So how often and how much should I be dosing my new 29g tank with Flourish Excel? It is moderately planted with an unknown variety of plants.

Thanks.

The dosing instuctions are on the bottle.I have 55g so, i dose 5ml daily.I also double that "10ml daily" sometimes to control BBA.

If you mean the regular Flourish and not Excel, then...

... I do 0.8 ML twice a week on my 10G. You may be able to do more than that, but I'm afraid of ODing.

Ah, I see the part now about daily dosing. I just skimmed over it and saw about the initial addition and water changes. My fault for not reading any further.

Thanks.

7ml daily in a 55

how much do you think a 5.5gallon needs dosing of flourish excel?

 

[fibertech]

.5 - .75 ml daily

I used Excel for the first time last week. Followed the initial dosing instructions on the bottle and I think it's too much. The little algae I had growing on the top of a piece of driftwood died off quickly. It also made the water cloudy.

I also heard that the cap is actually more than 5m. I didn't test it, but it might make sense since overdosing the stuff is known to kill algae. I dose less than what the bottle says, every two days now.

Buy an oral syringe to be more accurate
