Each tab packs iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and trace micronutrients straight to the root zone where heavy root-feeders pull what they need. Use them as your foundation feed for plants like swords, crypts, and bulb species, then top off the water column with Seachem's liquid Flourish line.

substrate, so the nutrients release at the root zone rather than into the water column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they safe with shrimp and snails?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Flourish Tabs are copper free and safe with neocaridina, amano, ramshorn, and nerite at the labeled dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow deep do I bury them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout 1 to 2 inches, deep enough that the tab doesn't get kicked back to the surface by curious fish or routine cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need a liquid fertilizer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor mostly root-feeders, tabs alone are usually enough. For tanks with lots of stem plants, mosses, or floaters, pair tabs with a water-column fertilizer for best growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often do I redose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery 3 to 6 months under normal conditions. If you notice yellowing or stunted new growth in heavy root-feeders, redose those areas sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48817319936219,"sku":"505","price":9.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/5209\/3403\/files\/0505-Flourish-Tabs-10-pack.png?v=1779972409","url":"https:\/\/squeakysaquatics.com\/products\/seachem-flourish-tabs","provider":"Squeaky's Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
