lucky lucky.
I use Seachem Flourish to bump phosphate from time to time without issue, but not with Excel. Flourish acts like a fertilizer and excel acts the same but through C02 adds. So you’re right, a double shot. One or the other if you need to bump for plant stuff. They should do well in a .1ppm to .3ppm range without overtaxing your filtration, or making corals unhappy.
So glad you were able to dodge that one!

Yes sir, I do consider myself lucky!
Actually I like what you are saying about adding one or the other. Excel I think works to make carbon more available to the macros/plants. I plan to read more about it to actually learn how it works. I know Flourish has iron and other things that plants/macros need.
The coral did not seem to be impacted negatively at all. In fact they all looked especially happy but that was probably due to the water change.
