    Is there a creature (thinking nudibranch or something) that eats GSP?

    If there is, I want one. My GSP is going to become a problem if I don't do something. It recently took some growth hormones (I guess) because it just took off.

    anything at all that will eat this or kill it? I tried putting a hammer LPS by it but that didn't do anything.

    I covered some of mine with reef putty. Worked like a charm.

    I'll be watching this thread. I need a solution too.

    i was once a total newb and ignorant. i put my gsp on a base foundation BIG rock... it'll be hell to remove it...

    i was thinking kalkpaste but reef putty is intriguing... is that just reef safe epoxy?

    I'm not exactly sure what it is. I ran out and don't have the package. I can tell you this much it comes in a cylindrical stock and you have to need the two active parts together. It dries into a hard concrete.

    If you can get at that big rock, use a scalpel or razor blade and simply cut away a good portion of the mat. Could be re-attached to another rock isolated or (seems a shame) throw it away. Maybe give to someone who wants them.

    I found the best way to stop it growing in your tank is to sell or trade it lol... good luck I have removed over 30lbs of liverock that was covered from A-Z with GSP I sold it to get new liverock as I figured it will inhibit the liverocks benificial filtering capabilities by smothering the surface area of the rock.
