## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use them in sand**
A: Yes they're actually better in sand because they won't fog the water up at all. 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 . Ii hope this has helped
