I dont have a soil substrate, just sand so i was told i need root tabs, are there any 'recipes' i can use to make my own? I have empty capsules i can use.
Never heard of it, i am new to all this planted stuffWhat about using osmocote?
I agree with Hufsa, in that no one necessarily "needs" root tabs as long as the water column is being dosed. Of course, it's always better to have nutrition in both the water as well as in the sediment, but as mentioned, root tabs often contains ammonia as their source of nitrogen and if the sediment is disturbed, or if the tab is not properly submerged in the sediment they can leach ammonia into the water.I dont have a soil substrate, just sand so i was told i need root tabs, are there any 'recipes' i can use to make my own?
