Worth Liquid Ferting Valls?

[seantheprawn]

hi all i was wondering if it is worth it liquid ferting valls? like i know they are root absorbers, so would it actually do them any good putting liquid plant food into the water? or is it jst absolutely pointless, coz i cant find root tabs anywere.


cheers

o ok so me liquid ferting the tank was just a waste of time lol.

but im in australia, there all british prices.

also do those cheaper (4 pound) ones have the same affect as those really expensive ones(18 pound)?

Careful when fertilising with Vallis, it can get out of control.

I chop about a foot off my vallis every two weeks and have to pull out various new plants which have popped around the aquarium. I even stripped the majority of it out about 2 months ago and already it's nearly covered the substrate again.

Thats what i want ! ! lol, I want my tank to be a wild look, i will trim it when it gets really out of control,

What root tabs would you guys reccomend ?

Oh yea , sry if i am hijacking seans thread, but he know what he needs to buy anyway now !

I use liquid ferts only with a gravel substrate, moving to sand... when I get round to it.

i use liquid ferts alone in my tank and my vallis gets cut back every 2 weeks, and sends out loads of runners,
that need picking aswell
