idea for back of tank hmmmmm

[zoalover34]

so i was thinking how alot of people paint their tanks or tape up that black/blue stuff.. has anyone ever seen a tank with the whole back wall covered in gsp? im thinking about cutting some off of my rock that's its on and getting it to stick on the back glass.. it grows pretty fast so it should cover the back of the tank in less than a yr lol.. i think it would look neat anyways anyone ever seen anything like this? also was thinking about putting my pom-pom xenia on each sides then the only glass i would have to clean would be the front lol.. just think looking into a tank with the back totally covered in gsp and both sides in pom pom just pulsing away.. wow that's awsome! im gonna try it! ive read about magnet frag plugs that you can use to get stuff started on the glass does anyone know where to get em? i don't think super glue gel will dry under water will it? wish i knew how to use photoshop i would do a tank like what i just said to see how it would look..

I read about this on nano-reef before...Then again I think the tank was a 2.5gal pico!
Good luck with it I'm sure it will look AWESOME

It seems to be a part of the recent server issues...posts from after the major issues have been deleted.

hey lorna what ever happens to the pics ??

 

[Lorna]

I haven't taken any yet.......so far the pieces I glued to the back haven't extended their polyps yet. I have noticed my crazy bi-color blenny nibbling away......I hope it hasn't eaten them. If they don't come out by the weekend I am going to peel some more off and glue some more......I have a huge rock just covered in gsp so I have lots to peel from.......

gsp = green star polyps. why dont we type the whole thing? we're lazy

 

[di0nysus]

green star polyps... makes sense

 

[Lorna]

a question from the ranks of the text message generation.....funny.....

update... The superglue gel didn't hold the first time. I took some more and glued some more.......still no polyp extension

 

[TRe]

green star polyps... makes sense

all the abbreviations make sense once you realize what everything stands for

GSPs can be cranky for up to a week after fragging, apparently. They'll probably come out in time.

GSP can also mean green spotted puffer, if you're talking brackish

 

[YahooFishKeeper]

just going to say that lotus. its usually the first thing thatcomes to mind before i realise people are talking about corals.

personally, i think GSP on the glass would look pretty cool. i dont know about the whole back wall, but i think some would look neat.

 

[di0nysus]

yea, you have to post up some pictures of your project and how it comming along.

 

[Lorna]

I will do once they open up.....one side of the back wall is pretty covered in coraline and I placed this higher up on the other side
