GSP containment

[Aardvark1134]

I see a lot of people with GSP on the back wall. How do you keep it just on the back wall? When it gets to the edge can you just hit it with an algae scraper or would the little bits seed them self all over your tank if you did that?

I´m interested in this as well. I don´t have GSP because I´m afraid I can´t control them afterwards

I am willing to give it the whole back wall...but only if I can keep it just on the back wall.

As long as you island it and maintain the growth every 4mos its not as invasive as people say lol. Just dont put it on your rockscape if you dont want it spreading there.

But how do I keep it from making the turn and getting on the side walls? Can you just scrape the part near the corner or will all the little pieces float to a new part of the tank and take root?

GSP is incrusting and VERY EASY to remove from glass only rock its difficult to remove it off. No real way to stop it from spreading to the sides you just need to take a razor and scrape it

thanks!

thanks!

No problem when you scrape it use a razor blade and no peices should fall off and root elsewhere in your tank. Its very peelabale lol.

I just cut with the blade in A line where I want to stop- then scrape starting form the edge and stopping at the line I cut. Comes off in one piece- which usually gets given away lol.
Good luck!

I keep it on a separate rock that doesn't touch anything else. The rock is behind the paly rock, also separate!
