ive just been reading some posts (and james planted tank page) and i was wondering if i could use flourish excel to add carbon to my tank rather than the c02 (fermentation) method i am using now, i seem to have got a little over whelmed with black staghorn and brush algae. although not too hideous it does annoy me. these algae i make out are caused by low c02 (and a few other factors) so maybe flourish would help?as i could measure it better than the fermentation method.
The tank is an Aqua one 6 gallon nano, with lighting that works out at 1.8watt per gallon, its heavily planted (and they are doing well) zero ammonia and nitrite but 30ppm of nitrate (local tapwater is awfull!!) i do 25% water changes a week, live stock is 10 neons and 5 cherry shrimp (will flourish kill the shrimps?)
any ideas wld be fab
