It's called Flourish Excel. You just dose as directed on the bottle.

Yup, pretty simple. I dose Excel in my pretty heavily planted 60g, along with pressurized CO2 as a supplement...I think its like one capful per 50 gallons that you pour in the tank daily every morning or whenever the lights turn on. You can also use the other brands like the API CO2 Booster, and glutaraldehyde which is what Rivercats doses in her amazing 220g.
