![]() We have had one in our tank for around 8 months now with no issues. Nobody picks on it and we do not feed it anything special. It is very cool to watch it eat, but unfortunately, since we moved to our new tank, it has settled into an area near the back of the tank and we do not see him much. Next time I am messing in the tank I will try relocating him.

![]() If I get a chance I will move him tonight and take some pics after he settles in. He tends to go where he wants though so no guarantees!

how much piping do you have going through there? Thanks for those specs, very helpful.. Is that all you have for water movement? No other powerheads or anything with impellars? |

![]() I am pushing the water about 11 feet up from the sump in my basement to the tank on the main floor, and I have the flow throttled back somewhat. I almost had a wreck on the weekend when I noticed the tank was on verge of overflowing. I need to find a gate valve rather than the crappy ball valve I am using to properly regulate the flow. I would like to get the flow up to around 450 gph.
No other powerheads. Before he settled in, the sea apple would climb up the side of the tank and park himself next to the Koralia 3 with no ill affects. They have a fairly hard exterior, and I cannot see how they could get caught up in a Koralia, like my seahare (rip) did. |
