Any suggestions on how to get a big piece of gsp to stick on back wall? I tried glue 2x and both times fell
 
Glue gel is not holding it more than 2-3 days
 
Instead of sticking it on directly, id put it on a rock and put that rock right by the glass. Gsp will grow anywhere and everywhere.
Its a huge problem piece… about 1ft by 1ft… no rock that big will fit my tank
 
Tear some off of the big piece and glue it to a frag plug with superglue gel. Give the rest away.

I use magnetic single frag holders from eBay. Put the frag I. The holder, wait for it to grow onto the holder then the glass. After there is enough to get it going, break/tear off the holder. It leaves some of the coral on the glass and it will grow if you do your part.

Like this Valhalla, you can see it basing out across the plug. Once it gets a fair portion of base on the glass, I'll break the frag out and move it back to my frag system.

Be patient. Although with gsp's it shouldn't take long at all.

You didn't read but that's ok. You will never be able to wallpaper your tank. Maybe use 3 or four sealed magnets to pin them to the glass. You still lose polyps on the corners that way. But the edges may attach. Once it grows on, pull the magnets.
