Is it possible?

Ok heres my question: Is it possible to grow coral on the sides of your tank? like on the glass

 

It possible with the right conditions... I am sure you could even manually stick them there with superglue gel or something. I think the other question is why? lol

 

well yea know how if you get a deep tank and you put live rock on the bottom instead of building up why not build up on the sides and keep a big open space in the middle.. I dont know if you get it or not but make it like a " U " built on the sides and bottoms ... idk it seemed like a cool idea

 

It is, and a lot of times you don't have to glue them. I know from experience pulsating xenia and GSP's will grow right up the glass all on their own

 

Ive got GSP up the glass and it's kind of annoying TBH. In the new plywood tank i probably wont mind though.

 

Ive got blue mushrooms growing on my glass

 

I have placed waving hand anthelia on both my overflow boxes and it is growing in nicely. I think it is cool to sit and watch them wave versus looking at the black boxes! I frag bits of it off when it gets near my drain. Otherwise it is growing on the sides and down the box completly.

I wanted to place star polyps on it but for some reason my stars dont grow well in this tank.

Anything that grows in a mat form I would think would grow nicely on the glass

 

I am going to go for GSP on my back glass here in the next several months. Glue and go. Just start off with a little part of the mat and it will take off.

 

my xenia finally started pulsing. i think i'm going to try to get mine to grow up the front corner of my tank.

 

Many species of soft coral will grow on tank glass. They also make magnets to attach frags to the glass!
