Here are a few with him against the glass.

He is well camoflaged with the live rock. I circled him in yellow to make it easier to see.

Part of my Christmas was a new octopus tank. The octo arrived yesterday, but was happy to come out when I got home from work for some pictures. :jumping: Any suggestions for a name?

I'd be interested in the ric if you don't end up trading with crazy4reefs. I'm also interested in the devil's hand. What are you looking for in trade?

Jimmy, Sounds good to me. I think you'd be fine with adding a blenny or goby if you are doing a sand bedding. I would skip the UV sterilizer, or at least get the skimmer first and save for the sterilizer instead. Good luck! Mike

Anyone else??

Originally Posted by Fixed Other than the initial cost, is there any downside to a larger tank? Keep in mind the weight. Are you in an apartment or planning to put it on a second floor? I'd also say water changes (as joker said) and top offs for evaporation would be more time consuming.

I swear I've read on another tread that it is recommended to do a fresh water dip of 5-10 minutes for new LR just to get any pests (i.e. mantis) out. I received 45 pounds of LR in the mail today and I'm about to start curing it in a trash can. Can anyone else tell me if they think this is a...

Originally Posted by Yimmy I want to have the clowns be a mated pair, so do I have to introduce them at the same time? I am also planning on putting in the blenny and a royal gramma should these be introduced first becuase they're less territorial? Yimmy - You MUST cycle the QT before you can...

It has a filter that I've been told needs to be replaced very frequently. If you can't afford a decent RO unit I'd just buy it from your grocery store for now. You get what you pay for.

I've heard that thing is garbage. Also, you aren't supposed to post other websites on the boards.

It isn't a bad idea, but I read that only 10% of hobbyists actually use one. Are you suggesting purchasing a quarantine tank and fish now to quarantine while you wait for your tank that is on order? You realize that a QT will need to cycle just like any other tank, right?

That is a great LFS with very knowledgable people. Shop around though as their prices on hard goods are pretty steep. Another good LFS is About the Reef off the 101 and 202 intersection. I'm not sure you'll need the UV sterilizer. I'd save the money and buy a good skimmer. If you just ordered...

Jimmy, Were in Arizona are you from? If you're from the Phoenix area what LFS are you going to? I wouldn't recommend shrimp with a Hawaiian spotted puffer. The one I had would have nipped at them and likely killed them. Hermit crabs would be better suited since they have more protection. I'm...
