Let GSP grow on the back wall?
 

It's a pain to keep the back wall of the tank clean, so I was thinking of trying to get my GSP to grow on it. Discuss.

Depends on what you are keeping as well. I mostly have SPS and GSP will actually sting and kill it. So in my case no don't want to risk it. It does though make for a nice display in a softie/ LPS tank.

I've been trying to get it on my overflows boxes and return nozzles.

As for SPS and GSP, I've got some GSP growing through my monti plate and doesn't seem to bother it (though have been removing more for looks).

I attacked and removed all of the GSP that was taking over my tank. I had it growing all the way up the aragacrete rockwall surrounding my overflow. It was spreading out onto the rocks and starting to smother my other corals. I moved a few pieces of the LR that was heavily covered with it into my 50 gallon tank, but the rest got scraped, picked, scrubbed and killed off.

Under intense lighting, it is just another pest. I have minimal light on my 50 gallon and the GSP is growing much less agressively in there. Plus I have a large scarlet hermit crab that helps keep it it check by snacking on it from time to time.

pulled it off in mats and SG it to my wavebox , looks pretty cool. Can be a pain in the *** if it gets on rock nehind off the glass. Hard to control if it makes it to you liverock.

How it looked about 5 months ago.

What it looked like two weeks ago just before I pulled out the colonies and fraged them.

It basically kept spreding and chocking out the digis it was growing on.

took my gsp out my display and moved into my frag tank. gonna glue it to the glass

luckily my gsp isnt spreading too fast. my xenia on the otherhand...

the xenia is growing up the back wall, and it's a pain to keep it in line. id love the gsp to grow up the back, but it wont move over! maybe ill snip some off and glue it and see how it goes.

I have a large gsp rock at the back of my tank that's just starting to grow on the glass. I think it'll look cool if it grows all over the back of the glass.

Can someone clarify what GSP is?
