hey all

I have read through Jum Kelly's excellant piece titled 'How to Grow
Beautiful Aquarium Plants on a Student Budget' and want to get my hands on
some fertilizer tabs, does anyone know a UK online shop where I can buy
some
or even from a garden centre chain perhaps?
Also, any brand name recommendations would be welcome.

Many thanks in advance

many people use "Jobes" plant tabs usually the one recommended for ferns
however I have used others. They do work well on plants like Amazon Swords.
One tab should be broken into 3 pieces with one small piece buried deep in
the substrate near the roots. A word of caution on all these tabs, keep them
below the substrate. Be careful if you are vacuuming not to dislodge them as
they normally contain a considerable amount of P04 and you will get an algae
bloom.
