I was looking on www.freshwateraquariumplants.com and did not recognize alot of their products. Is "Natural Aquarium Vital" the same as Flourish Excel?
It says that- "This is a natural formulation that enhances the ability of plants and microbes to obtain nutrients and energy from water and light. Natural Aquarium Vital, a liquid, time-released CO2 producer, is quite different than the chemical formulas on the market. There's no need for CO2 cylinders, controllers or monitoring devices! The carbon cycle is maintained as in nature. 16 oz. supplements 50 gallons for up to 3 months."
Has anyone had any experience with this product? Is it any good?

No, it is nothing like the Seachem product. The Marc Weis' products are not very well respected in the hobby. See:

Other than the first and last posts, the others apply, a couple specifically refer to the "Vitals".

If you want a CO2 substitute, use Excel. It works.
