John Rimbauer Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 It didn't dissolve in my tank with pressurised CO2. It dis spread pretty quickly though, I ended up taking it all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I have injected C02 in my tank and val, it grows like a weed and I put a divider in the substrate to stop it taking over the whole tank. In the same tank I would dose 5ml Flourish Excel - the tank was only 64l with 70w MH lighting - no melting problem, but every tank is different, so it may be a case of trial and error.

kiwiplymouth Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I have to agree with Zev. In my tanks neither pressurized CO2 or Flourish excel have had any negative impact on my Val. Others will tell you the complete opposite so perhaps its a matter of the concentration of the above or the chemistry of the water that you grow them in. Trail and error is your best bet, using small doses at first and slowly adding more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
