Hi guys
I've been trying ........and failing for months and months to grow two large patches of giant vallis in my 6ft tanganyika display tank.My vision was two areas where the vallis would grow to the surface and add height and interest to the tank.
I have 2 gro beam 600s and 2 mini tiles hooked up to the 8 way controller. The lights can be moved anywhere on the tank. So I have complete control of lighting.
My ph is 8.2 / 8.4 kh 14 and gh 18 the tank is approximately 550l and I perform 220l per week water changes.The substrate is about 80% sand with some gravel mixed in.
I've placed root tabs under the plants and tried dosing ferts (lightly admittedly ) All that happens is the vallis slowly dies over a period of months.
I'd be eternally grateful if anyone can help me to achieve my goal of lush tall growth. This has me stumped I feel as If I've tried everything I can. It can't be impossible and I won't give up........ but I need help.
Many thanks in advance
