funny you should say that. Most people can't grow it with liquid co2 but i manage it every time. Maybe the 'Liquid Rock' we have coming out of the taps has a lot to do with it.

Vallis, it never grows for me, other aquarist tanks it does but never grows in my aquariums....

Something growing.![:]](./images/smilies/smile.gif "Smile")
Don't ask, I don't even know why it's growing ....trick of the light, maybe I'm dreaming? 
Update;
So since those last pictures 'Betty' the Bristlenose has demolished the Amazon Swords, despite me feeding her various vegetables and the Rubies finished off the Limnophila.
With a bare left hand side of the aquarium I started to transplant some Vallis and here's the results so far....

Think I know the reason why it's growing so well, the substrate.
Decaying leaf litter within the sand and gravel.

Please for forgive @plankton drooling, as he is often to be found down their local woods on all fours grazing on the leaf litter.
