    Hallo Everyone!

    Some of you may remember that I experienced glancing in my 30 liter tank for no conclusive reason. I had my suspicions about the Flourish Excel that I've been adding to the tank, and stopped.

    I've now set up a 100 liter and once again I'm experiencing glancing fish. I added Flourish Excel to this tank since my suspicions with regards to the link between that and my glancing fish could not be established via similar complaints / suspicions.

    Could anyone please advice if they have experienced similar reactions to Flourish Excel? (I don't want to badmouth the product, just establish if in my particular case it would be better to decrease the dosage or use something else altogether. The DO NOT OVERDOSE part just has me worried a bit)

    Ammonia levels in check. Did a metronidazole treatment for in case it was the start of Ich or something - fish still glancing!

    Assistance and suggestions would be appreciated!

    Defenitely not the excell, allot of guys uses excell on this forum, and allot of guys over dose on it to prevent or fight algae issues. No harm done. SO something else thats causing the problem.

    Oh ok cool then, glad you realized what the cause was. But in general they do glance now and then.
