Vals melt with the use of flourish excel if you were using that. Liquid co2 source. Also other companies make it also. But yeah it'll melt them down to the ground in about a day.

Oops, I quoted the wrong person. I was trying to address the guy who had the val melt

I've never tried them, but you've got me thinking about it. They look so nice I just assumed they required expensive tricks to keep alive. So far I've succeeded with hornwort, guppy grass, water lettuce, locally collected elodea, and some kind of amazon sword. Those are basically all the plants that will be alive after China nukes us, so I don't consider myself a green thumb just yet. But maybe a little potted val is in the future.
