As far as I understand, both of these products are intended to serve as a liquid source of carbon.
I've read of various uses for dosing Excel aside from using in lieu of pressurized CO2 such as algae treatment and as a "preservative" in mixing your own liquid ferts.
So my question is: Is there any difference in which you would use for any of those other applications?
My reason for asking is that the LFS only had the API CO2 booster. I purchased it before adding pressurized CO2. I'm not using it anymore but I wondered if I could simply use it like Excel for those other applications or if there was some difference that might suggest I just go out and get some Excel.
