I’ve used Flourish Excel in my 20-gallon tank for three months. My plants grew much faster than before, and I noticed fewer algae blooms. The liquid is easy to mix and doesn’t affect water chemistry. Great for beginners without CO2 systems.

It’s a solid alternative to CO2 injection. My stem plants and mosses are thriving. I still monitor water parameters, but growth has improved noticeably. A bit more expensive than other options, but worth it for the results.
