I’m trying to get GSP to grow on the back glass in my tank. I’m using reef glue and I’m having a problem getting it to stay on more than a day or 2. I had it stay awhile once but my urchin eventually knocked it off. Any tips or should I give up? When it falls it’s been hard to get to which also is a pain

its easy (just kidding on the easy part) make a magnetically attached floating peninsula and let it spread

from the rock to the glass, then move the rock, rinse and repeat

That’s the method I’m on now lol seems to be working
It's worked well for me. I'm considering cutting the rock free and moving it down the tank a little so it starts in another spot. I still have a very long way to go but I'm off to a good start.

You need to rough the glass up, then glue it, once it starts it will stick on it's own.
