I am not sure if it is the tap water, the concentration of the ferts, or the fact that they are not recieving light, but I have no growth in mine.
I can make no personal observation on excel, but have read some threads that made me use it as a possibly magic potion. I am probably going to buy some in the next month or so (perhaps the next hr to be honest - since I suspect I have a c02 diffecency in a tank and feel my ladder is maxed out.

My micro mixture is pretty low concentration, I assume... its about 3/4 of a gallon of tap water, with 12 ml Flourish and 12 ml Flourish Iron. It's got a dark urine, I mean, amber, coloration. I will watch this for a couple of weeks, and if it doesn't go away or gets worse, try covering the milk jugs. If that doesn't help, I'll look for more input... Excel might be a possibility, not sure about its fungicidal properties... according to Seachem, it helps to keep the ferrous Iron in it's reduced state, so I figure it wouldn't hurt to add some to the solution. A true magic potion?
