Flourish Excel is a liquid supplement for planted freshwater aquariums, sold in a 500 ml bottle. It is intended for keepers who want to support plant growth alongside CO2 injection, or in tanks that run without CO2.
Why it matters
- Plants can take up carbon from organic compounds, not only from dissolved CO2, so the product supplies a carbon source that does not depend on gas injection.
- It can be used with or without CO2 dosing, and the two methods can be alternated.
- Alternating with CO2 is suited to situations where adding gas may cause a sharp drop in water pH.
- Its reducing action converts iron from the Fe3+ form to Fe2+, which plants absorb more readily.

Frequently asked questions
No. The product can be used with or without gaseous CO2, and according to the manufacturer it is beneficial either way. Using both methods on alternating days is especially useful when adding CO2 may cause a sharp drop in pH.
Yes. The product has strong reducing properties toward iron, which increases the amount of Fe2+ ions. Plants take up Fe2+ more readily than Fe3+.
It contains compounds structurally similar to the intermediates of photosynthesis, which are five-carbon chains. Plants receive these ready-to-use building blocks and convert them with their own enzymes, without having to produce them from CO2 first.
Each package contains 500 ml, and its listed weight is 0.5 kg.
