    Seachem Flourish Excel

    £8.64

    Seachem Flourish Excel is a organic carbon source designed for the use in planted aquariums, where missing carbon dioxide is limiting the plant / macroalgae growth. An easy solution to add carbon to the planted aquarium which can be used as an alternative to CO2 injection or in addition. 
    It is recommended to add when the macroalgae growth is limited due to the lack of carbon dioxide, especially in a more heavier planted reef tank / macroalgae refugium.

    Seachem Flourish® Excel Supplement for the Planted Aquarium 100ml / 250ml / 500ml / 2L

    Flourish Excel™ is a source of bioavailable organic carbon. All plants / macroalgae require a source of carbon. This is typically obtained from CO2, but, may also be derived from simple organic compounds (such as photosynthetic intermediates). The use of either CO2 injection or Flourish Excel™ does not necessarily negate the use of the other. Because the processes of producing photosynthetic intermediates and building onto them occur simultaneously, one can derive a substantial benefit with the use of Flourish Excel™ either alone or in conjunction with CO2 . The combination is particularly ideal for situations when continuing to add CO2 could result in dangerously low pH levels. Flourish Excel™ 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).

    The reason plants / macroalgae need CO2 is to produce longer chain carbon compounds also known as photosynthetic intermediates. Photosynthetic intermediates includes compounds such as ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, and 2-carboxy-3-keto-D-arabinitol 1,5 bisphosphate. Although the names are complicated, the structures are quite simple (5 carbon chains). Flourish Excel™ does not contain these specific compounds per se, but one that is quite similar. By dosing with Flourish Excel™ you bypass the involvement of CO2 and introduce the already finished, structurally similar compounds. It is in its structural similarity that Flourish Excel™ is able to be utilized in the carbon chain building process of photosynthesis. Simple chemical or enzymatic steps can easily convert it to any one to any one of the above named compounds (or a variety of others).

    Instruction Guidelines

    • On initial use or after a major (> 40%) water change, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L .
    • Thereafter use 1 capful for every 200 L  daily or every other day.
    • For smaller dosing please note that each cap thread is approximately 1 mL.

    Caution
    Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Handle with care in the aquarium.
