    I actually have a question for you
    Not meaning to hyjack this thread.
    But do you ever have any problems with salt creap since you have a bubble stone in your aquarium?

    Also, there is a thread where someone attached GSP's to a hermit somewhere on the forums.
    I always thought it would be cool to do something like this, But i would like to try it with Anthelia, or Xenia

    hahaha that's our "frag tank". It's bright yellow GSP, and originally was only on the front of the barrel of the toy army tank, where it looked like the tank was firing. Now it's covering half the tank ::) And our 6 line sleeps in the tank...

    I've seen overflows covered in GSP. It looked interesting.

    The tank now:

    Finding out that the six-line wrasse was sleeping inside the tank was pretty neat! :)

    Thanks & yea its mine its changed alot since in made that vid
    I only had that stone in their for a few days as I was messing around with my levels , so I didnt run it long enough to cause salt creap.
    I had it every where I realy cut it back and sold alot to clean out my tank to make room for new corals
    I was refurring to the standard A4 paper size , I scraped it all of in one peice with a razor (its so much easyier to remove from the glass then rocks)

    I have still my original collony but the most of what is in that vid has been sold or swapped , the biggest problem I had was the rate of growth it would completly cover a rock in a month and I realized that this was indeed a negitive positive as it was covering up all of the rocks and therefor hindering my biofiltration through the live rock.
    Im much more happy when its on the glass now days :)
