Seachem Flourish Excel 250mL — Bioavailable Organic Carbon Booster for Photosynthesis and Energy Production in Plants of Regular-Size Fish Tanks
Seachem Flourish Excel 250mL (SKU: 724859-456) is a liquid organic carbon supplement engineered to support plant growth in freshwater aquariums. Carbon is a fundamental building block for plant tissue, essential for photosynthesis and energy production. While plants can extract carbon from dissolved CO2, Excel provides a direct organic carbon alternative that requires no specialised gas injection equipment.
Flourish Excel supplies organic carbon compounds that plants easily integrate into metabolic processes, encouraging healthy foliage growth and strong root development. It also helps maintain iron in its bioavailable ferrous (Fe²⁺) state, further supporting plant nutrition. The 250mL bottle is an ideal choice for standard home display aquariums.
