Absolutely Love the look of Jungle Val. I am curious how it would do in a 29g tank with 18w t8 and no dosing. The research I've done said low light should be fine but I've heard different from a few people who couldn't keep it in their tank of similar wpg. If indeed I can do it, would anybody like to sell me some? :)
 
I'm growing jungle vals in a 75g with only 60watts t12 and they keep spreading.
They of course dont grow as fast or as tall with the low lighting.
 
+1 They spread like mad, but they don't grow very tall very quickly. I've got some in a 29g with a couple CFLs and they're just reaching to the top now after probably a year in the tank.
 
in my other tank with 78 watts t5ho over 40gal tall tank they grow crazy reaching 24-28inches in 2 months. They are a very adaptable plant. just be careful when using flourish Excel. To much of it can cause the plant to melt.
