Celeste84 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 ok, has anyone used these before?? or just the liquid fert?? what i really want to know is are they any good?? and has anyone used the ones i've listed below? any comments about them? i was thinking of using tablets as they take the nutrients to right where they're needed, and these were the ones i was tossing between: Sera Florenette A 50 Tablets (1/20L once a week) $15.70 Sera Floreplus 150 Tabs (1/20L once a fortnight) $32.15 Aquasonic Hydrogrow 250 Tablets (1/40L once a week) $28.55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elflett Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I've used API's root tabs, they worked really well, but were kind of expensive for the amount of plants I have... $25 for a dozen tabs, 6 in my 140L at a time... I now use Manutec 'foliage' plant tabs (palm and fern, when I can get them) from Big W and a few hardware stores, trimmed to 1cm lengths, pushed under each plant - pretty much perfect in NPK, and trace elements, and they dissolve really slowly - 24 5cm spikes cost $3.43 odd...

Celeste84 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 wow! thanks for that info! i wasn't sure if normal plant tabs would kill the plants or poison the fish or not :-/ i guess it's like all things and you just have to know what to get :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I use the florenette on things like anubias and java fern with pretty good results. I wouldn't call it explosive growth, but it was healthier. I tend to underdose ferts and at the time I was working with 0.8wpg. Ain't nothing gunna explode in that lighting! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 ROFL! thanks cal i don't need to worry about the light though, so i may give them a try, maybe put the tabs stuart suggested in one half, the florette in the other and see how they compare :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
