Hello.
I've had saltwater tanks for about 3 years now and have always wanted an octopus or cuttlefish but resisted due to the fact that they are so difficult to successfully keep in captivity. However, now that I'm getting bored with fish, invertebrates and corals, the temptation is rearing its head again. I was thinking of converting my 46 gallon bowfront into a specimen tank for an octopus as I can easily relocated all its inhabitants into my 92 gallon corner tank. The only downside is the 46 gallon isn't reef ready so all the equipment is hanging over the side (canister filter, HOB skimmer, heater, powerheads, etc.)
Is there any way to totally enclose and "escape proof" a bow-front tank that will be running a skimmer and canister filter? I've thought about adding a fourth tank but I really don't look forward to that option.... 3 is time-consuming enough.
I will be spending a lot of time here reading and researching and all thoughts, comments and suggestions will be very welcomed. Thanks for being here.
