hi all, ive been wanting a cuttle fish or octopus for a long time and my LFS got in some dwarf cuttle eggs and there hatching, right now i have a saltwater nano tank(its an 8g biocube)and whant set to set up a 10g to raise afew cuttles in net breeders then give each there own 10g(or 20g)tank, i was planning on useing some dead sand, afew pounds of live rock from my 8g plus some dead base rock and some macro algea and mabie some water my 8g too, if i do it that way how long untile i can add the cuttles?, sence iam useing well aged and dead rock there shouldent be a nitrite/nitrate spike right? and sence the cuttles will be so small not mutch bioload, i will keep them in the 10g wile i get new live rock and start up there 20g tanks untile they cycle, and do i realy need a skimmer? ive never used one before if i just do a weekly(or bi wekkly) WC and have a couple HOB filters(changed often)will that be enough?
sorry for the long post i just dont whant to do anything wrong sence ive never kept anything like cuttles before
