FAQs

How often should I use Colombo Nutri Caps?

The frequency depends on the plant type and tank conditions; typically, every 2-3 months or as indicated by plant growth.

Are these capsules suitable for all aquarium plants?

These are primarily designed for root-feeding plants. Check plant requirements for compatibility.

What happens if I overdose?

Overdosing can lead to algae blooms and nutrient imbalances. Follow dosage instructions carefully.

Can I use these with other fertilizers?

Yes, but monitor your plants for signs of excess nutrients. Adjust the dosage accordingly.

How do I know if my plants need these capsules?

Look for signs of nutrient deficiency such as pale or yellowing leaves. Also consider if the plants feed from the roots.

Where should I place the capsules?

Insert the capsules directly into the substrate near the roots of the plants.

How long do the capsules last?

The slow-release formula provides nutrients for several weeks, depending on the aquarium conditions.

Troubleshooting

Algae Bloom

Reduce the dosage, increase water changes, and ensure adequate lighting.

Slow Plant Growth

Check the plant's light, CO2, and nutrient levels; increase the dosage if necessary and the plant has root-feeding characteristics.

Cloudy Water

Perform a partial water change and check for any decaying organic matter in the substrate.

Capsules Dissolving Too Quickly

Ensure capsules are fully submerged in the substrate; check the substrate's composition.
