Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

Flourish Tabs are growth stimulating tablets for plant roots. They contain essential trace elements, amino acids, and vitamins. They are rich in iron, manganese, magnesium, calcium, potassium, inositol, choline B12, biotin, and other factors that have been determined to be beneficial to aquatic plant roots. They contain no phosphate or nitrate that would promote algae proliferation. Each pack of ten tablets treats a 12 X 30 inch plant bed twice. Perfect for the beginner, Flourish Tabs contain all the nutrients found in Flourish in a dry, tabular form. These tabs are inserted into the gravel, providing direct, time-released fertilization to the plants' root zone. Nutrients are slowly made available through enzymatic action of the plants' roots on the tabs.

  • - Provides micro elemtns, trace elements, and other nutrients
  • - Targets root zone
  • - Gravel bed supplement for the planted aquarium

Insert one Flourish Tab in the gravel for every 10-15 cm (4-6 in.) radius. A standard 10 gallon aquarium requires 6 tabs. Distribute the tablets evenly throughout the gravel bed. Push each tablet midway into the gravel bed. Add new tablets once every three to four months for optimal plant growth. Tabs will not alter pH, but, in very soft or unbuffered water, they have slightly acidic properties similar to peat moss.

Super food for your aquarium plants

Been buying this product for 2 years now ever since a Petco employee told me about it. I do notice growth in my aquarium plants when I add a tab into the substrate. If you want more growth add two around your plant. Only reason for the 4 stars is because it is a tad expensive. I try to buy it when it goes on sale when possible.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Slow release

I'm subtracting two stars because the tablets don't seem to release nutrients to roots as quickly as the API root tabs. I'm using them in a mix of CaribSea FloraMax and fine gravel. My plants--all stem plants and root feeders--are struggling (cabomba, bacopa, corkscrew val, and one old amazon sword). The FloraMax is nearly 9 years old and not nearly as effective as when it was new, in terms of holding nutrients for plant roots. I'd really like to tear down this tank and start from scratch.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Its a great shape and they sink. They are better than most brands and even safer than DIY root tabs.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Questions

Is using root tabs and liquid fertilizer at the same time too much for the system?

  1. I think it depends on your substrate and the needs of your plants.  i have sand, which has nothing plants needs to grow, so both is not too much.  i don't believe it would harm anything even if it isn't strictly needed.  you can always hold back the liquid fertilizer if you get an algae bloom. that said i also don't think both are necessary to use together unless you have plants that have very high fertilization needs and or poor substrate mixed with RO filtered water like me.



can you put this in a tank while it's brand new and cycling before adding plants or should i wait?

  1. Wait until you add plants



Can this be used with a gravel vacuum? Also, how often do you put in new ones?

    Is this safe for snails and Corys?

    1. I’m not sure about snails but I have corys in my 75 gallon tank and they are as active or more so after the tabs were introduced about three months ago.



    what color and texture is this tab? does it completely dissolve?  I have white sand and I am concerned it will look like a patch of black dirt in my white sand.

    1. It’s a dark, hard pellet that you place under the sand/gravel near your plants. 



    Would this work in a 3 gallon Berta tank

    1. I don't see why it wouldn't. The Flourish tabs are intended to feed root-feeding plants. A smaller plant would only need one every 4-6 weeks I believe, possibly longer depending on the size of the plant(s). I have also read to place the tabs every 6 inches or so for carpeting plants. So depending on the outline of the tank and the number of plants, a 10 pack should last you at least a year.



    Eco-complete plus root tabs?

    1. Well this is a 4 year old question - but for anybody else curious: Eco complete is highly porous and conveys water circulation to the roots just under the surface quite nicely. Tabs could be used in deep beds of eco complete for needy plants OR in deep beds of eco complete that have been exhausted. For a shallow bed of eco complete (2" or less) you will probably find these dissolve into your water column right through the eco complete. Since you can't control how fast they dissolve in a shallow bed, I strongly suggest sticking with the liquid counterpart of this product. If you have a LOT of plants or very NEEDY plants, you would need to supplement even with brand-new eco complete. Note, some plants have the ability most of their nutrients from their leaves, while some plants cannot adapt this way and must be fed directly at the roots - then there's also plants that don't have roots; keep that in mind when considering your tanks nutrient needs.



    Under Gravel Filter?

    1. Yes it will - the undergravel will suck the nutrient through the gravel and pump into the water column. This would be ideal getting pushed down into a very fine gravel. Fine gravel is pretty useless in an undergravel filter. For undergravel filter, use liquid fert so you can control doseage 2-3x a week.



    Fertilization for aquatic plants

    1. yes you should be fine. the best way to figured out if you will be okay with just roottabs or if you need additional ferts is to look at the roots, lots of thick roots=heavy root feeders.



    Is this product safe for red cherry shrimp?

    1. will be just fine. make sure you insert all they way down though.
