Seachem Laboratories Flourish Excel Plant Supplement

Flourish Excel serves as a readily available source of organic carbon. Every plant needs a carbon supply, usually sourced from CO2, but it can also come from simple organic compounds like photosynthetic intermediates. Using CO2 injection or Flourish Excel doesn't mean you can't use the other. Since the processes of making photosynthetic intermediates and building on them happen at the same time, you can get great benefits from using Flourish Excel alone or with CO2. This combination is especially perfect when adding more CO2 might lead to dangerously low pH levels. Flourish Excel also reduces iron, promoting the ferrous state (Fe2), which plants can use more easily than ferric iron (Fe3).

Using Flourish Excel is straightforward. Just add it to your aquarium water as directed on the product label. You can use it alone or in combination with CO2 injection for better results. When using it with CO2, keep an eye on the pH level of your water to avoid it dropping too low. It's a good idea to test the water regularly. As for maintenance, store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help keep it effective for a long time. Remember, a little goes a long way, so follow the dosage instructions carefully to ensure the health and growth of your aquatic plants.
