LCA Root Tabs (Slow Release) Capsules

Introduction

LCA Root Tabs (Slow Release) are nutrient-rich capsules designed to provide essential nutrients directly to the roots of aquarium plants. These slow-release tablets are formulated to promote healthy root development and strong plant growth, particularly for heavy-rooted plants that require consistent nourishment over time. Ideal for aquariums with low-tech setups, these root tabs release nutrients gradually, ensuring that your plants have a steady supply without the need for frequent dosing.

Features

• Slow-Release Formula: Nutrients are gradually released over a period of weeks, providing a steady supply of essential minerals to plant roots.
• Complete Nutrient Blend: Includes key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements that support robust root growth and overall plant health.
• Ideal for Root-Feeding Plants: Perfect for plants with heavy root systems such as Amazon swords, crypts, and other species that benefit from direct nutrient delivery to their roots.
• No Need for Constant Dosing: Once placed in the substrate, the capsules will continue to nourish plants for several weeks, reducing the need for frequent fertilization.
• Safe for Aquatic Life: Safe for all fish, invertebrates, and plants when used as directed, making it suitable for a variety of freshwater setups.

Usage

• How to Apply:
  • Place 1-2 tablets per 10 gallons (37.5 liters) of aquarium water, depending on plant density and substrate type.
  • For optimal results, place the root tabs directly beneath the roots of the plants in the substrate, ideally near the root zone.
• How Often to Apply:
  • Apply new tablets every 4-6 weeks, depending on the growth of your plants and the condition of the substrate. Avoid over-fertilizing by following the recommended dosage.
• When to Use:
  • Ideal to use when planting new aquatic plants or to supplement plants that are showing signs of nutrient deficiency.

Available Sizes

• 20 Capsules per pack.
• 50 Capsules per pack.

Recommendations

• Perfect for Heavy-Rooted Plants: Best suited for plants that rely on substrate-based nutrients like Amazon swords, crypts, and other root-feeding species.
• Use in Combination with Liquid Fertilizers: While the root tabs provide nutrients for the roots, combining them with a liquid fertilizer for water column feeding ensures that plants receive a full range of nutrients.
• Monitor Plant Health: Regularly check your plants for signs of nutrient deficiency or excess. Adjust the frequency or number of root tabs based on plant needs.
• Ideal for Low-Tech Tanks: Great for aquariums where adding CO2 or complex fertilization systems is not an option, as the slow-release tabs offer long-lasting, low-maintenance nutrient delivery.
