How long do the capsules last?
The nutrients are released gradually over several weeks, depending on the substrate and water conditions.
What type of plants benefit most from these capsules?
These capsules are most beneficial for root-feeding plants like Amazon swords, Cryptocorynes, and other plants that absorb nutrients through their roots.
Troubleshooting
Plants are not growing well.
Ensure that the capsules are placed near the roots and that the aquarium has sufficient lighting. Check your water parameters, and consider supplementing with liquid fertilizer if needed.
Algae growth is excessive.
Reduce lighting duration and intensity. Monitor the nutrient levels, and perform regular water changes to remove excess nutrients.
Capsules are not dissolving.
Ensure capsules are fully inserted into the substrate. If the substrate is too compact, consider loosening the substrate around the capsule to aid dissolution.
Cloudy water after use.
This is usually temporary. Ensure proper dosage and make sure the capsules are buried in the substrate. Perform a water change if cloudiness persists.
