How to glue GSP to glass?!?!

[eqbal9947]

I've tried gorilla and polylab superglue, and coral concrete and it will not stick to my waterbox overflow.
I tried gluing substrate and then to glass, did not work. I tried gluing rock to glass, it did not work.
It will stick for a day and then ill find it in the sand.
any suggestions would be welcome!

I glue the Gsp to a magnet algae scraper and place the two magnets together

Im going to send you a PM of a question if you dont mind.

Frag at the base of a wall or somehow attached to a suction cup? It'll spread onto the glass on its own.

I always just put the gsp on a rock and then leaned the rock up against the glass and let it grow onto the glass. Once it starts up the glass you can cut the rock away from the rest if you want.

Get a magentic single frag plus, attach frag plug to glass, put GSP frag into frag plug and wait for it to attach itself...remove plug after ample time.

Literally just put one up today from my aquasd shipment

Find the spot on the overflow you’re going to use. SCRATCH it with a knife or something. Make sure to dry the backside of the frag before putting the glue on and hold the frag in place for a few minutes. The ideal situation is to glue it to coraline algae.

I placed my rock against the glass and they naturally grew up the side. Be careful though cause they don't actually stick to the glass very well.

This is what I ended up doing.
Thanks for the advice everyone!

It worked well for me. My gsp is now about 18 inches tall by 3 feet long on my back glass

When I had gsp growing up the back wall, did the same thing…

It’s the easiest way IMO. I was originally going to try using a magnetic frag plug but my tank is close enough to the wall that it’s nearly impossible to get the magnet behind the tank.

Here an old picture. I do like the way a back wall of gsp looks.
I don’t know how well it adheres to the back glass since I’ve never tried to pull any off, but I’ve never had an issue with it falling off
