    what you should do is take out your sand and replace it with polyboard(cuttingboard). and let them grow on there, think of your nice lawn of gsp

    Like any other weed, it will gradually take over the majority of the tank. Don't let it get a foothold on your rock.

    LoL sost I don't think so. Although that's actually a kind of cool idea, too.

    Ship I haven't done it yet. That's a pic of someone else's overflow. They super glued some GSP to the bottom and let it go to town.

    Ray, I know. I have lots of GSP because of that. But I don't mind it so much. I did have a problem once with it growing up one of my kenya trees! But it simply peeled right off.

    We have bright yellow star polyps that I just fragged. Green is so boring ::) It makes me want to buy one of those aquarium skulls and give it a mohawk.
