{"product_id":"seachem-flourish-excel-250ml","title":"Seachem Flourish Excel","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeaChem Flourish Excel™ is a source of bioavailable organic carbon. All plants require a source of carbon. This is typically obtained from CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e, but, may also be derived from simple organic compounds (such as photosynthetic intermediates). The use of either CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003einjection 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 CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e. The combination is particularly ideal for situations when continuing to add CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecould result in dangerously low pH levels. Flourish Excel™ also has iron reducing properties which promote the ferrous state of iron (Fe\u003csup\u003e+2\u003c\/sup\u003e), which is more easily utilized by plants than ferric iron (Fe\u003csup\u003e+3\u003c\/sup\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason plants need CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis 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 CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"heading-primary\"\u003eDirections\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn initial use or after a major (\u0026gt; 40%) water change, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 US gallons).
