Corals on back of tank glass.

[Tomb85]

Hi all, I've just stuck GSP on the back of my tank glass and I'm sticking a green plating montipora tomorrow. Who else has done this even with other corals?

I had GSP covering the entire back of my aquarium, until it overgrew itself on the top and started to fold over. I got mad at it and ripped it all off the wall.

I have many encrusters and a palawensis on my back wall.

I’m not a fan of things on the back wall. I think it distracts from the main rock work.

I prefer a clean, naked background. No coralline either.

I'm a neat freak and I do love my spotless black wall as I'm running a redsea 260 max E with sump. I like the look of corals on the back wall but not coraline so it will be interesting to see if I keep the GSP there or not.

I just tried this for the first time myself. I got tired of my coraline overflow being an eyesore and bulging out and not knowing what to do with it, so I got some leptos and glued the plugs on. I figure it will take a year before it’s covered really well. I might get some others and randomly place them and see what grows faster and what happens when they eventually meet up

 

[Tomb85]

I wonder if anyone's done it with some strange coral choices?

I have a volleyball sized Ultimate Efflo climbing up the back wall but I have never done it intentionally.

I like the back being clean but like to see people doing different things in their tanks

I have GSP and an acro colony growing on the back wall. The acro has a nice base but is growing outward rather than covering the back. I also have orange and green monticap growing on the back. I didn't place the monti on the back they are just getting so big they grow where ever they find room.

You can't even see the rock work with all that growth, Love it!

That coral looks lovely. My tanks been running 4 months now so not alot in it yet. I have 2 clowns, regal and salfin. I done a 2 month cycle with lights on for 1 month so not really had an ugly stage at all so I added papaya coral frag, GSP frag stuck on back glass and ive just stuck my green plating monti on back glass see how that goes. I also have a rose bubble tip anemone doing well. Just a slow game at the moment with adding things so everything stays happy.

Thanks. Everything is coming out of that tank to move to a new one. While I look forward to having the new tank running I'm not looking forward to moving everything. It's probably going to end up being a giant frag fest.

I have GSP, monties and chalices growing on the back wall. I think that it is a great place for encrusting corals and a natural way to go when running out of space on the rock work.
