That's great to hear, JP! Thanks alot for sharing your experience. Hopefully the Excel will get it under control and I'll start getting some good growth again.

FAQ: Will Seachem Flourish Excel™ kill my Vals or will they adapt over time? – Knowledge Base SEACHEM.ZENDESK.COM We had received reports from several hobbyists who said that they had seen Vallisneria melt when Flourish Excel™ was used with them. We also had reports of them thriving with Flourish Excel™. Bec... As I stare at my bba covered plants/rocks/driftwood and then glance over at my relatively healthy vals, I weigh the risks. Keep the vals safe and watch the crypts slowly die out, or dose the liquid carbon and risk killing my precious vals. After reading this, I think I'm going for it. Good luck, Vals.

Charose, thanks so much! Great idea. I have those clamps. I’m trying it tonight. 🙏

Ole gruff Joel! Haha. Dude knows his stuff. Good recommendation. 🙏

All right so here is a silly thing to whine about but it’s really frustrated me for a long while. To actually try to get in the fluval spec V to do plant trimming I have to take the lid and light off (it’s a planted plus HLC)...then it’s dark in there...even with the overhead on. If I leave the light scooted over to the side, I’m paranoid it’ll fall in or fall out. I tried a headlamp but I’m worried that freaks my fish out. Geez, Idk what I want from you really? I don’t know. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Do you use a headlamp? Just ignore me. Haha I’d like a really step by step procedure video of someone trimming their plants. Ya got that somewhere in your saved videos?
