Bought two blue-ringed octopuses 2 days ago. I have 125 liter reef tank& Over-spec bubble magus curve A9 skimmer, live rock, BioGro bacteria supplement every week etc. Currently water quality is as follows: pH ~8,1, ammonia 0ppm, nitrite ~0,05-0,1 ppm (increased after introduction of octopuses), nitrate 5-10 ppm, salinity 1,025. Water temperature is 22,5 C(hope that it's not too high for these species, as I suppose they are more tropical ones).
Nitrite of 0,1 is a big concern for me, how long can they tolerate it ? Also, is pH 8,1 ok or its supposed to be 8,2 ?
As you can see on the video, one octopus crawled on the back of another, probably they try to breed(hope so)... After that one of them became always hidden in cave of live rock, another one is much more sociable, wandering in the tank during the day. I feed them with frozen shrimp, however recently I have bought severall camel shrimps and anemone crab for my babies
What do you think guys of my water specs ?
