Good Morning All! - I have been considering glueing a cap frag to either my overflow box or back wall and would like some past experience suggestions/advice if this is smart, feasable & possible (glueing to glass)
Thanks in advance

I've seen it done before, and a coral will attach to glass on it's own given the opportunity.

If you don't want to glue it to the tank, you can glue it to a small magnet and place it where you want. Once the coral grows and attaches to the glass on it's own, frag the piece off the magnet and move it elsewhere to start a new colony.

The magnet is a good idea and I have seen some pics of MR members tanks w/ coral attached to the overflow. It seems like a good way to 'hide' the overflow w/o making a major project out of it. Attaching to glass has me worried since the glass is not a porous surface. I'm thinking the overflow works best - opinions?
