So I'm trying to put these osmocote root tabs in the substrate under my s. Repens and it ain't happening. I'm using tweezers. Is there a method anyone has been really successful with?

I just use tweezers and push them all the way down. Make sure and squeeze the tab pretty good or it will not go in that well. What substrate are you putting them in? I have been able to very easily with regular gravel and bdbs. Should be easy.

Grab a syringe that the capsules fit in.
Cut the end off the syringe so you have a tube with the same size holes at either end.
Pull back the plunger, load a capsule. Insert the syringe to the bottom of the substrate, inject the capsule. It won't float up.
