I have a sunset monti on my back overflow.

Why not cut a piece of black acrylic to size and go with your original "encrusting monti" plan? That way it wont damage the back wall.

+1, and you will get to keep your coral. Although, you may have to redo your rock and what not to put the acrylic in place.

That's why I was thinking of an encrusting monti

oops you did say encrusting didn't you...lol I agree though it will take over the entire back wall and you will never get it off if you need to. I have a sunset on a round rock and I will never let it touch the glass or any other piece of rock. Once they take off, there is no stopping them.

Nice looking picture Rossco - I see you have GSP on there too...almost my whole top half of my back wall has GSP. I would totally prefer the sunset though!

i scrape encrusting montys off the glass of my 125 aga all the time with a fresh razor. makes for almost instant encrusting action on the plugs and the glue bonds great to the uniform flatness of the coral.acrilic would scrape all up but glass workes great.just my 2cents.

hmm, thanks deep blue. I have a monti cap that has grown up my back wall from the bottom, looks like a 10" fan on the back wall now. I snap off any protrusions that it grows out into the tank. I was wondering if I was ever going to be able to get it off the back wall... eh whatever, its just idaho grape anyway, stuff is like a weed...
