Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium support plant growth.
Mineral nutrients needed in smaller quantities.
Liquid nutrition available to submerged plants.
Place the capsule deep enough to remain covered by the substrate.
Allow about 13–15 cm between capsules in the planted area.
The manufacturer suggests 3–4 months. Observe growth and the substrate’s existing nutrients.
Target the planted areas. Keep capsules buried when maintaining or replanting.
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.
| 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.
The manufacturer describes a blend of macro and micronutrients for the root zone. The detailed ingredient list must be checked on the supplied label.
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.

Nutrients in a tablet.
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.
