Vallisneria Spiralis Vallis

[sjolliff]

Iv got about 15 Vallisneria

Planted in sand with the crowns showing,

Im using TPN+ and EasyCarbon and iv got a FE CO2 system

CO2 on at 12PM, Lights at 2PM, CO2 off at 6PM Lights off at 8PM

How much ferts should i use for these plants, and/or any other care i need to know

Also at what level will CO2 affect the PH and will The CO2 affect the oxygen?

Should i ad an air stone to come on at 8AM till 11AM

just add the recommended amount of tpn+
the co2 injection will start lowering the ph as soon as it comes on, as a rough figure a ph drop of 1-1.3 is where you want to be, as long as the plants are growing fine then they will be adding oxygen, so dont worry about that.
you have a drop checker? this is the best way to gauge co2 levels.
an airstone after lights out is probably a good idea too.

ditch the easy carbo tho, vallis apparently does not like it!!

hmm I am hearing mixed thoguhts about easy carbo and vallis on this forum

all plants are fine with easy carbo if you stick with the recommended dose...its when you start pushing the dose higher than recommended that you get problems

many ppl on ukaps and other forums say to beware with vallis and "liquid carbon" also anacharis is another it will hurt.
