Your talking about flourish excel, which isn't actually liquid co2 its liquid carbon. I use it all the time in my smaller tanks. Depending on plants and fish be careful not to overdose. Some plants will handle large amounts of it but there are some that it can kill.
Excel actually needs to be dosed everyday and can get rather expensive. If the tank isn't to big you might be better off using a diy co2 on the tank. There are plenty of recipes on the net for this. And is really easy to set up.
If its a big tank, you would need to use pressurized as diy will have little effect.
