Much better than what I expected
GLA sent me these prior to the launch and I have been using them for 5 months now. I like these so much Im going to stop dosing my liquid solutions completely once the tanks are mature enough. For new plants liquid or dry salts would be in order. You cant use these with epiphytes but they are great for anything growing in the substrate. One thing in particular I noticed with these is how it made my carpet plants more lush and deeper greens. It made me wonder more about what my plants were missing from the substrate. From what I recall all plants take up nutrients through the water column, and I dose my water column EI. I can only guess plants prefer nutrients through the roots and maybe this is why ADA substrate is so good. You will not regret starting to use GLA fertilizer capsules. As I type this they are giving these away for Free if you meet the required dollar amount.

Next level substrate fertilization
I was lucky enough to try these way before they came out with a few others to trial in a couple of aquascapes prior to AGA this year. These tablets are the real deal. These contain no copper nor are they some mystery mud mix. These things kept out plants in stellar condition and they do not create a mess after they are old. I use this along side a modified version of PPS only because the tank is very fast growing so we want quick nutrients after trimming. These will get your plants looking like I could never get them to prior. Ive only had them for 3 months and our dosing is definitely considerably less. We no longer have any measurable amounts of No3 in the tank or Po4. Prior we had about 10ppm of No3 and 2ppm Po4. The plants look super healthy, and to the best I can describe it is the plant leaves look very waxy. As if they are grown emerged form. Thats a terrible description but I cant say it any other way. These fertilizer tablets I believe are the next level in substrate fertilization. This shop keeps my bank account empty on the regular.
