Seachem Flourish Excel
All plants require a source of carbon, and Flourish Excel is a simple source of readily available organic carbon that directly benefits the growth and overall development of a wide variety of aquatic plants. Typically carbon comes from CO2, but it can also be derived from simple organic compounds such as photosynthetic intermediates, which are found in this formula.
Using Flourish Excel does not negate the benefits of CO2 injection. In fact, because the processes surrounding the production and development of photosynthetic intermediates occur simultaneously with CO2 utilization, aquarists can achieve substantial benefits when using both Seachem Flourish Excel and in-tank CO2 injections together.
| Key Benefits | Application Notes |
|---|---|
| Provides organic carbon for plant growth | Can be used in combination with CO2 systems |
| Supports photosynthetic intermediates | Enhances plant development in low-light or low-CO2 environments |
