Default GSP wall?

I was debating if I should glue my GSP to the back of my glass to let it slowly form a complete back wall. Anyone here done this with success? Post ur FRS if u did =)

My gsp has spread and attached itself to the back of my tank glass. No pics ATM, but I love how it looks. Not sure how gluing would work, I'd be cautious with snails.

I super glued mine to the back, both to the acrylic overflow and the glass. No issues. Snails go on it all the time as well (no worry when it was glued as the glue is cured long before they get a chance to get near it)
Id like it to cover most of the entire back if I can, one day

This was it when I glued pieces in... August/September. 2nd pic is what its like now.

I was trying to find my 2001 tank but cant find it. Anyways, it had two large corner angle overflows and both were covered in gsp. One side was so thick in layers, a pair of chromis used it as a home and layed eggs in it..I just started it by putting the colony close to the glass and away it went.

I tried gluing GSP to the back glass several times but it fell off every time after a few days. I think it helps if you have some coraline on the glass first. Gave up on the GSP in my case, didn't stick even with grungy glass, but I have some fast spreading brown zoas or palys that have started a colony on the back glass. They simply spread there on their own from the rock work close by with no human intervention a-tall.

Just keep in mind its going to try to spread to the rock and kill everything in its path.
