Getting ric to grow on rubble

[zachfishman]

I have a beautiful purple/pink ric that is attached to some small pieces of sand/shell/etc. The pieces are too light to leave the ric anywhere in my tank, as it eventually floats off. I've been trying to get it to attach to something bigger/heavier by placing it in a cup at the bottom the my tank filled with large rubble. It's been over a month now, and no dice.

Any recommendations? I'd like to finally get the glass cup out of my tank.

Just superglue it to a piece of rubble. Get some superglue gel and put a big gob on piece of rubble or rock and then glue the gravel that it is growing on to the rubble. As long as there are a few pieces of gravel on the bottom of it the glue will stick just fine... I just did 75 of them that way.

Good, I'll give it a shot this week. Do you think I could slice the ric down the middle with a razor blade? It's been in a perpetual state of suspended division since I bought it. There's only one mouth though, right in the middle of where the axis of division looks to be in the pic.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to actually seeing it in the tank rather than it being obscured by the algae-covered glass. :lmao:
