Anyone here ever do/try a GSP wall?

I know this stuff ussually grows like a weed and people start to not like it but I have heard people talking about putting it on the rear wall. I even found a couple pictures but can't find anyone now who has it like that.

I'm starting an encrusting montipora wall on my overflow. It can definitely be done.

you see it a lot, when I could grow GSP (I cant anymore because of low nutrients I think) I had a nice size mat of it on my glass. I just put a little frag against the wall and it grew straight up it made a 12"x6" mat in about 6 months

Well I was pondering the idea of it and just wondered who else had tried it

I had tried to grow it on one of my overflows, but it got outcompeted by hairy mushrooms.

is your overflow plastic or glass? i was thinking of doing gsp on one side and motipora spongodes on the other side, both green but totally different creatures

Exactly what I'm doing.

Sticks better to glass than plastic IME. Bit like silicone :lol:

About 10 years ago I had a 150 gallon that was running for years with GSP covering the whole back that was 5ft long x 30" High. This tank was one of the best setups I ever had. GSP looked great on back wall but I needed to consistently use a toothbrush in the overflow slots as the GSP would grow over the opening and tank water would rise and cause a potential flood. I would do it again though!

I had anthelia on a rock that I tied onto a plastic over the door hanger from wally world and it worked great. I was able to take it out and trim as needed.

I have it covering my overflow box and starting to cover the back glass of my tank

I know someone who put it on a 3d background with some anthelia. Looked amazing. Sadly the tank crashed during a power outage. He fed it reef chili to make it spread all over the 48" background within a year. High nutrient levels were key to fast/ successful/ colorful growth. I personally like the metallic gsp better than the normal. Just my .02

Well I think in a couple of weeks I'm gonna get some and try it.
