Is Seachem Flourish Excel safe for shrimps?

[AndyEllard]

It might be a silly question but Is Seachem Flourish Excel safe for shrimps?

I have took this quote from a listing for it and was not sure about the iron statement, as I have read that shrimps are sensitive to Iron. I see it says it has iron reducing properties but not sure if it converts to a different type of Iron which is worse for shrimps.

"Flourish Excelâ„¢ also has iron reducing properties which promote the ferrous state of iron (Fe+2), which is more easily utilized by plants than ferric iron (Fe+3)."

I've used it as well with both Cherry Shrimp & CRS. It is pretty well mentioned on shrimp forums i've visited as well.

I would think if it wasn't safe for inverts then there would be a warning on the bottle but also Seachem would need to have made it shrimp safe really as a lot of planted tanks contain shrimp
