Hello Everyone,
Forgive this repost / re-visitation of an older topic/thread... I had initial posted a reply to a much older thread and fear my question may have gotten lost. I am mostly concerned with unintentionally harming/killing my nerites and mystery snail(s) and Khulie Loaches, even with properly dosing Flourish Excel.
I would really appreciate shared knowledge on this topic...
Many thanks !

"Hello All... Mark A.. new to the CARE Forum but not to FW aquarium hobby...
I too am battling a BBA encroachment and saw numerous vids regarding it's (Seachem Flourish Excel) value (Note: Had I known of Easy Carbon being similar, I would have started there).
Yes, the product disclaimers are a bit daunting... but with a bit of precaution and common sense (handling harsh chemicals) I want to give it a try because I Need to stop the BBA !
My question is regarding any potential for toxicity to Snails (nerites & mystery) and well as 'scale-less fish' (Kuhli Loaches), please ?
Also, I too would appreciate a re-post of the mentioned Scientist warning on Flourish Excel use/exposure, please ?
Lastly, I found a great set of 'ML' graduated syringes with 10-inch long, 14-gauge 'blunt' needles that is perfect for direct/spot dosing... available at 'everyone's favorite
internet shopping' site (name withheld as I am new to Forum name-dropping).
Thank you for whatever advice can be shared regarding BBA & Seachem Flourish Excel !
Mark A."
