I have several fancy guppies. Has anyone used Seachem Flourish Excel with guppies in their tank and, if so, any problems?

I have a male guppy, neon tetras and two corys all in the same tank. I haven't noticed any problems. I think it's safe.

I have used Seachem -Excel for the last 8 months and did not find any problems with guppies.

Haven't encountered any problems yet. I have a 10 gallon planted aquarium deticated specially for my guppies. I have co2 runnning and seachem fert lines ( excel, iron, flourish, npk). I doze it according to the bottle. So far all my guppies and frys are all happy and healthy.

I have 2 male show guppies in my 75 gallon planted tank. I add a dose of Excel daily with no issues.

I have a 15 tall with many females who have all decided to breed. It's out of control. I use Excel in this tank, and everyone's happy.

I have a fancy guppy in mine and I have dosed Excel just fine. You don't need Excel just for guppies though, it's only necessary for carbon supplementation for aquatic plants.

The light that comes with it is too weak for any but low-light plants. My tank is by a window, though, and I do use a weekly carbon supplement, Seachem's Flourish Excel. I have anubias, cardamine lyrata, and an unknown vine in there now, and they grow so quickly I am constantly pruning!

I keep an African Dwarf Frog with my Betta. I really enjoy him. you could keep one or two small fish like terra. I would not personally put a goldfish in there. goldfish are very messy Fish and Aquarium even though it has a filter really isn't sufficient for that unless you want to do water changes a lot

I see no problem at all with my tank. As Im using all seachem ferts on my tank. Florish excel is basically liquid co2. If you don't have co2 and you have plants that requires excel. Then you must get it. As for trace elements. I use em combined with flourish and excel and other ferts. Just follow the dosing instructions

I have a few other types in my 125 gallon tank and they seem to get along nicely. No issues for the past few months they have been together!

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first. Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

Yes. I've had no problems. Very reliable at keeping constant temp in my tank.

I added the formula to the existing water (make sure you have good circulation) and didn't do a water change until I had completed the treatment (it suggests this on the bottle as well). Just be very careful with scaless fish such as puffers b/c the treatment is pretty toxic for them.

I wish I could help but I'm not sure about PH fluctuations with this product. Since I have Cichlids that love a high PH I no longer monitor it since my water is high in PH already and they are so hearty.

The manufacturer is wrong. I've just recently used it on my 110 gallon goldfish tank, and it turned the water green/blue (not difficult to remove with a fresh carbon filter). As for whether it will permanently stain silicon, yes, it does. But that doesn't bother me.

I've had no problems with the unit.. I feel it works tremendously.I have a 200 gallon fish tank. with this unit I have no problems going on vacation for a week.I use a 20 gallon freshwater tub to replenish the evaporation.

I use mine on 75g tank with angel fish and community fish, its not planted but I only have to add water every week and clean it once a month.

Depends on what you put in the tank and where you have it directed. I mean if you have Mollies or something like that it might be to much but if you have African Chiclids it is GREAT. If you have Plecos Like a Galaxy Vampire Or a Golden Hetrodon for example they come from the rivers of South America and LOVE fast moving waters so again it depends

To be honest, I Loved mine! I have since upgraded to a aqueon filter for my 75 gallon and is excellent as well! I swear by their filters. Bit don't ever buy their led bubble strips! They are all junk! :)

I know next to nothing about growing flora in the aquarium except some BS I've read in forums. I have planted a low growing and tall growing pair of plants in my 29 high tank with the appropriate sized model of this light. It is a medium populated community tank and I do not use CO2. I do dose daily with Flourish Excel. My plants appear to be doing well and some new sprouts have developed and are growing. I will take a picture and post it in the user pictures portion.

It's my understanding that additional fertilizers are not required, however i do use Seachem Flourish Tablets in my tank along with the CaribSea Eco-Complete

I've had three betta's in this and never had a problem. I turned the filter down to the lowest level and put a sponge over the output. That way I still have flow, but not too powerful. My betta's thrive in the extra space and clean water. :)
