GSP on back wall?

[aztoza]

Yay or nay?
Gsp is growing well in my tank, but am chickening out of putting it on the back wall. Anyone ever live to regret the decision? Is it easy or difficult to contain back there?

Its easy to remove if you end up not liking....

There are a lot of people who do GSP on the wall, and it looks great!

That's my plan when I launch. It grows quickly and is easily clipped back when required.

how do you do it? We have a piece of 2-3" rubble with GSP all over it...trying to lean it against hte back wall and it's not taking hold

Doesn't help that the hermits and snails keep moving the rubble around...

Super Glue the Rubble to the back glass, or glue string to the Rubble and suspend it. BTW from experience the Super Glue won’t permanently stick to the glass and will eventually loose its grip.

That's good to know. Thanks!

you can peel the GSP, "skin" and all, from the rock it's on and then super glue it to the glass. GSP "skin" will often be suspended standalone as it reaches to spread to a new surface, this is a good time to clip a free-standing section.

I mount a plug with glue on the glass.
Easy to manage

I just stuck a plug RIGHT up to the wall and it took hold and grew over the entirety of it.
To remove I just used a credit card scraper to get the edge up and it peeled off like vinyl.

Cool thanks! Just didn’t want a constant battle of keeping it off of side glass or return pump etc.

I love mine but when the nems go near it they will kill most of it as in my situation but its growing back so no big issue.
