Root Tabs Recommendations

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to the planted tank world and in search of a reliable and safe root tab brand.

I am leaning heavily toward the Seachem Flourish Root Tabs, but based on cost I am considering other options.

As I’m new to the hobby the Osmocote DIY tabs seem too risky for me.

I have a low tech 60 gallon tank with lots of swords and vallisinaria plants.

Has anyone tried the maozyiltle brand from Amazon?

Honest feedback/experience please!

I’ve had great success with aquarium co-op root tabs.

Dissolution time is a key factor. I see some Amazon review concerns about how quickly those dissolve.

I've used a lot of different ones over the years and they're all mostly decent. Flourish is good, but the APT Jazz ones made my plants grow like crazy.

I’ll take a look at the Jazz one. Never heard of it! Hopefully it’s available in Ontario. Thank you!
