Hello there!: :tomato:

It's very nice to be here with you! :cheers:

I'm an animator in Boulder, Colorado and have a few questions before I buy my little octo. :octopus:

I've had saltwater fish for a few years now, so my tank is totally set up as far as live rock, etc. but I am a bit hesitant to glue my live rocks under water. Most of them are very big, but I have about 4 or 5 that are only 6-20 pounds. I plan on getting a 3-4" octo. to start with. Can it throw these at the glass?

I'm also drilling holes in a peice of plexi for all tubes, etc at the top of my tank. I saw in one thread that someone had a lock on their aquarium; is that needed?

I see many types of food to feed them, so I think that part is covered.

Is the salinity supposed to be at .034? My starfish are not liking the salt level that high even though I raised it slowly. Can it be at .033?

I'm planning on using a light from an old 10 gallon with an atnic bulb for a 46 gallon tank. Should I get a smaller one or is this amount of light okay?


Okay...:mrgreen: I think that's all for now.
Thanks in advance for saving me from this.

Talk to you soon!

Your specific gravity should be at about 1.026. I don't know that a lock is needed but the top should be tightly sealed to prevent escaping.

:welcome:
