Rails simple-form with multiple instances of the same object

I am trying to create a rails form using simple form that uses nested resources. However, I want to be able to submit multiple instances of the associated resource. Example below will probably explain it better. 

<div class="tab-pane active" id="reminder">
    <%= simple_form_for @collection, html: {multipart: true}, url: collection_index_path do |m| %>

        <%= render partial: "collection/tabs/reminder", locals: { :m => m } %>
    </div>

-inside partial

<% 9.times do |j|%>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="<%= j %>">
        <%= m.simple_fields_for :reminder do |p| %>
            <%= p.input :heading %>
            <%= p.input :message %>
        <% end %>           
    </div>

There is a tabbed pane in which the user can click through 9 tabs to set up to 9 reminders, all should be associated with a collection (collection model accepts nested attributes for reminder). However, the way I have it setup now, the controller only gets what was set in the last reminder in the params. Anyway ideas would be appreciated.

There must be some way to distinguish tabs before submitting to controller. And i think answer might be here. i.e. it looks like this:

<% 9.times do |j|%>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="<%= j %>">
        <%= m.simple_fields_for :reminders do |p| %>
           <%= p.input :heading %>
           <%= p.input :message %>
        <% end %>
    </div>
<% end %>
