Seachem Flourish Excel™
is a bioavailable organic carbon source for planted aquariums, serving as an alternative or complement to CO2 injection. Carbon is essential for plant growth, and Flourish Excel introduces simple organic compounds, similar to photosynthetic intermediates, which plants can use in the carbon chain-building process. This makes it highly effective in promoting photosynthesis without the need for complex CO2 systems. Flourish Excel also reduces iron, making it easier for plants to absorb nutrients.
Key Features
- Bioavailable Organic Carbon: Supplies essential carbon for plant growth in a form that is readily utilized.
- CO2 Alternative or Supplement: Can be used in place of CO2 injection or together with CO2 to enhance plant health.
- Promotes Photosynthesis: Introduces photosynthetic intermediates, aiding in the natural carbon chain-building process.
- Iron Reduction Properties: Helps convert iron into a form that is more easily absorbed by plants (ferrous iron, Fe+2).
- Safe and Effective: Ideal for balancing CO2 levels without affecting pH, especially in delicate ecosystems.
