Flourish Excel 100ml

Flourish Excel 100 ml Seachem is a bioavailable organic carbon supplement intended for planted freshwater aquariums.

It provides plants with organic compounds structurally similar to those they naturally produce and use directly for their growth.

Flourish Excel can be used alone or as a complement to a CO2 injection system, without negative interaction with it.

Benefits for Aquatic Plants

The addition of Flourish Excel helps improve plant growth, especially in aquariums where carbon supply is limited.

It serves as an alternative or complementary source to CO2, easily assimilated by aquatic plants.

Instructions for Use and Dosage

First use or after a significant water change: 5 ml for 40 liters.

Daily dosage: 1 cap for 200 liters.

Operating Principle

During photosynthesis, plants produce carbon compounds more complex than CO2, called photosynthetic intermediates.

These compounds include:

- Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate

- 2-carboxy-3-keto-D-arabinitol 1,5-bisphosphate

These molecules are short carbon chains essential to plant metabolism.

Flourish Excel does not directly contain these specific molecules but provides similar, bioavailable organic compounds that plants can effectively use to support their growth.

Recommended Use

Flourish Excel is particularly suited for planted aquariums without CO2 injection, or as a complement to an existing CO2 system.

It is suitable for both sparsely planted tanks and densely planted aquariums.
