Hi gang,
It's been a while since I've been active on this forum, and since I last had an octopus. If you go back several years you can find a journal of my mama-oct named Iris who had babies, with lots of photos!

My 75-gal tank (photos attached) has housed only fish and anemones for several years, but I'd like to prepare it for a bimac. I have a Teco chiller ready to go, but not fired up yet. The tank is currently at 76 degrees, and I plan to slowly bring it down to the high 60s over the next few weeks (open to suggestions on optimal temperature).
Question: I currently have a couple of EcoTech Vortech propeller pumps for water movement -- but they are completely incompatible with an octopus. What would you recommend to produce water movement, that won't be dangerous for an octo?
