I have a 70G tank that I presently use to quarantine fish for my reef tank. I’ld like to convert this over to use for an octopus tank.
Presently doing research on keeping an octopus. I’m probably 6 months to a year away from making the plunge. I’ll be hear asking questions and learning.
I pretty much have the essentials on the tank - 50G sump, skimmer, etc.
I may drill the back of the tank to do a closed loop for some water flow. I would think that most powerheads would be very problematic - the same for running a closed loop over the back of the tank with pipes entering from above the aquarium.
I have access locally to a good food source of hermits and other crabs.
I also have a setup where I can economically cool the tank.
I’ld love to do a coolwater tank and do a Pacific coast octo, but it looks like these octopus might be hard to locate for someone in NC.
