First of all before i start my question ranti would like to say hello to all TONMO members. you guys hve been a very very big help for about a month now on my newly discovered Cuttlefish OBSESSION.
I just activated my account 10 minutes ago and have been wondernig for about a week why i have to donate to post. but i just havent checked my emails
so here are my questions and equipment/tank choices
ok so cuttles are ordered
3,000 copepods comnig in and setting up a 2.5g culture for them with phytoplanktn and ZoePlankton from precision aquatics is shipped. (any input on culturing them would be GREAT, never done it and taking a risk here)
will the live on copepods and live brine shrimp til i can weenthem to live mysis? *EDIT* if they cant is there anything i can gut load the brine with or copepods with? (selcon, salipura, anything?)
theres no real way for me to obtain and keep alive live mysis shrimp.
i have a good feeling i can ween them onto frozen foods pretty quick snice i always do (a few mandarins and scooter blennies, seahorses)
i have a 46 g bowfront and a 30g tall, which would be better?
30 g tall has HOB filter made for a 30g tank and 2 powerheads Maxi jet 1200 and aquaclear 20 and a 150w heater
the 46 g bow has a 10 g smp overflow box with about 65-85 lbs of live rock (taking some out)
with a great protein skimmer (dont feel like getting up to look at name) and a maxi jet 1200 with a rotating mod on it.
which should i put the Sepia Bandensis eggs in and should i change anything about my tanks to accomadate them?
(i have a net breeder for them for the first month)
ANY input will be greatly appreciated and im RAYING for a male and female to be born, butonly time will tell) =] will keep you guys posted on my proress as the days go on
and theres no complicated acclimating procedure right? i just drip them in a small bucket and im going to make sure they never ever leave the water for even a second
