Hi all,
I'm pretty much looking at getting a bimac for my first octopus, after reading the pros and cons of each species.
I recently bought a 56 gallon marineland tank, which is currently empty.
I have two questions, as I have never set up a tank of any sort.
Where can I find a list of all the equipment I will need? I did look on the forum but must have missed it if it is here. Based on what I've read, I need to set it up like a reef aquarium with a sump, skimmer and heater, but the differences are to have only live rock, and make sure the top is closed/locked.
My second question is in regards to light...I have the tank in my living room....and work from home so often have the light on....will this be an issue? I'm guessing I shouldn't use the fluorescent light that came with my tank...
Thank you...
