    I used root monster. I have the habit of replanting my plants quite often. It caused excess nutrients to get into my water and caused a bit of BBA.

    Generally, it did give the plants good growth. My advice is that after you plugged that thing into your gravel, don't disturb it too much.

    The root monsters are slow-release fertilisers, right? I used them before and they look clean. Even after many months, you can still dig them up in one piece with the plant roots all attaching to it.

    As with all fertilisers, I will use the sparingly or follow the instructions on the box.

    Hi buzz

    Gd stuff these root monsters, but it's more catered to the larger stemmed/root plants (i.e. not for hairgrass, etc.) & yes, they stay intact...sometimes the roots will grow into them, so when u pull out a plant to re-position or trim, the monsters might come out wif the plant.

    nizz, actually.. it can be used with foregrd plants like HG, glosso, tenellus.. these root monster do come in smaller forms, where it can be used.. i think one of the forumers using it to substitute base fert

    Correct. The packaging for this loose form says it can be used by mixing with the gravel.
    For me - I did try sprinkling a handful between my cocopeat soil and the gravel.
