Has anyone in the forum used 6-0-6 Plant Food Spikes for Palms in their planted aquarium?

Not for palms but have used the ones for ferns.

Are you talking about the type sold for pot plants, not aquariums? I've wondered about them.

Yes the jobe fertilizer sticks. I usually break them into 3rds and put each piece under a plant.

I hear JOBE's are the ONLY ones you can use in an aquarium though, my buddy uses them in all his planted tanks.

I presume someone somewhere has.

But not me.

My tanks have ran for up to 8 years with no added fertz.

I've read of some folks taking some Osmocote beads & putting them into an ice cube tray. Once frozen, they push the ice cube into the gravel or substrate & of course once thawed out, the beads are left in place for roots to feed on for several months (I think those are good for 4 months). I haven't fertilized my plants yet but seems to be doing fine (I haven't done any cleaning other than the glass & proper filter maintenance).
