I have several planted tanks, all doing well, but I am curious about using Seachem Excel with certain plants, namely Amazon Swords and Hornwort. a) Is it effective for Amazon Swords since they feed from roots? b) Is it good for Hornwort?
I am using it in my tanks, but have noticed that while the swords are doing good, they don't seem to be getting much bigger with Excel, so I questioned if it's even effective for them. I also dose Flourish a couple times a week as well. Secondly, my floating Hornwort is growing, but wonder in this case if Excel is actually hindering it at all. I only say that because since using Excel in my 120gal, with Hornwort being the only plant in there, it seems to be flourishing less (not dying) since using Excel.
My tanks have bright lighting. I am not injecting Co2 and am hoping not to since I have 5 planted tanks and bottled nutrients are easier.
I would welcome any feedback.
