Still a good idea to bury the osmocote ferts under the substrate where its meant to be put, that will ensure they supply nutrients to the plant roots instead.
Leaving them sitting above the substrate allows it to release excessive nutrients into the water column, which based on your photos, probably contribute to all the algae growing in your tank.
If the osmocote fertilizer (or most other root fertilizer tablets/sticks) are buried deep into the substrate, its effects on water parameters should be very minimal.
I have used it before in my tanks and the parameters didn't change significantly. Just have to be careful if you have to uproot and shift plants around during maintenance or re-scapes, if the fertilizers happened to be also pulled up at the same time, it can cause ammonia spikes and parameter imbalances.
One way to remove the osmocote thingy is to gather them in a spot and scoop them out , rather than going at them individually will make you tired fast .
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
I used osmocote tab regularly dont worry about the loose pallet around the tank if it is not too much it will not effect the water parameters.
