Plants use nitrate and ammonium.

Though I do remember reading that some plant species prefer nitrate uptake

This is a liquid 'carbon'. So doesn't affect your use at all. :-)

Doesn't affect any of Seachems products negatively at all.

Well not unless you count that if you add Excel, then your plants will 
simply absorb more of these plant fertilisers, grow better so you'll 
probably need to buy more of their products. ;-)
