  • 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 exposed to 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.

4

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.

These root tabs are a much better design than the old ones. I love how they stay under the substrate and are easy to push into sand or gravel. I also like how there is 60 that will last a long time.

Just bought these to try. Hasn't been long enough to see any real results yet. I added some dwarf sagittaria tissue cultures to my 10g betta tank (who unfortunately has diamond eye and a tumor. So mad at how the genetics of designer hybrids are destroyed. 4 for 4 that ended up with tumors and very short life spans. This never used to happen.)

Easy root tabs

The new tablet formula is fantastic and a much needed change. The gel caps would not stay in the substrate and would keep popping out .these new tabs once inserted stay in the substrate and you never see them again .love them!

Root Tabs

An essential part of all my planted tanks. My crypts and water wisteria thrive with these root tabs! I use it in conjunction with the liquid fertilizer for best results. Also got a cute little Cory cat sticker with my order that I put on my work locker :) will be ordering again!

I used these root tabs in 2 different tanks. In both cases they clouded the water. In one tank the water looked more like milk. It didn't harm the plants or the fish, but it took over 4 days and multiple water changes before the water cleared.

Aquarium Coop Root tabs = happy plants

Been using this product for at least a year and have been getting massive growth from my Amazon sword plants. Well worth your money!

L
Laycie (Memphis, TN, US)

I planted them all the way at the bottom of the gravel and they floated to the top like evil potatoes and exploded overnight. It's a fine gravel but the website says it works in sand and gravel I assume it would be okay. I'll skip this on the next order.

Bryan R. (Quincy, MA, US)

I developed cloudy water after using... but learned from today's Aquarium Coop live stream, that it is likely due to my substrate not being deep enough. The root tabs really need to go about an inch down below the substrate. My substrate is only about a half inch thick. I also learned to prevent the tab from floating up to the surface, you can poke a small hole in the capsule and it wont try and float up. Can't wait to see how my plants(2 sword plants and a crypt) react to the fertilizer. Keep up the great work Candi and team Coop

Outstanding Root Tabs!

I have been using these root tabs now for over a year and I think they are wonderful!

I have ordered numerous 60 Count bottles and I haven't had any issues with the pills arriving broken, which is a statement to how well AC packs there items in the box.

It is amazing how I can use these tabs whenever I want my plants to start growing or if I see a plant needing extra nutrients I can place these tabs and within a day I can see the plants thriving again.

Overall, I have compared these root tabs to other available products from Amazon and I had terrible experiences with the tabs arriving broken and the plants just not reposting to the tabs at all. Then I oared more AC Root Tabs and watched my plants immediately respond to these tabs. This has made me a permanent fan of these root tabs! !00% recommended!

Easy Root Tabs

I have used this product for over three years and my plants love it. I use the tabs for my rooted plants (Amazon Swords, Banana Plants and rooted Water Sprite). It is so effective I have the sword plants putting out runners for new plants. I also use Easy Green for once a week for my floating Water sprite.

Made my lilies crazy!

I have used the root tabs for 2 months in a pot of red tiger lotus and red tiger lilies in my 5 gal aquarium. They have just grown like crazy! I use one once a month as well as Easy Green drops weekly. All the plants have done well between the two.

Dramatic Results

I’ve been using root tabs for a while in several of my tanks, but I’ll admit that it’s been mostly due to trusting Cory’s recommendations in the many YouTube videos of his that I’ve watched. That is until I tried them on my lily/lotus (not sure what it is), where I saw results for myself for the first time, clear as day. (The results I’d gotten prior were hard to discern due to multiple other factors that could have been responsible.)

This plant had been struggling for a year or two, growing, but never getting any bigger than what you see in the red circle. Then I decided to put four root tabs under it to see what would happen, and the growth you see in the purple is about two month’s worth of growth, four tabs per month, eight tabs total at the time of the picture.

It’s the clearest example of improvement I’ve ever seen outside of co2 injection (this tank doesn’t have co2, by the way.)

I was quite pleased to see such a dramatic example of before/after on a plant that I knew hadn’t done much on its own for a long period of time.

I hope they offer a 100 or 200 capsule container soon with a reasonable bulk discount, as I now buy 200 capsules at a time for all my tanks.

These have always kept my Amazon swords big and dark green. I tried another brand and turned out to be a waste of money.
