Help on Vallisneria (tape grass)

yea. but um here is my prob. i got a whisper power filter 30 and that sponge black part thats inside of it is gone. and i cant return. so is there like a replacement part to it.

This kinda filter problem is the sponge replacement. I once have a different brand one, same like you, hard to find replacements. What I did is I bought this big white and black sponge filter meant for the overhead filters like Dolphin 800, then cut to size and put it in my filter. You could try that if you have exhausted all means. Thereafter it's like once the sponge cannot make it, I just throw and cut a new piece. Piece of cake, no more headaches.

no, it does not grow back. The half cut leave will be left to rot in the tank.
so wonder if u cuts cut at the very start of the leaf?

I noticed the same problem in my plant as well. Those leaves that grow too long, if trim mid-way will rot away. Initially thought it is only me. Glad to have a confirmation here.

Hi, can anyone confirm if the leaves are cut, the remaining leaves will rot? I'm thinking of giving my leaves a trim as it blocked out the lights but do not want to have rotting leaves in the end.

Yes they will rot. The solution to minimize this issue is to cut as close to the bulb as possible.
