These nutrients are consumed over time in the aquarium and must be replenished for plants to thrive. Add tablets monthly to ensure best results. Safe for use with tropical fish.

Just try to place them directly under plants. **Q: Are these safe to use in a shrimp tank** A: yes safe in any aquarium **Q: Can you use these alongside api leaf zone or is it one or the other?** A: Excellent **Q: How long do they last before having to add a new one?** A: That will depend on how heavily your tank is planted and how big your plants are. I have three large amazon swords and put one of theses in to the root system of the plant at least once every 6 months. I have a sand substrate but the plants do have a soil ball around their base .
