RAV-65 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi all, heard some time ago from somewhere ( cant remember where ) that some people actually stick their acros/staghorns on the side glass of the tank to give it a even wider look... Anyone doing that?? can share?? Quote People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan... Wat I do to prevent myself from tearing my hair out... My stress remedy...

SRC Member Bandit Posted February 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have heard of corals beign stuck to the rear glass, and a friend of mine has a stag growing on the glass when it encrusted to it after coming in contact with the glass due to normal growth. The best thing I have seen is live rock cut in half and stuck to the back glass with silicon to provide a look of greater depth... looks an absolute treat!

RAV-65 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Another problem comes to mind... any long term problems we may face?? Will the glass structure suffer any kind iof weakness??

SRC Member ervine Posted February 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2005 Another problem comes to mind... any long term problems we may face?? Will the glass structure suffer any kind iof weakness?? Hm.. will it? because the frag only grows on the surface of the glass and not bore down into it right?

SRC Member scarab Posted February 9, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2005 I'm seriously contemplating doing this.......maybe not only on the glass.....on power head also. Don't think there's any detrimental effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Well, I am thinking of glueing SPS onto my overflow box to camo it Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

robe Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I used to stick frags in my overflow and side glass by leaning an acro against it. Before you fill your tank with water. Sticjk some glass or pieces of plastic across the back wall or overflow so that you have ledges to epoxy your frags later. Right now I'm leaning my acro branches across the return water pipe so that it grows over it in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's any detrimental effect. Would the power head shake too much??? not healthy for SPS?? Quote People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...

SRC Member szesteve Posted March 1, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2005 I would not worry about any detrimental effects on the glass. The only worry would be if your frag becomes a huge colony and may be too heavy for the glass to handle(especially if you use thing glass).
