so i have been contemplating keeping a ceph for about 6 months now. I currently have a 125g aquarium with two fluval 404 filters, a seaclone skimmer, live sand and about 100 pounds of live rock. the tank has been up for about a year now and i have kept everything from clowns, anenomies, and lions, to a banded cat shark that did really well. I was wondering what would be the best octo for a tank and setup of this size and where i might go about finding it. Also if you have any ideas on how i could improve my setup it would be greatly appreciated. there is nothing worse than getting an amazing creature and not being able to take care of it. thanks

I like your attitude! :welcome:

Looks like you are well on your way. As for Octo for that environment, sounds like you have plenty of room. Probably anything smaller than a GPO would work alright.

Good luck!

Vulgaris????

Might be a wee bit small for an adult vulgaris. How about a briareus, or even a bimac.

thank you for the help. i have a question, right now i have a very large carpet anenome in my system. can i leave it in or will the octopus be stung. it sits in a far corner of the tank so if i build the den on the other side will this still be a problem. Also any ideas on where to get an octo i live in the bay area. I went to my LFS today and all they had was blue ring (very very bad idea) and im not interested. thanks

Zyan Silver has 80 Bimac's that need a home. Try him. He had them for a school project. They are three months old. I talked to his dad last night and they are ready to find homes for them. Good Luck.
