newbie need help with starting GSP tank

[Merry Goround]

Hi all,

Saw a bro's tank pic in this forum where the GSP fills up the whole back, and this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq5zIefxH3Q

May I know what equipment/items would be needed to do something like this? strong/weak lightings etc.

Do I need to dose like a normal reef tank? if its just GSP.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting concept, u probably dont need as strong lighting or clean water as an SPS tank. Dont think need to dose anything. GSP quite easy to grow.

u don't have to dose anything

jus have to cut one piece of GSP and stick it on the back wall of ur tank. the gsp will start spreading once it stablises=)

Hmm so don't need to dose anything.

My lighting currently is the maxspect glaive G4F I think, is it enough? or do I need to buy those lights for corals?

"The Glaive G4F for fish only and planted aquaria is endowed with 6000K white, 450nm blue, 520nm green and 620nm red LEDs"

What about feeding? was told don't need to feed at all. Just wanna double confirm.

Thanks for replies.

I guess it's best to use lights for corals? I'm using a par 38 light and GSP is spreading rather quickly. Nope u dont have to feed them

Although GSP does not need feeding, they can be sensitive to light, flow and water parameters. Make sure the water parameters are stable, then start with a small frag. If the GSP on the frag is spreading, you can stick a small piece to the back of the tank. If not, adjust your parameters until you see the frag is spreading first.
