My aquasoil is about 2 years old and i think it about time I start using root tabs. I have tons of dry fertilizer and Gel Capsules size 0 and was wondering if I can use them as root tabs? I really don't want orange color osmocote balls in my AS and have to pick them out with tweezer whenever they surface.

Would using these ferts in gel capsules leech too much into the water or will they be ok if i bury them 2 inch deep?

I have the following ferts and I'm trying to grow DHG Belem

Potassium Nitrate
Potassium Phosphate
Potassium Sulphate



Chelated Iron
CSM+B

the only thing I'd use to enahcne ADA AS is perhaps a NH4 rich osmocoat like product in a gel cap, since NH4 is about the only thing that declines over time.

The other nutrients should be plentiful still, maybe 5-10 year's worth.
