GSP within a 10' radius of your tank?

I know there's a lot of corals people won't even let near there systems GSP being one of them. That being said, I personally, really like the look of the rear glass covered in GSP. What do you think?

Pretty evenly devided

It only spreads for the most part - unless there are other corals to block it with warefar. I had a large piece that kept growing downwards because the coral on either side would not allow it to grow - its simple to put it on an island though.

I really do like the looks of it, I'm torn if I'll have it in my new tank or not though

I have gsp in my tank and don’t regret it at all!

Three tanks all have some gsp. It the brightest color in the tank. You could say I like it

On the rocks

More on rocks

Back wall

All of it in those tanks came from this one when I tore it down

That awesome pop of color is what draws me in like a moth to flame

Each to his or her own. I like it and it has been in everyone one of my softy tanks.

I have a wall of gsp in my tank and I like the way that it looks, but I likely wouldn’t put it in a tank anymore.
I don’t regret having it, but I suspect at some point I’m going to.

I would if i wanted to but TBH green pipe organ gives almost the exact same aesthetic while also being easily removed.

I have never actually heard of it! I'll have to look into it. Does it pop colorwise the same way gsp does?

I had a softball sized rock covered with GSP and it looked great for months. It withered away and died for no apparent reason. I've tried twice since then with the same result, yet euphyllia, duncans, mushrooms, zoas, etc. all do very well in my tank.

i have my whole back glass covered in it and it really gives a sense of depth. I love it. But every week I do have to cut off the excess that's starting to block off the overflow and growing on the wrong sides. And every now and then a bit goes into my wavemaker and gets cut into dust but I've never noticed any ill effects.

Ou wouldn't happen to have a picture of it would you?

It was the only coral I could grow with my cheap petco lights way back when I had my first fiasco of a reef tank
