I did research on this speciesfor 4+ months before I setup the tank. I know there life expectancy and this particular species (O. Briareus) has a life expectancy of up to 2 1/2 with an average of 1 1/2 years. I have kept octupus in the past I have kept mimic octopus and common octupus before. I...

Well I made a request for him to go catch one on friday when I got the tank setup and he had one within 24 hours where as I thought it would take him at least a week.

He has a very large vat of seawater and he has water from the ocean continually pumping in with Tupperware contain

I do have quite a large critter keeper it about 11"x8.5"x8" and the octopus is extremely small.

Unfortunately no and I'm buying directly from the collector which means its gonna be cooped up in a small disposable Tupperware until it is shipped out.

I do have a sump but I was thinking that I could maybe put him in one of those plastic critter keepers putting a rubber band around it so he can't open the little door on top and and putting a couple pieces of live rock in it and setting it on the sand bed in my DT.

Yes it's a mixed reef lots of fish corals anemones and inverts. This octopuses head is about the size of a dime don't know if that changes anything

I should also mention his tank is already setup but I have yet to fill and cycle it and I am receiving him in two days.

Could I keep a very small 9 week old Caribbean Reef Octopus in my reef tank for a short period of time until I get his tank setup or am I going to have to keep it in a submerged container with small holes drilled in it until I get his tank setup.

I believe that two half sized skimmers would be just as efficient as one full sized skimmer because they are both pulling in the same water and processing in the same way as the full sized skimmer the full sized skimmer can just do it faster but if 1 of the half sized skimmers is pulling out...

I am currently planning on adding a 150 gallon Rubbermaid horse trough to my 75 gallon system with a large sump that holds around 30 gallons of water. My sump already has a refugium that holds around 5 or so gallons of water and I have a skimmer that easily handles my current amount of stock and...

Already got mine in my tank and made a short video on YouTube just search echidna Nocturna Ive had mine for 2 weeks no and this thing is freakin sweet it's so active it's out almost all day and when its hungry it will swim up at the surface

I would get an orchid or neon Dottyback or even springerii if you can afford it.

So hears the deal I have a 75 reef (Yes I know this is the FOWLR section of the forum but I know this was a better suited question for you guys) I currently have on 16-18" snowflake eel he is very well behaved and I have had it for 6 months now the worst he's ever done is flipped hermit crabs on...

Bump one more time.

Bump bump

Hey guys I know this is uncharted turf I'm on here but on LiveAquaria yesterday an eel called well read the title don't want to write it again came on to the divers den section and well as far as I know it's never been kept in captivity I mean I'm sure it has but it must not be that common I...

Not sure how my heater got unplugged but I got the temp back up and overfed him and he is looking much better now he only has the ich on his fins and even his fins are starting to clear up.

Just found out I had a 5 degree temp drop because my heater was unplugged could that have caused it? Please keep in mind I do not plan on removing the ich from my system completely I just need to keep this fish alive.

I don't know if I can he is very shy and usually only comes out when I'm at least 5 foot from the tank I'm almost positive now it's ich though so I decided the healthiest thing to do was spot feed him until he was fatter than your average bear usually. Aren't ich deaths due to to stress from...

K I'll try to get a pic.

That's true. I don't think thats it because I have reef sand not oolite sand but the same thing used to happen to my mandarins In my forty breeders because they wood lodge them selves under the rocks at night to sleep and I had oolite sand. Next time I won't be as specific.

Midas will be fine with your goby shrimp pair.

Oh come on no one?

I recently purchased a pair of small BJTs they are residing in a 75 reef tank both fish are eating well and aren't shy. My male is covered in what may be ich but looks more noticeable than your standard ich the spots are much bigger. The female has it too but once my halides come on it starts to...
