Excel isn't that effective as a replacement for co2 IMO. Its a carbon source, yes, but it isn't as effective as injected co2 (yeast or pressurized).

I have never used a tablet system, but it looks like a waste of money to me. A DIY yeast setup is cheaper and probably more effective.

Haven't used all 3, but I have used DIY and Excel together with good results in smaller tanks that didn't have a ton of light.
