A tool designed to make placing root tabs easy and with minimal disruption to the substrate.

The design includes a threaded and removable tip so you can cheaply and easily use the device for multiple sizes of root tabs.

The provided tip is designed for a snug fit on "00" sized gel caps (the most commonly used size). I have designed and tested the device with Thrive Caps in mind, other brands are sure to work too, but i have not personally tested any.

PLA or PETG are recommended as they are both food safe plastics and will not leach anything into the aquarium. My personal preference is for PETG due to it being less brittle.
