Regular Member Lolafish Posted December 20, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted December 20, 2007 Okay, I found a formula online that automatically calculates CO2.It's hard to get optimal readings with higher PH's. The lower the PH, the better. I need my PH at just under 8 (my KH won't stay near 100 without the higher PH right now - cannot get anything to dissolve that I've been putting in to raise KH: limestone, cuttlebone, natural river stones, etc..).So, would adding something like Seachem's Flourish be enough to sustain the small-medium stocking of plants, without having a negative impact on KH/PH?I meant to reply to my previous thread. Oh well. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alot easier to use than a CO2 system and has an added side effect of helping to control algae. It also does not affect Kh levels like CO2 does. The only negatives I can think of is it can be more expensive than co2, paticularly on a large tank. Also, routinely overdosing with excel can be harmfull to the plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted December 20, 2007 Admin Share Posted December 20, 2007 When I had a planted tank I would use this stuff and loved it, I also tried the little co2 maker but man it stinks when you need to clean it and add yest to it again but it worked nice for a 30 gal tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
