Just to update everyone on Felix and Oscar. It has been three days since I divided my tank and put an octopus on each side. Both are small so at this point I don't think room is an issue.
They don't seem to be bothered by each other. Neither one is going up to the plexiglass which separates the two. There is a plastic mesh canvass in the center of the plexiglass to allow for water movement.
Oscar has been pretty active and Felix has made his presents known.
I put a couple of fiddler craps on each side and each side has a supply of snalls and hermits.
I'm still planning on getting another tank in a week or so. Keeping them in one tank is just a quick fix.
If I use live rock from an existing tank, sand from my reef tank and water from a water change to set up the new tank, do I need to let it cycle for three months? I could join the two octopus tanks together so the water flows between the two if it would be better to break in the new tank
