Seachem Flourish Excel

Introduction

Seachem Flourish Excel is a liquid carbon supplement designed for use in freshwater planted aquariums. It provides an easily accessible source of carbon that promotes healthy plant growth and enhances the overall vitality of aquatic plants. Unlike traditional CO₂ injection systems, Flourish Excel offers a convenient alternative for aquarists who want to enrich their aquariums without the complexity of pressurized CO₂ setups.

Features

• Liquid Carbon Source: Flourish Excel provides a bioavailable form of carbon, essential for photosynthesis, helping to enhance plant growth and health.
• Algae Control: It may also inhibit the growth of certain algae, promoting a balanced and healthy aquatic environment.
• Easy to Use: The liquid format allows for easy dosing and incorporation into regular aquarium maintenance routines.
• Nutrient-Rich: Contains essential nutrients and organic compounds that support plant metabolism and overall health.
• Compatible with Fish and Invertebrates: Safe for use with fish and invertebrates when used as directed, making it suitable for community tanks.

Usage

• Dosing:
  • For initial treatment, use 1 mL per 10 gallons (40 liters) of aquarium water daily.
  • After 7 days, you can reduce the dosage to 1 mL per 20 gallons (80 liters) for maintenance.
• Application: Pour the measured amount directly into the tank, ideally near a water flow source to ensure even distribution.
• Frequency: Use daily for the best results, especially during periods of active plant growth.
• Water Changes: It is recommended to continue dosing after water changes to replenish the carbon supply.

Available Sizes

Seachem Flourish Excel is available in various sizes to suit different aquarium setups:

• 100 mL: Ideal for small to medium-sized aquariums or trial use.
• 500 mL: A standard size for regular use in mid-sized tanks.
• 2 Liters: Perfect for larger aquariums or for aquarists who frequently use Flourish Excel.

Recommendations

• Monitor Plant Growth: Keep an eye on the growth and health of your aquatic plants to determine if adjustments to the dosage are needed. If plants show signs of nutrient deficiencies or poor growth, consider increasing the dosage gradually.
• Combine with Other Nutrients: For optimal results, use Flourish Excel in conjunction with other Seachem products, such as Flourish (comprehensive plant supplement), Flourish Iron (for iron supplementation), or Flourish Trace (for micronutrients).
• Avoid Overuse: While Flourish Excel is safe for most aquatic life, avoid exceeding the recommended dosage, as excessive amounts can potentially harm sensitive plant species or invertebrates.
