and will not cause harmful effects if the contents of the capsule are released into the water column.

Monthly Plant Supplement

Our Easy Root Tabs make it easier to deliver fertilizer right to the roots of your plants. Our blend of mineralized top soil and nutrients provides all the essential building blocks that plants need to grow and thrive. Replenish monthly or as needed to keep your plants looking their best.

Hungry Root Feeders

Many plants like Cryptocoryne and sword plants prefer feeding from their roots and need nutrient-rich substrate. If these plants start yellowing and melting back, feed them lots of root tabs to ensure they grow big and healthy leaves.

Stronger Roots

When you use root tabs, this encourages the plant to grow stronger and more plentiful root structures. This helps prevent the plant from getting accidentally uprooted by Corydoras and other fish that dig for food.

Root Tab Placement

When first planting, place root tabs directly under the plant. Each month you can expand outwards with the root tabs as the roots will continue to stretch out through the substrate. Large plants often need several root tabs — 1 in the center and a few in a circle around the plant.

Usable in all Substrates

All substrates can use root tabs. The goal is to have a rich-nutrient substrate that consists of a mix of fish poo and nutrients. Root tabs bring the essential nutrients that can be missing from your fish food. Enriched aqua soils start out as a rich nutrient substrate, but over time the nutrients are consumed and need to be replaced or re-mineralized with root tabs.

Fish, Shrimp, and Snail Safe

Easy Root Tabs are safe for fish, shrimp, and snails. They are best planted at least an inch below the surface of the substrate.

I have been using the root tabs for quite some time. It takes a couple of months before i started to notice the effects but my amazon sword (also from Aquarium Co-Op) has really taken off.

Works great!

My Amazon swords haven't done better since I added these easy root tabs into my tank. They are taller and wider and much more healthy because of it.

It really works like magic!

I’ve started to have live plants in all 3 of my tanks. All of them have significant improvement in the growth of the plants, so far I have anubias nana and Java fern in my tanks, and they have grown immensely.
These pictures included are of the Java fern in my 10 gallon and 5.5 gallon tank.

Easy to use and give my plants a needed boost every month. I use this both in tanks with older aquasoil and tanks with rock substrate.

I had a complicated process that was working just ok, but took time and effort. The Easy Root Tabs are all around better.

Quick Review Root Tabs

So far so good. The only reason they didn't get a 5 stars: as a first time root tab user, I was unaware that they have some air in them and must have small holes poked into them and prefilled with water. This info is not on the packaging. I found out the next day when some of them started floaing up through the substrate. Thankfully the Aquarium Co Op forum came through with the needed information, I just wish it was on the bottle to prevent first time users from having any issues. Thanks for everything y'all do!
