Excel or other co2 source

[mom2reds]

I do not want to do pressurized co2 right now but I need to use some kind of co2 source. What do yall use and where do you get it? I am currently only using flourish and root tabs. I have t5ho bulbs one plant bulb and one 6500k both 55 watts over a 75 gal. Tank. My Amazon swords are not looking to well at the moment and I am starting to get algae on my glass really quickly. I am only leaving my lights on for about 6 hours a day.

I don't see any amazon swords. Can you get a close up of the plant you're talking about?

By Flourish do you mean flourish comprehensive?

As for a carbon source go with this

Cidex Metricide Omnicide 14 Day Sterilization Gallon | eBay

It's twice as strong as excel so only dose half as much.

Sorry I bought the plants labeled swords but I think they maybe jungle Val's. They are pictured in the back of the tank in the first picture, and yes it is flourish comprehensive. Do you know Mebbid does the flourish have to be refrigerated?

Thanks for the link I will get that.

They might be jungle vals.

As for the metricide, no it doesn't have to be refrigerated.

Yeppers. Just don't use the activator that comes with it.
