Dosing dry ferts or Excel with RCS

Hi

I have a new planted 10 gallon for Endlers and RCS. Can/should I be using dry ferts and/or Flourish Excel? Will this hurt the RCS?

Thanks

Ferts are fine but some people have reported problems with excell. I don't know. Co2 if used carefully is fine too.
I had RCS in my high tech tank (CO2, ferts, T5 lighting)...no issues.
Excel is fine too, I only do half dose but they can tolerate full.

+1. Same here. Just don't squirting/pouring the full amount straight on baby shrimps and they will be fine. Don't do the 5ml/10gal dose right away, work your way up slowly.
Oh! That is good to know! Would excell be fine with any neo? (of course with the exception of the wimpy yellows)
:)
