Flourish Excel 250ml

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

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

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

Benefits for Aquatic Plants

Adding Flourish Excel helps improve plant growth, particularly in aquariums where carbon supply is limited.

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

Instructions and Dosage

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

Daily dosage: 1 capful for 200 liters.

Operating Principle

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

These compounds include notably:

- 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 use effectively 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 and densely vegetated aquariums.
