Re: [APD] sword root tabs

Well, sometimes the hobby advances, and sometimes they try to clear inventory. 
 
Thre's a big diff between poking tablets in substrate and having a dirt underlayment. One of the points of the dirt underlayment, as outlined by Diana, is to provide the nutirents when you set up so you don't have to keep dsoing -- although, Diana said at AGA2K4 that she does add ferts for swords.

<<I haven't used root tabs in years although I hear they are still sold.
Just throw ferts in the water.<<

LOL, Scott, you really crack me up sometimes.

Seachems Flourish Tabs work well to provide minerals, and has a large amount
of calcium which is good if that is missing from your tank.  NPK, nitrogen,
phosphate, and potassium can be provided with a slow release garden
fertilizer like Jobes Plant sticks, or Aquarium Products Plantabbs.. . .
There are many people who use substrate fertilization as part of a low tech
approach. If you have been doing that and feel comfortable with it, I would
not change.
