Seachem Flourish Excel Plant Fertilizer for Aquariums
All plants require a source of carbon. This is typically obtained from CO2, but may also be derived from simple organic compounds (such as photosynthetic intermediates). The Flourish Excel is used as an alternative to CO2 injection or in addition to it, to aid in producing longer chain carbon compounds also known as photosynthetic intermediates. By dosing with Flourish Excel you bypass the involvement of CO2 and introduce the already finished, structurally similar compounds. It is in its structural similarity that Flourish Excel is able to be utilized in the carbon chain building process of photosynthesis.

My aquarium plants have grown much healthier since I started using Flourish Excel. The color and density improved noticeably. I no longer need to rely heavily on CO2, which was expensive and hard to maintain. Easy to dose and effective.
Edward Allan –
Good alternative to CO2. My anubias and java ferns are thriving. I use it once a week and see visible growth. A bit more expensive than basic fertilizers, but worth it for plant health.
Theresa Hunter –
The plants in my tank have become fuller and more vibrant. I didn’t expect such a difference with just a weekly dose. Works well even in low-light conditions. No fish stress reported.
