Hi RainboW, glad I'm not the only one that has val problems :) I'm not sure if my val is the Americana variety - mine tends to get a bit 'melty' either halfway down the strand or at the base where they attach to the roots, then they tend to break off and end up floating around until I scoop them...

Hi guys and merry Christmas!   Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative to vallisneria - but something that looks similar?   I am looking for something tall and thin to plant out gaps along the rear of my tank and a few places on the sides - I like the look of vall and it always goes...

Not sure what kind of fish you have in here, but true Siamese algae eaters make a huge difference when it comes to algae control.   I had a big problem with black beard algae spreading everywhere. I was doing 50% water changes weekly as well as scraping off all the BBA that I could see and it...
