Seachem Flourish Excel is a highly effective liquid carbon supplement designed to boost the growth and health of aquatic plants in planted aquariums. Unlike traditional CO2 injection systems, Seachem Flourish Excel offers a bioavailable organic carbon source that plants can readily utilize. This alternative carbon source is especially beneficial for those who may find CO2 injection challenging or wish to avoid the potential pH drops associated with it. By providing essential carbon in a convenient liquid form, Flourish Excel supports the production of vital photosynthetic intermediates, promoting lush, vibrant plant growth. Whether used alone or in conjunction with CO2, Flourish Excel ensures your plants receive the carbon they need to thrive.
Seachem Flourish Excel contains major ingredients that help to enhance plant growth. Moreover, it also has iron-reducing properties, which help maintain iron in a form that plants more easily absorb. The dual benefit makes it an excellent choice for maintaining a healthy and balanced aquarium ecosystem. Additionally, Flourish Excel can aid in controlling algae growth in Aquariums by ensuring that your plants have an ample supply of carbon, allowing them to outcompete algae for nutrients. Safe for all aquarium inhabitants when used as directed, Flourish Excel is a simple yet powerful tool for any planted aquarium enthusiast.
