'Rocket Fuel'....??

[Mugwump]

I saw this on your web page, and was wondering ...is this different in texture, and ingredients, than the substrate??..Can I slide this under existing plants in gravel??

The Rocket Fuel is a liquid fertilizer absorbed by the substrate. It's amazing stuff. You can mix Plant-Tastic with any existing substrate.

Liquid....is it a powder that you mix with water,etc and then dose??or a premix solution?...if so, I could use a baster to dose plant roots, substrate?...cool...

It's a liquid fertilizer I use to saturate the porous substrate. The key is the fact that the substrate it so porous. The nitrates are also absorbed by the substrate. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Although I do not now have plated tanks, I am curious about the use of fertilizers in aquariums with fish. Adding nitrates seems bad for the fish, but since people do it with seeming success, it must not be a problem. What's going on here.
Do all the chemicals get bound up in the substrate?
Does some leach out?
If its bound up how do the plants get it?
Does the particular substrate affect its binding and use? (previous comment implies it does).

Well, Bob....we put a few tabs under some plants and it seems to have perked them up pretty good...next up, will use the substate in a pot/planter type vessel.....stay tuned...

Use caution. We don't want any Jack and the Beanstalk stuff going on. LOL

Well, this water sprite has been in the pot for about 4-5 days now...it didn't skip a beat, no temp die off or ill effects....nada....that substate and ferlizer is awesome, I'm impressed....no CO2, no special lights either....

That's impressive.  I'm going to have to try that in my grow out tank.

Nice!!!

I will have plenty of my Plant-Tastic, with and without Rocket fuel. And I'll have a good supply of plant tabs at the Feb. GCCA swap.

You'll likely need it all, Bob....words getting out about these great products..
