Hey guys, so I dose my planted 10g with flourish. Would it be wise to get some excel as well to dose along side with regular flourish??

Yeah, its just that I leave the house early and my daughter has a 5 gallon planted betta tank in her room. She is 4 years old and I don't want to wake her. So her tank usually gets dosed when I come home which is usually only an hour before she goes to bed. I work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week. So the other 3 days her tank gets dosed in the morning or mid-day.aqua_chem said:It also has a half life of about 12 hours, so if you dose at night, it will have mostly decayed by the next day, whereas if you dose it when the lights first come on, it will be at full strength during your photoperiod.
