The usual ferts that we use have been proven to not have any adverse effects on fauna, even shrimps. Even in the event of an overdose, all you will get is algae, and not deaths. Unless so much has been added that it completely alters the aquarium's chemistry.

Excel is also quite harmless (it depends on fauna) and it is pretty safe to overdose. I overdose about 2-3 times on a daily basis and my sterbai are fine, and have laid eggs on numerous occasions. Any excel in your aquarium dissipates in about 24 hours, according to information by Seachem. So, it is advisable to daily dose excel for optimal effectiveness.

On a happy note, I will be closing this thread in the next few days. Corydoras Tank II is coming!

This thread has been around for 1 year and 8 months. It has been a fantastic ride but it's now to end it. There is a new build found at: http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=473118. Please visit it and direct all your questions/discussions there.

Thank you all for participating in this thread and I have high hopes for the new tank. See you there!
