Low Dose Liquid Carbon

[Uriel]

I was thinking of using a little liquid carbon (Seachem Flourish Excel) in my aquarium but i don't like adding in too many chemicals with my fish and wondered if it was effective in lower doses than reccomended. My aquarium is a medium planted low tech. I was going to use 7.5ml a day in a 500l tank(so 50% dose).

The effectiveness won't change, but the supply of carbon will be short.

Your fish will be safe, especially since you have dosed 50% to start with as it will have gradually acclimatised them.

I have dosed 5x the reccomendation, it was a high tech tank, but the shrimp in there were fine which were the most sensitive specie.

Thanks, Aaron
