Seachem Flourish Excel is a source of bioavailable organic carbon for the planted aquarium. All plants require a source of carbon, typically obtained from CO2, but may also be derived from simple organic compounds such as photosynthetic intermediates.
Flourish Excel can be used as an alternative to CO2 injection or in addition to it. It also has iron-reducing properties which promote the ferrous state of iron (Fe+2), which is more easily utilized by plants than ferric iron (Fe+3).
