Excel harmful to inverts?

[Pyramid_Party]

Hi,


Would Seachem excel kill snails and/or crayfish/shrimp? I've heard its cause it has copper in it, but I heard the copper is a different kind and shouldnt kill them. I dont know really. Does anyone know??

excel kills everything if you use too much

it does not kill inverts if used as directed.

i used it for months with RCS and had no problems. CRS and other fragile shrimp may have a problem with it, im 100% not sure about that.

Yeah I know an overdose can asphyxiate fish/inverts, but I heard the death is related to an ingredient. Well, if you guys use it and have had no problems, I can assume the chemicals in excel aren't harmful to inverts.

I usually WAY over dose excel, and have never had any problems with fish or inverts. This was in high light setups.

I'm pretty sure MTS are immortal... I've had tanks that I take down, drain, and leave dry, but with gravel for months on end, sometimes as long as a year, and the MTS come right back when the water goes back in.
