osmocote question

You most certainly can.
Just keep it under the substrate so it stays slow release.
You can fill gelatin capsules which are available on line or many health food stores, or freeze the Osmocote into ice cubes.

As for dry ferts, http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/aquarium-fertilizers-supplements/micro-macro-fertilizers.html
$19.99 for what seems to be about years worth for most folks.

Should be just fine.

Thanks I was pretty sure I could, I jsut wanted to double check. since its not the plus type I guess I still have to dose micros seperatly.

I just stick them one-by-one into the substrate with tweezers. Haven't had any real algae issues since I've added them either.

you must be a really patient person!!!!

I am probably going to use the icecube method. unless I can figure out a direct inject method (thinking a little water and a turkey baster) but probably topsoil and osmocote, frozen. it'll help m,e replace diminished topsoil as it break down too.
