Vallisneria Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 In my experience they don't mix. I melted a whole tank of Anacharis by using excel. I actually killed 2 batches before I figured it might be the excel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I think Seachem has a list of plants on their website that may not do well w. Excel. Val, and Riccia are other plants that can melt w. too much Excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Q: I've been using Flourish Excel for the 4 days, and I've noticed that my Anacharis seems to be dying, while my other plants are doing fine. Why is this? A: Anacharis is a particularly sensitive species (known to be sensitive to high temperature, trace copper, formaldehyde etc.). It is also sensitive to Flourish Excel. If you have Anacharis in an aquarium in which you are dosing Flourish Excel we recommend using Flourish Excel every other day rathter than daily. me no happy grrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I cant find anything on seachem about plants not liking excel, I emailed them to see if they can send me a list of plants that they know of and ill post the list if they send it for the people to read.

Mandy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I've been using Excel for about 2 weeks now and my Vals are as healthy as ever and still producing shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
