| So I have a small 6 gal sps dominate tank and I unwisely put some GSP in there as one of my first corals. Well, they're now overgrown and starting to burn my sps corals. The rock there on is the base rock and if there's a good way to control them without having to take the rock, that'd be best. I tried taking a razor blade down Nd scraping the back, but that didn't work very well. Ideas? |

In my experience I've had to pull the rocks out and completely scrub the GSP away with a wire brush. It's really annoying, but may be the only way you can pull it off. ------------- 125g 90g 2x33g 34g What stores do I recommend?

sometimes with gsp you can take a razor blade and pull up an edge and then just peel it off the rock. I've been able to frag it before doing that. ------------- |
