Description
xSeachem Flourish Excel is a powerful liquid carbon supplement specifically formulated for planted aquariums. It provides a readily available source of organic carbon, which is essential for plant growth and photosynthesis. This makes it an excellent alternative to CO₂ injection systems, particularly for hobbyists who do not want the complexity or expense of CO₂ equipment. Flourish Excel not only boosts plant growth but also helps combat algae by giving plants the resources they need to outcompete algae for nutrients.
Key Features:
- Liquid Carbon Source: Carbon is crucial for plant health, as it is the backbone of photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light and nutrients into energy. Flourish Excel supplies this in a form that is easily absorbed by plants, helping to stimulate vibrant growth and healthier leaves.
- Algae Control: By supplying plants with adequate carbon, Flourish Excel helps reduce algae growth in the aquarium. Algae often thrive in environments where plants are carbon-limited, and the increased carbon availability allows plants to grow faster and outcompete algae for nutrients, thus naturally suppressing its growth.
- Enhances Plant Growth: It provides a boost to both slow-growing and fast-growing plants, helping with lush growth in all types of planted tanks. It is especially beneficial in low-tech setups where CO₂ injection is not used.
How to Use:
Seachem Flourish Excel is easy to use and does not require any additional equipment. It can be used in conjunction with other plant fertilizers, such as Seachem Flourish for comprehensive nutrient coverage.
- Initial Dose: On the first day of use, add 5 mL for every 40 liters of water.
- Maintenance Dose: After the initial dose, add 5 mL for every 200 liters of water daily or every other day, depending on the plant density and tank setup.
- Application: Pour the recommended dose directly into the aquarium in an area with good water circulation to help distribute it throughout the tank.
Special Considerations:
While Flourish Excel is generally safe for most aquarium plants, care should be taken when using it with more sensitive species like Vallisneria, which may react poorly to high concentrations. It's also safe for fish and invertebrates, making it a versatile addition to any planted tank without risking harm to the tank inhabitants.
Advantages Over CO₂ Injection:
Flourish Excel provides an easy and cost-effective alternative to CO₂ injection systems. While CO₂ injection is highly effective for supplying carbon to plants, it requires additional equipment, ongoing monitoring, and a more technical approach. Flourish Excel, on the other hand, offers a simpler solution that can still significantly improve plant health and growth, especially in lower-tech or smaller setups.
In summary, Seachem Flourish Excel is a valuable product for aquarists seeking to promote healthy plant growth without the need for complex CO₂ systems. It’s easy to dose, safe for all aquarium inhabitants, and provides an effective way to ensure plants have the carbon they need for optimal growth and to naturally reduce algae competition

Micro Aquatic Care Instructions
xOur shop always delivers healthy shrimp and fish with the best color of their own.
However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.
