I'm a sucker for gadgets. Picked this up off of Ebay for injecting ferts down into my gravel bed. I'll give it a month and measure success if any. Kinda reminds you of the dentist doesn't it? Mike

That's interesting.... I use tabs and dose the water. I would think it would work.
......Nice cup! and there is a bunch of gadgets on your desk.

I actually made one of these to use for various purposes, including fert injection and feeding fry.
I got a rather large syringe from the farm store and a couple of pieces of rigid tubing from an under gravel filter.
I joined the two tubes together with a 1-inch piece of air hose and then joined the whole thing to the syringe using another 1-inch piece of air hose.

I use root tabs and dose as well but want to run an experiment on plants that don't have tabs on them. I've never had success with dwarf baby tears and want to give this gadget a whirl....
Nice cup right? My parents bought it for me. I have no idea what inspired that....

From what I'm understanding, it's co2 as the key DBTs. Sounds like you would have plenty to feed. and it's been proven it can grow about 20-30 PAR, so if your light and ferts are there, next step is the co2.

I've just had plain bad luck. Light, CO2 and ferts were there....but then again I've always planted them in larger tanks. I'm going to try it in a smaller controlled environment like my Biorb. I've got a nice spot in the middle to plant:
