Seachem's root tabs are very good and long lasting. They won't break down and cloud the water.

Try to get these root tabs over API's if you can.

API = replace every month
Seachem tabs = replace every 3 months

I've used both with good results. This is the biggest difference between them. Usually you can get the Seachem tabs on-line for a reasonable price.

API is easy and cheap (petco/smart) but the Seachem tabs are better quality and most people outside of very large cities have to order them online. For the money I like Dupla tabs the best but it's hard to get outside of Germany so if I can't get a great deal on a cartoon I settle for the Seachem product.

As another option, Tropica sells PLANT NUTRITION+ capsules that are very good as well.
