GSP on back glass yes or no

[Kingpin616]

I have sort of a two island aquascaping the center is open to the back and I was thinking GSP would look better than coraline. Opinions/ pictures welcome

I think gsp looks cool on the back of a tank.

I am currently trying to get my gsp to grow on the back wall!

How would you get it to stick? 1 dot of superglue gel?

 

[jflick345]

I've thought about doing that too. There's a tank at Aquatic Tech that has it growing on the back and it looks pretty cool.

I am trying this right now. I used super glue gel and it works on small pieces. I had a few larger pieces fall off the glass though

Gsp

Gsp

I have a large patch growing on my back wall of my 28 gal nano. It it now growing through the spill gate and onto the sump. If you do not mind it getting out of control as some point then go for it, but it is like a weed.

I have pocillopora growing on the back glass in my biocube.

if you put some gsp by the bottom back corner it will grow up that wall i dont think superglue is necessary but be careful it could get out of control.

I have GSP on almost the entire back of my 45g. As stated above, no need to use superglue, just lean some existing GSP against the side you want it to grow on and it will!

I will say, however, that my GSP has completely taken over my entire tank. Most all the back wall, onto the sides a bit (I try to keep it in check by scraping off), covering over 1/2 my live rock, killed off a frogspawn by encrusting it, growing onto a closed brain coral, etc.

Be warned, looks cool but grows and spreads like a weed!

I know this varies in each tank, but how long did this take to cover the back of your 45?

I think it looks cool but keep it away from overflows, pumps, and rocks.

it dont spead like xenia or kenya trees it spreads like any other zoa would just make sure no corals are close where you want it to spread to, you can see when it speads so it can be control just pay attention this pic is a 8 month old gsp and all I do is take a razor blade and take frags off when it starts to spread

I will never add it to my tank again. I treat it like algea throw it away.
