Hello everyone.
First time posting here. Let me apologize in advance for the length of this post. After some serious research (6+months) and even more serious consideration,I've become a member of the "Cephalopod club".
I'm the proud new papa of a O.Vulgaris. He/she is roughly 6" outstreched. Everything I've read made me want a bimac but I saw this little guy at my LFS and fell in love.
I've been in SW for going on 3 years now (2 reef and a FOWLER) and sucessfully raised several of the "more demanding" species (anemones,mandrins,hippos,even kept a moorish idol for a year before selling him). I consider myself "up to speed on maintaining tank paramiters.
I guess what I'm looking for are any little tips that might make my little mans life more enjoyable. He currently resides in a 50 breeder (for now) with about 10bs LR (will be adding more)and 25lbs LS. My filtration is a Magnum 350 canister running carbon and fiber sleeve. I've read that I should have a skimmer in case of inking. To be honest,he inked twice the first day and my filter had the water cleared in less than 2 minutes so,I'm holding off for now.
Oh-I almost forgot I'm having a hard time coming up with a name so HELP!!!!!
