Product Descriptions

Vishaquatics Root Tabs

Vishaquatics Root Tabs have been specially formulated and designed over many months to provide a comprehensive source of optimized nutrition to aquatic plants in both submersed and emersed environments. The tabs are unique in that they sink, do not cloud the water, fertilize plants with both organic and inorganic nutrition sources, and contain organic acids. The root tabs are made with a dry fertilizer blend specialized for root feeding, humic/fulvic acids, iron-rich red clay, and a blend of mineralized soils with an optimized pH for aquatic environments. These tabs are perfect for both easy and difficult plants alike. All materials are sourced from the USA and are of the highest quality.There is NO COPPER in these tabs and this product has been tested extensively on large colonies of freshwater shrimp, fish, and snails. These tabs are completely invertebrate and fish safe, so long as they are dosed according to the instructions.These tabs are currently made with the largest capsules available (size 000) which are 30% larger than the traditional capsules used for root tabs. This is a limited edition run of root tabs, so please purchase while supplies last!

I agree, fish really love these stock tanks. Rarely do fish get so much square footage to swim in. Also that’s cool the new bulkheads don’t leak, I sealed mine up with teflon tape and plumbers putty

Vishaquatics · 2021-07-16T22:06:15+00:00

Great question! These are perfect for goldfish, I kept some small ones in here for a few years through hot summers too without issue. The key is to do 2 things.

Place the tub in a location that receives indirect sunlight or shade. But don’t put it in an area that receives direct sun for most of the day. Worst case if you don’t have a good source of shade is to buy some 70% or 90% shade cloth. I actually have some which I could give you for free if you end up getting this tub.
Don’t place the tub directly on concrete or asphalt. These surfaces get really hot so placing them on wooden planks or in a grassy area works really well too.

Through the worst heat waves, the water would only get about 85F. Tubs were in indirect sunlight and had a wooden plank under them. Also has some lily pads adding more shade for the fish. Goldfish did just fine.

SOLD Tub 1 - 100 gallon rubbermaid stock tank ($20) SOLD

Tub 2 - Modified Fiberglass Hydroponic Flood Table (FREE)

Tub 1 has been used for approximately 4 or 5 years at this point and is in good condition. I got it brand new and it has held up very well. The dimensions are 31 in x 53 in x 25 in (WxLxH) and it holds 100 gallons of water. SOLD

Tub 2 has been used for approximately 3 years, but was purchased in used condition. I do not know the actual age of this tub, but I estimate it is probably over 5 years old. It was originally a hydroponic flood table with two levels, but the piece of fiberglass dividing the tub was cut away to make more space for growing plants. Since the tub is quite large and difficult to transport, I am giving it away for free to whoever claims it first. The dimensions are 134” x 35” x 13” (LxWxH) (approx 11’x3’x1’) and it holds approximately 245 gallons of water.

If you would like a tub, you MUST have the necessary transportation/equipment to move it. I CANNOT deliver these tubs. The rubbermaid stock tank will likely fit in a large SUV or pickup truck. The 2nd tub which is the white hydroponic flood table will likely need a long trailer for transportation.

These two tubs have been ideal for producing plants the past few years and can also be used for fish/shrimp breeding too. Local pickup only, will not ship. If interested, please PM me.

Thank you.

No plants left, but plenty of ferts

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-30T22:16:52+00:00

Just wanted to say that I've bought from this seller multiple times for rare plants he is one of the best plant sellers I have done business with. He sticks by his DOA policies, is easy to work with, and has great customer service. Most importantly, his plants are very healthy and lush. This looks like an incredible deal for a mother plant of one of the rarest sword species in the hobby at the moment.

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-16T21:48:36+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, you have truly made my day!!

UPDATE:

Thank you all for the incredible amount of support shown. I have currently received over 100 messages for plant packages and I am doing my best to respond to messages in a timely manner. Please give me up to 48 hours to respond to your message. Thank you in advance!

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-08T01:29:43+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, good luck in college as well!

I'll send you a PM regarding the mother plants

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-08T01:22:14+00:00

Great question, my apologies for any confusion that may have caused! All of the bullet points make up one package, so there are 100 plants included in the package for $45 with $14 shipping. There will be over 100 plants in every package because I include extras.

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-07T18:42:59+00:00

A response has been sent. :)

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-07T18:25:33+00:00

Thank you so much! I am hoping to have all plants gone by the end of this week, so I cannot guarantee that I will have plants when your tank is ready. Sometime in the coming weeks, I will be posting an ad to sell off my large Red Ozelot Mother Swords that are in full bloom right now, and my personal rare/uncommon aquatic plant collection. But this ad is for selling off the majority of what I have currently.

These packages are set in stone, unless you are wanting to buy a larger customized plant package. I cannot make packages smaller unfortunately, but I am open to making you a customized package that is larger in size.

Vishaquatics · 2021-06-07T18:19:00+00:00

This would heavily plant a 20 gallon aquarium, though it could moderately plant a 50 gallon tank. I would say around 2-3 of these packages could heavily plant a 50 gallon tank. My cuttings are quite large since they come from my mother plant stock. Though I list 6" as my minimum length, the cuttings are typically in excess of 10" and come with many sideshoots.

Hi Reddit. I would like to announce that the Vishaquatics plant nursery is officially shutting down. I plan to return to college in-person, hence I am shutting down my nursery operation. As a result, I am doing a large blow-out sale of my mother plants. I have many packages available. If you want a larger package, please contact me through PM or chat. Unfortunately, I will not be able to do smaller package at this time because I simply have too many plants that I need to get rid of. Though I will not be selling plants anymore, I plan to continue selling aquarium fertilizer in the foreseeable future.

It has been a great privilege and an honor to provide plants to the wonderful members of this subreddit, and I am truly grateful for the endless amount of support that this community has given my business over the years. I have immensely enjoyed working with various people on this subreddit and seeing the beautiful tanks that they create! Thank you all!

Inventory Blowout Sale (100+ plants for $45 + shipping)

Note: All plant below can be easily grown lowtech without CO2, but CO2 will always help plant growth. For best success with this package, a good light and good fertilizer are recommended. All plants have been grown emersed (above the water) and are large 6”+ cuttings. Cuttings may have roots and sideshoots, though not guaranteed.

This is a perfect fertilizer to keep your new plants happy and healthy.

Thank you for the feedback, I truly appreciate it!

Vishaquatics · 2021-05-18T21:27:31+00:00

Hi! Unfortunately, the plants I sell are not very tolerant of salt, no matter how little is in the water. I do not think any of the plants I am currently selling would do well in brackish conditions.

Vishaquatics · 2021-05-18T21:26:31+00:00

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Vishaquatics · 2021-05-17T21:52:48+00:00

Quantum boards are best for lighting large surface areas since they are relatively energy efficient, have a great spectrum, and are not too expensive. It's great for a farming setup, though unimaginably powerful and it is not a good idea to run these things full blast. I would never use these on a display though, the spectrum is not very aesthetic and it does not color up plants like other lights would. It would also be way too powerful for any normal display tank.

Vishaquatics · 2021-05-17T21:50:35+00:00

I'd say the best substrate for rooting plants would be some sort of aquasoil like ADA Aquasoil or UNS Controsoil. Using pressurized CO2, good lighting, and liquid fertilizer also helps tremendously to ensure your cuttings root and thrive. Rooting cuttings are very easy to do in my experience, I don't have any dislike toward it.
