## Description

ThriveCaps | Premium Root Zone Fertilizer Capsules | 60 Tabs New and Improved: ThriveCaps are a very similar product to the previous ThriveTabs, with a few improvements. These capsules dont require any additives to make them stick together which allows them to be smaller and more concentrated while still delivering similar nutrient levels. Another improvement has to do with ThriveTabs causing clouding in some tanks. I changed the formula a bit to reduce this. I had a few people who had clouding issues with ThriveTabs try ThriveCaps. None of them had the same clouding issues!!!! ThriveCaps - Substrate additive for planted aquarium Contain Micro and macro elements as well as other minerals ThriveCaps are nutrient rich capsules which are intended to be placed in the substrate of a planted freshwater aquarium. They will provide a long lasting nutrient source essential for healthy plant growth. ThrivedCaps are a blend of dry Thrive mix, iron rich clay and mineralized top soil. How To Use? Place a capsule at the base of each plant or space out around the tank every 5-6" in a grid pattern. Push down to the bottom of the substrate as far as you can. Replace every 3-4 months or as needed.

Review: I love these capsules. They don't dissolve like the API ones while you're trying to get them in the substrate. If you pinch them and let the air out, they do not float. I've been using these about 3 months now, and have not had any come back up. My plants are all looking very healthy and green, and are growing much faster now. Also super cost effective!
Review: Tres bon produit pour les racines des plantes et pour la santé des plantes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this contain copper?**
A: Yes it does.  It contains 0.0001% copper which is significantly below the level which can harm shrimp and snails.  ThriveCaps is perfectly safe for all fish, shrimp and snails.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks
Colin / NilocG

**Q: Should i use this with the thrive pump bottle?**
A: That's a good question. Some say that if you are dosing the water column that the Caps aren't necessary. Some say to use them with deep rooting plants like Swords and Crypts and Dwarf Sag, etc. I happen to squirt the Thrive+ in my tank twice a week and if and when I first plant a plant that has roots, I usually bury a Root Cap to jump start the roots.

Did you happen to see the photos of the Crypt  on NILOCG.com website ? He does a comparison of his Plant Caps vs. the Seachem Root Tabs and shows the difference in growth. Best to you in your decision.

**Q: Is 2 inches to much for a carpet i see saying every 6 but i want them to grow in nice an thick?**
A: Go with the reccomended dosage. Depending on how deep your substrate is and what kind this and other root tabs can leach out into your water column and if your dosing ferts in your water column you have potential for algae breakouts. Try with six inches first Waite a month and see. You can always add. Hope that helps. Remember with plants need to be patient.

**Q: I have been using these for a month, maybe six weeks, and my water is so cloudy. These are the only change to my tank, will this clear up with time?**
A: They should not cloud your water assuming you push them down to the bottom of the substrate and you dont disturb them too much.  It definitely should not cloud the water for size weeks.  What color is the water?  Sounds like maybe you have a bacterial bloom?
