Hallo frinds,
I am to start building a lightly planted tank for Sewelia lineolata, so wonder if they are sensitive to the fertiliser called Excel or Easy Carbo (organic Carbon source for plants, instead of CO2).
This source will make plants happy but there will be not much algae because of this, so I wonder yet again should I simply skip this bottle.
Do you guys and gals use any sort of plant fertiliser in Sewelia tanks? And if did you notice any issues?
KInd regards, Dusko
Sewelia and Easy Carbo/Excel dosing

Hi all,
short after I posted this Q I introduced 3 Sewelias into one of my established 180 litres planted tank where I dose daily Easy Carbo (carbon source) and trace elements in form of Pro Fito and once every second week Tropica N&P for NO3 and PO4.
So far I see no signs of stress. The Swellias are feeding normaly and interacting normaly. Their coloration is bright with a nice contrast.
SIDE NOTE! This aquarium has only one filter which is 600 l/h and an air-stone pump. No strong current.
I will try and update this thread acordingly.
Kind regards, Dusko
