Hello everyone!
This is a continuation of my old thread The 6 Gallon Frogfish Tank a fluval edge I originally set up to condition baby fish before they went into my reef, it ended up housing a small frogfish but unfortunately I lost it to a bad ich outbreak. So I decided to take a different route, I want to create the perfect environment for my favorite invert. The Sea Apple!!
Specifications:
The new tank is an aqueon 20g tall, nothing special but it will never leak like a Red Sea will!
Temp: 76F
Filtration: HOB & Macroalgae
Heater: Eheim Jager
Powerhead: Sicce Voyager Nano (2000gph)
Lights: Steve’s LEDS (originally made for a Red Sea Max 130, powered by a Hurricane controller, you don’t see these often!
The tank as of 5/26/2024:
Set up process:
it started when I saw Corals Anonymous had a few Sea Apples in stock, they were on sale so I decided to order one, the next day it arrived, I went and opened it as soon as it arrived, here’s what was inside:
It kind of looks like a Sea Apple.. right? I didn’t have high hopes, I was ready to file a DOA but I saw movement in his tube feet, I figured he might just need some clean water so I decided to do a quick drip acclimation and into the 6 gallon he went!
Almost a week later he looks like this:
These animals are far more resilient than people give them credit for! As you can see, he’s still quite discolored and a bit wrinkly but I’m confident that he’ll make a full recovery.
The 2nd Sea Apple was purchased from my LFS a couple days after I received the first one. coincidentally it's the first Sea Apple they have gotten in years!
The majority of equipment and live rock are leftovers from previous projects, which is quite convenient not gonna lie!
Stay tuned for updates
