How to Use
Ensure your aquarium substrate is at least 5–7 cm (2–3 inches) deep before inserting capsules. Root fertilizers work best with root-feeding plants such as Amazon Sword, Cryptocoryne, and Lotus.
Push each capsule about 2–3 cm (1 inch) into the substrate, placing it directly under or near plant roots. Avoid leaving capsules exposed on the substrate surface.
Dosage Guide
Up to 10 gal — 1 capsule (low light, no CO₂) / 2 capsules (medium–high light or CO₂)
10–20 gal — 2 capsules (low light, no CO₂) / 3–4 capsules (medium–high light or CO₂)
20–40 gal — 3–4 capsules (low light, no CO₂) / 5–6 capsules (medium–high light or CO₂)
40–75 gal — 5–6 capsules (low light, no CO₂) / 8–10 capsules (medium–high light or CO₂)
75+ gal — 8–10 capsules (low light, no CO₂) / 12–15 capsules (medium–high light or CO₂, spread evenly)
💡 Tip: Heavily stocked aquariums may require fewer capsules since fish waste also contributes nutrients.
⚠️ Safety Tip: Insert capsules fully under the substrate and avoid breaking them in the water column to prevent sudden nutrient release.
⚠️ Overdose Notice: Using significantly more capsules than recommended may lead to excess nutrients in the aquarium, which can contribute to algae growth. If unsure, start with a lower dosage and increase gradually based on plant growth.
💡 Tip: Heavily stocked aquariums may require fewer capsules because fish waste also provides nutrients.
Capsules release nutrients slowly for 2–3 months. Replenish every 8–12 weeks, or when plants begin to show signs of nutrient deficiency such as slow growth or yellowing leaves.
