Overview Flourish Excel™ is a source of bioavailable organic carbon. All plants require a source of carbon. This is typically obtained from CO2, but, may also be derived from simple organic compounds (such as photosynthetic intermediates). The use of either CO2 injection or Flourish Excel™ does not necessarily negate the use of the other. Because the processes of producing photosynthetic intermediates and building onto them occur simultaneously, one can derive a substantial benefit with the use of Flourish Excel™ either alone or in conjunction with CO2 . The combination is particularly ideal for situations when continuing to add CO2 could result in dangerously low pH levels. Flourish Excel™ also has iron reducing properties which promote the ferrous state of iron (Fe+2), which is more easily utilized by plants than ferric iron (Fe+3). The reason plants need CO2 is to produce longer chain carbon compounds also known as photosynthetic intermediates. Photosynthetic intermediates includes compounds such as ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, and 2-carboxy-3-keto-D-arabinitol 1,5 bisphosphate. Although the names are complicated, the structures are quite simple (5 carbon chains). Flourish Excel™ does not contain these specific compounds per se, but one that is quite similar. By dosing with Flourish Excel™ you bypass the involvement of CO2 and introduce the already finished, structurally similar compounds. It is in its structural similarity that Flourish Excel™ is able to be utilized in the carbon chain building process of photosynthesis. Simple chemical or enzymatic steps can easily convert it to any one to any one of the above named compounds (or a variety of others). Sizes: 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2 L, 4 L Directions On initial use or after a major (> 40%) water change, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 US gallons). Thereafter use 1 capful for every 200 L (50 US gallons) daily or every other day. For smaller dosing please note that each cap thread is approximately 1 m CAUTION: Do not eat drink or get into eyes. In case of eye exposure, promptly & thoroughly wash eyes with water & seek medical attention.

Premium Iron Supplement for Planted Aquariums | Fast Foliar Absorption | Prevents Chlorosis 💚 Restore Vibrant Green Growth Iron is immobile in plants, meaning it cannot be transferred from older leaves to new growth. When iron is deficient, symptoms appear first in young leaves, causing: ✔ Yellowing (chlorosis) ✔ Pale emerging leaves ✔ Short, slender stems ✔ Progressive lightening of new growth Flourish Iron™ provides iron in the preferred ferrous (+2) form, allowing rapid uptake and correction of deficiencies in planted aquariums. 🔬 Why Iron Form Matters When selecting an iron supplement, the oxidation state is critical: ❌ Ferric Iron (Fe³⁺) Only soluble below pH 5.5 Precipitates in typical aquarium pH Settles into substrate Not available for foliar absorption Often chelated as Iron-EDTA Requires plant energy to reduce to ferrous form ✅ Ferrous Iron (Fe²⁺) Soluble at all aquarium pH levels Immediately bioavailable Easily absorbed through leaves No energy wasted on reduction Flourish Iron™ uses a ferrous iron gluconate complex (not a chelate) for superior availability. 🌱 Advanced Formula Advantage Highly Concentrated – 10,000 mg/L Ferrous Iron Unlike iron-EDTA products: ✔ Weaker bonding than EDTA = better release ✔ Faster plant uptake ✔ No physiological energy drain ✔ More effective foliar feeding ✔ Provides additional carbon via gluconate Despite common myths, ferrous gluconate is safe for fish and plants when used as directed. 🐠 Ideal For High-light planted aquariums CO₂ injected systems Red plant enhancement Rapid growth aquascapes Correction of iron chlorosis Professional aquascaping layouts Perfect for gallery-style planted systems such as Nature Aquariums, Iwagumi layouts, Dutch style tanks, and contemporary aquascapes. 📌 Key Features • 10,000 mg/L ferrous iron gluconate • Immediate bioavailability • Prevents yellowing in new growth • Supports chlorophyll production • Safe for freshwater planted tanks • Professional-grade concentration 🌿 Symptoms of Iron Deficiency If you notice: Yellow new leaves with green veins Increasing paleness in each new leaf Weak stem structure Your plants are likely iron deficient — supplement promptly for optimal results.
