GSP growth - 10 weeks.

[Oldsalt01]

I decided to do a little experimenting when I trimmed back an GSP island that was trying to take over. Over the course of the last 10 weeks I have photo recorded the growth of the GSP starting with 5 small pieces I cut from the original rock. Week 1 is 7/10/18 with the original 5 pieces glued to a new rock, week 10 is 9/12/18. Please forgive the jerkiness and varied exposures, as I am getting used to a new camera, and unfortunately, was unable to leave the camera set-up, well, set up, permanently. I do think it shows just how aggressive this stuff can be when given room to expand. Hope this helps anyone out there who thinks they might want to get some GSP.

Such a pretty weed.

I put a few tiny pieces on a rock similar size. After a few months it looks almost the same. It spread a little, but polyps are short. I cannot grow GSP to save my life. Never had luck with it. Everything else is healthy and growing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
