    how long does fert tablet last after insert?

    how often must I insert new fertilizer tablets into the base?

    The reason I'm asking is because I think my cabomba is lacking nutrients.
    It's lower leaves are yellowing. But that is only for some of my cabombas, the rest are still nice and green so I suspect it is because my root tabs are not inserted evenly among them.

    The previous insert was like more than 1-2 months ago.

    my lights are about 3w/g, Co2 is only excel dosing, liquid ferts are seachem products flourish, iron and potassium. I dose the ferts according to the seachem charts. nitrogen is supplied by my goldfish which I think is definitely more than enough.

    please help. thanks.

    Hi Mods, please help me to close or delete this thread.

    I found the answer after searching through many of the threads here accidentally.

    so sorry.

    If anyone wants to know. there is no hard and fast rule of the frequency of the reapplication. If plants seems starved, can just try to insert one more near it again. Do it only if you are certain that the root problem is lack of root fertilizer.
