Go for it Starfish.
Here's a planting tip for Vallisneria. Try not to bury the crown of the
plant below the substrate or the plant will rot. You should be able to see
the roots just above the gravel. These plants are good at Bicarbonate
feeding so you should'nt have to worry about co2, they're also quite
prolific so just buy a few and within a month they all should have sent
out
baby runners. Wait at least a month before severing the baby from the
mother
plant. Cheers and good luck.

i was thinking getting larger val and planting them in the "safe
planters".
In these planters i would put a layer of very fine gravel/course sand. As
an
anchor for the plants, i would use mesh just large enough for the val to
fit
in and tie with string underneath the mesh to act as a stopper to prevent
the val from being pulled up. The mesh would be the whole length and
width
of the planters which then would be weighted down with a few marbles or
equivallent and then covered with the fine gravel for a natural
appearance

Hi
Im thinking of replanting my tank (i didnt anchor my plants well and
the
goldies have had a go at them)

So here goes
I was thinking of getting one of those shallow rectangular planters,
you
know the type people use to plant things in and sit tem on the window
sill/ledge? The reason for this is that i dont have any gravel and the
window sill potter (make sure its made out of a safe materail) will be
hidden behind my shipwreck and quartz

Would this work....I was thinking of planting a background with jungle
(corkscrew) val. Do they grow quickly?

is there any other plant suggestions anyone might have???

Thankyou!!
