Aquario Neo Plants Tabs are slow-release root tab fertilizers designed to deliver targeted nutrients directly to aquatic plant roots. Available in five different nutrient blends, the Neo Plants Tab system allows aquascapers to customize nutrient dosing based on plant needs, substrate condition, and overall tank setup.
These tabs can be used in both nutrient-rich and inert setups, including aqua soil, sand, and gravel. They’re especially useful in mature planted tanks where substrate is depleted, helping restore nutrients without the need to uproot plants or replace it altogether. Easy to use, Aquario Neo Plants Tabs are ideal for addressing specific plant deficiencies or for aquascapers who prefer precision control over fertilization.
When to use Aquario Neo Plants Tabs
- When substrate is depleted in established tanks and signs of deficiencies are beginning to appear
- When using inert substrates like sand or gravel
- To support heavy root-feeding plants such as Cryptocoryne or Echinodorus
- To supplement or target specific nutrient deficiencies (K, Fe, etc.)
Usage Instructions and Recommendations
Insert tabs deeply into the substrate using aquascaping tweezers, spacing approximately every 7 x 7” area.
- Use TAB 1 as a general baseline fertilizer. Supplement with K or FE as needed
- For older substrates (1+ year), consider ST. LONG.
- Start with small amounts and observe response for 1 week
- Do not use if aquarium already has existing algae
- Best added during initial setup or water changes
Each tab lasts approximately 2 months, depending on plant growth and aquarium setup.

How the Neo Tab System Works
| Tab Type | Composition | Effect & Usage |
|---|---|---|
| TAB 1 | Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (general macronutrients) | Promotion of rapid growth. Best for: when there is a shortage of macronutrients or when rapid aquarium plant growth is required. |
| K | Potassium | Promotion of photosynthesis. Best for: pinholes in aquarium plant leaves are observed. |
| FE | Iron | Color enhancement Best for: poor color in new growth. |
| ST.LONG | Organic Fertilizer | Long-lasting, slow-release fertilizer Best for: restoring old or inert aquarium substrate. Great for use with heavy root-feeding aquarium plants such as Echinodorus and Cryptocoryne species. |
| SOLID NO CO2 |
Organic Fertilizer | Supporting healthy aquatic plant growth in aquariums that do not have CO2 injection. Do not use with other root tabs. Aquario Neo Solid works best with substrates that do not already contain high nutrient levels. |

Great fertilizers!!
"I’ve used maybe 3 different root tabs, and I like this one, by far, the best. They don’t float, don’t dissolve immediately on contact with the water and the fact that they come with a different emphasis of macronutrient or iron is great. It was very easy to plant in my sand-capped 10 gallon tank! I would recommend this to anyone who owns a planted tank."
Great Product
"Great Product, showed improvement and results right away with growth and coloration. Only surprise and desire would have been the amount vs price... Only if the bottles werent so small and the amount so limited..15+ a bottle for the amout makes it very excessive specially when the directions call for 6+ pieces depending on your setup. I did not follow the recommended dosage and just used what i felt best 2 or so pieces since it becomes so expensive to purchase for a larger aquarium setup"
All new plants have roots
"I placed the tabs throughout the substrate in my new tank and 2 weeks in, Ive seen roots on every plant I’ve put in. A few stem plants have died but I don’t think it’s due to these tabs"
Game Changer
"This is my first time using root tags in a low tech set up, so far the results have been great! I’ve been doing more frequent water changes and the plants have been thriving with the extra nutrients."
Q&A
- How many tabs are included in each bottle?
- Hello and thanks for your interest, they are all 70g bottles and you can expect up to 150 pieces inside. Hope this helps!
