It's not a "one or the other" thing. The various seachem products
compliment each other. Flourish provides the micro-nutrients,
including some iron, but not enough iron in most cases. Flourish iron
doesn't provide any of the other needed traces, just the iron. So,
Flourish Iron + Flourish = all micro nutrients should be good.

Flourish Excel is a source of carbon. It might be beneficial if you
are not injecting CO2. It doesn't completely replace CO2 injection,
but it can improve growth if you can't/won't do CO2 injection.
