green star polyps on back of tank

[disney95]

what is the best way to get my green star polyps to grow on my back wall

Good question, I purchased some yesterday and was here looking for that exact information.

You need to peel off a piece of the GSP and then just super glue them to the back wall.

I had placed a rock with GSP on my closed loop pipe and it transfered on the back glass.

I am considering trying the superglue idea. Should be fun.

 

[disney95]

i just glued a dime size to my back wall.

Is there picture of how this will look?

 

[Jonnyhot]

I might try it too

This is a part of my back wall GSP. The GSP is 14x7 now.

Try putting several small pieces in scattered places, so they can grow towards each other.

It don't take them long to take the whole back.

That's what I did. Works great as long as nothing else touches it.

I love what I have seen so far. I may start cutting and gluing soon. Anyone have picture of tanks with large areas of the backwall covered by star polyps?

 

[Green0j0s]

Do they eventually cover the whole back and then rocks near it?

I put a small piece on my back wall and its now about 2"x2" thinking about peeling the large colony off a rock that's about 8"x6" and sticking that on the back wall.

I love the wall look with GSP, i just superglued it as well. Ive also heard of bare bottem tanks with just GSP. That would be a sight to see.

I personally would try to use as little super glue as possible so that it doesn't harm the system... I have placed star polyps on all types of surfaces and I have noticed that what works best (for me) is to cut a piece of the mat and super glue that piece to a frag... then take the frag and spread a bit of apoxy or glue on the small round bottom of the frag plug... then stick and hold for a few seconds until stable....... ive found that this method not only exposes the polyps to more passing water but in time, it overgrows and forms a pretty nice bell shape before spreading into a nice green lawn..... a grassy knoll if you will :bounce3::bounce2::bounce1: :ape:
