It will encrust in no time!
I hope it does!
Last time I had GSP, both frags took months to grow and I struggled to keep it alive in my RS Max Nano.

The first few polyps are opening!
I have a filtered and unfiltered photo for the idea of how green they are. I’d love some blue coral ideas, so far I’ve got a Blueberry Gorg on the list.

It may be branching, it’s not got anything under it that it was encrusting over, it’s just a hollow bit of GSP.
And in the photo you can see the raises where it seems it goes up and down.

Well, I never thought I’d use mesh that I use for my tanks’ lids as a help in plants haha. Please ignore the fact the ‘pole’ looks… odd, I scrunch my mesh up to get it back in the tube.

Have you guys ever used something you use in the SW hobby for another hobby?

I use old tank water to try to kill weeds in the driveway. Not another hobby though.
I do that… Although at the same time I accidentally killed grass.

I make RODI water for my mom’s African violet collection. I also use my RODI water on my freshwater tank.
I never thought of using RO/DI on my plants, every week I tend to have just a small portion of water left in the container that gets thrown out so maybe I’ll save it next time :)

here are all my FTSs I’ve found of this tank for anyone interested in seeing it’s progression (Dates can be seen in the corner of each photo going DD/MM/YY).

By the way, they are in chronological order just for your ease :)
I love seeing the way my tank has grown as it just makes me realise how much can change in a short period of time!

Took me a beat to figure out what the 30th month was. Then I remembered d-m-y

I love GSP! I just don’t have space for my big rock and it outshines everything else. Quite literally. I think it glows more than my lights:

I've got a Hulk Lepto like that. Can't take a picture anywhere near it or everything is just a green blur.
