It's a LOVELY thing to have but when/IF you get some keep in mind it's a VERY aggressive grower. That's how it survives in the wild by growing and over taking real estate in the ocean quicker than most others. If you add it to your tank keep it on something that you can easily move or remove. Don't put it onto the Awesomely HUGE and expensive prized rock. If it were to take off growing like crazy (and it will) you don't want it to over take the Centerpiece of your tank.

BigAl is right you need to keep it isolated.

hey al! yeah i have seen all the pics of it growing on the back of tanks and it looks amazing! what if i were to start it there and just keep it trimmed or whatever to the back wall? what do you think?

XBwlr · 11-12-2007, 10:39 AM

That would work.
Then what you trim you could frag and sell.

Bwlr is exactly right. I know someone locally who is currently attempting that as well. Once I get my 90g Up & Running I'm planning to do exactly that in my Frag Tank. That and Xenia on the back glass.

Take pics and let us know how it's going.
