    Capsules remain buried near the root zone.

  3. 03

    Useful where the substrate needs additional nutrition.

Your dosage, made simple.

01

Bury near the roots

Place the capsule deep enough to remain covered by the substrate.

02

Space the capsules

Allow about 13–15 cm between capsules in the planted area.

Renew as needed

The manufacturer suggests 3–4 months. Observe growth and the substrate’s existing nutrients.

Nutrient contents and chemical forms

The manufacturer currently publishes the N–P₂O₅–K₂O values below. A complete trace-element breakdown is not published on its product page; we do not infer it from another Thrive formula.

Guaranteed analysis · Thrive Caps
Total nitrogen (N)2.57 %
Available phosphate (P₂O₅)1.69 %
Soluble potash (K₂O)10.1 %

Percentages describe the fertilizer, not a target concentration in your aquarium. Phosphorus and potassium are declared as P₂O₅ and K₂O.

Nutrient sources

The manufacturer describes a blend of macro and micronutrients for the root zone. The detailed ingredient list must be checked on the supplied label.

A routine that supports the formula

Observe new growth, keep lighting consistent and maintain filtration. Consider the nutrients supplied by feeding, substrate and other fertilizers before changing your dose. Follow the label on the bottle you receive.

Two formats, the same role.

Caps are capsules, sold here in a 60-count jar. Tabs are tablets; our pack size will be confirmed on arrival. NilocG specifies the same 13–15 cm spacing and 3–4 month replacement interval. Their guaranteed analyses differ slightly.

Neither is demonstrated to be universally better: choose the format that suits you. There is no need to combine both in the same spot.
