So I went to Big Al’s (huge fish store) where I asked an employee if I needed some form of CO2 injection or if the Flourish Excel was all I needed for my aquarium, he said I only needed the Flourish Excel. However I’ve been doing some research on the internet and have found out that Flourish Excel is not in fact the CO2 plants need to breath but a sort of fertilizer that injects organic carbon to only HELP plants grow. If I DO need a CO2 injection then could I use this solution? Also if you can give me some feedback on the solution that would be great. (Is it effective? Might I as well buy a CO2 injection instead?)

Plants; 2 amazon swords, 2 dwarf sagittarias, and it appears that my amazon swords are reproducing, there are 3 small amazon sword run offs with these huge stems going back to the parent plant. (I plan to add more plants in the near future). Any help is greatly appreciated. Pleccy, as to the details of the light I don’t know, but I do know that it’s the appropriate one according to Big Al’s. They said that if I had a planted aquarium I had to pick the one in the green box that said “20″ for the 20 gallon tank. So I asume that the lighting is correct. (It’s fluorescent not iridescent)
