bit mean knowingly letting it loose on the unexpecting newbie. Sort of the 'friends don't give friends GSP' thing.

Sell it. That's what I did. At first I thought I'd try to keep some on a little island on the sand, but then I got really sick of trimming it as it grew onto the sand. Sell all of your rock cheap to a reefer just starting out or doing a FOWLR tank, then get some base rock to replace it. That's what I would do anyway. And if you still like GSP, then keep it on it's own little island on the sand.

keeping mine semishaded in the sand.. but i keep finding random little patches here and there in the tank probably from little pieces that got away on long ago trimmings....

trying kalk on the hard to reach places and its slowing it down but not obliterating it.
