Greetings to all,
I have recently inherited a 125 gallon aquarium and am considering a cephalopod. I am in the very INITIAL phases of my research and am VERY green to not only cephalopods but even to saltwater set ups. So I have much learning ahead to not only what species I would possibly want but to the care and maintenance of the set up. I am in no rush and want to gather as much info as I can even before I begin the process. I was hoping someone could help with
1. Ceph species recommendations for a novice.
2. A detailed list of what equipment I need for recommended species above for a 125 galloon enclosure including exact models and prices (estimates)
3. Best advice on building a custom escape proof lid for a 125 gallon tank.
4. A daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual checklist of ceph care and tank maintenance.
5. All types of acceptable tank mates species specific. Meaning not just starfish - but what kind of starfish ?
6. I want to make this aquarium a beautiful show piece set up. so whatever advice about living rock, hiding spots etc in terms of beauty would also be appreciated.
Sorry I know I am asking for alot and will hopefully find out much on my own reading here but I wanted to initiate some of the info on here. I am located in Orlando and would love to visit someones set up who is local. Thanks for your time.
