Substrate Nutrition & Additives

Dr. Tank Power Power is a substrate additive that contains nutrients for promoting root development and minerals and organic acids that promote growth of beneficial bacteria. A healthy colony of beneficial bacteria in the substrate prevents the substrate from becoming anaerobic over time. 

Directions

Embed in the tank substrate. Use 1 ball for every  6" X 6 " area.

Dr. Tank Substrate Root Fertilizer Tabs is a all-in-one formula for aquatic plants. It provides both macro and micro nutrients for plants.

Contains:  30 tablets

Tropica Nutrition capsules contain macro nutrients (Nitrogen and Phosphorus) essential for fast-growing and demanding plants as well as iron, manganese and vital micro nutrients. The nutrients are slowly released as the plants need them. Use Nutrition Capsules for stem plants, Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, Vallisneria etc. – all plants with sturdy roots.

How to use Nutrition Capsules?

Nitrogen, phosphor, iron and manganese, as well as all vital micro nutrients are released by the capsules over a period of 1-2 months. Place the capsules close to the roots of large solitary plants and plants with sturdy roots.

The capsules do not fully decompose and the small balls inside the capsules will remain in the substrate after all nutrients have been released. The balls are made of resin, which is biologically harmless.
