	Melting valls
Falstaf Fish Addict Posts: 785 Kudos: 1211 Votes: 196 Registered: 12-Feb-2004	Hi there, If i ever was proud to grow a plant, valls where it! but today during water change i saw that most of my valls are melting!! i've never had a melt down not even with crypts! Nothing was changed or moved, no extra ferts or less. Do someone has any idea why they are doing these?

Possible that you have other heavy root plants also doing well and are choking out the Vals roots ? If the routine hasn't changed possibly it's competition from another plant which is now getting the upper hand. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Falstaf Fish Addict Posts: 785 Kudos: 1211 Votes: 196 Registered: 12-Feb-2004	The weird part of all this is that the tank has Valls planted in all the background and sides, and some even in the front right side, and there is melting everyhere. Here is a detail of the tank it's so weird i can't figure it out, it can be lack of ferts, they get their weekley dose of master grow and have been healthy and lush for over a year now. *Falstaf attached this image:*
