Re: Vallis help.
Is there a cycle to it, weekly, monthly, season? Not that I’ve worked out! If anything I suppose it could be seasonal. ::eh:: It's not getting enough continuous nutrients to the plants roots. Hmmmm, this wouldn’t apply to previous tank as that just had plain sand. But this tank has plant substrate....

Re: Ever feel guilty?

Re: Vallis help.
My vallis is a bit random - it always goes through stages of growing wildly out of control, then dies back, then goes wild again! I’ve never figured out what motivates it!
