Epic Aquatics Root Tabs – Essential Nutrition for Planted Aquariums
Bring out the best in your aquatic plants with Epic Aquatics Root Tabs, a powerful and easy-to-use substrate fertilizer designed for freshwater planted aquariums. These slow-release root tabs deliver essential nutrients directly to the root zone, promoting strong growth, healthy roots, and vibrant plant development.
Key Features:
-
Targeted nutrient delivery
Each root tab feeds plants directly at the roots, releasing essential macro- and micronutrients slowly over a period of approximately 2–3 months.
-
Ideal for root-feeding plants
Perfect for plants such as Amazon swords, Cryptocoryne, Vallisneria, bulb plants, and other heavy root feeders.
-
Safe for aquarium inhabitants
When used as directed, Epic Aquatics Root Tabs are safe for fish, shrimp, snails, and other aquatic life.
-
Easy to use
Simply insert the tab deep into the substrate near plant roots using tweezers to ensure nutrients remain where they are needed most.
-
Excellent for inert substrates
Highly recommended for use in gravel or sand substrates that do not naturally contain nutrients.
How it works:
Epic Aquatics Root Tabs slowly dissolve within the substrate, releasing a steady supply of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and trace elements. This encourages deeper root systems, improved plant stability, and long-term plant health without clouding the water.
Directions for use:
Place one root tab approximately every 10 × 10 inch planting area or near the base of larger plants. Replace every 2–3 months for best results.
Suitable for:
Freshwater planted aquariums
Beginner to advanced aquascapers
Low-tech and high-tech planted tanks
