How to Fertilize Your Planted Tank the EASY Way

Fertilizing your planted tank doesn't have to be complicated. With the right products, you can easily provide your aquatic plants with the nutrients they need to thrive. In this guide, we’ll cover two hassle-free methods to keep your planted tank lush and vibrant: using our 15 root tabs and our all-in-one fertilizer pump.



1. Nourish from the Roots: Our 15 Root Tabs

Root-feeding plants, such as swords, crypts, and stem plants, absorb most of their nutrients directly from the substrate. Our 15 root tabs are an excellent solution for delivering essential nutrients right where your plants need them. Each tab is packed with a balanced blend of macro and micronutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements like iron and magnesium.

Using our root tabs is simple:

  • Placement: Just insert the tabs deep into the substrate near the roots of your plants. For larger tanks, space the tabs about 4-6 inches apart to ensure even distribution of nutrients.
  • Frequency: Replace the root tabs every 2-3 months or when you notice a decline in plant growth. This easy maintenance schedule keeps your plants consistently fed without constant monitoring.

The benefits of our 15 root tabs are clear—they directly feed the plants' roots, promote healthy growth, and are ideal for low-maintenance tanks. Whether you have a beginner setup or a heavily planted aquascape, these tabs are your go-to for a vibrant underwater garden.



2. Comprehensive Care: Our All-in-One Fertilizer Pump

For those looking for an all-encompassing solution, our all-in-one fertilizer pump provides the perfect balance of nutrients for your entire tank. This liquid fertilizer is specially formulated to nourish both root and water column feeders, ensuring that every plant in your tank, from foreground carpets to towering stems, gets what it needs.

Here’s how to use the all-in-one fertilizer pump:

  • Easy Dosing: Simply pump the recommended dose directly into the tank water according to the size of your tank. The pump design makes dosing precise and mess-free—no measuring spoons or guesswork required.
  • Routine: Use the fertilizer once or twice a week, depending on your plant load and growth rate. Regular use keeps nutrient levels stable and supports lush, algae-free growth.

Our all-in-one fertilizer pump takes the guesswork out of fertilizing by providing a complete nutrient profile in one simple step. It’s perfect for aquarists who want a hassle-free way to support their planted tank without the complexity of mixing multiple products.
