I remember Hermin my first Octopus, after I found this site, took my water to my LFS and the nitrate was off the charts!! Deadly to fish, but Hermin had existed in my old tank for 4 months at that point!
I did weekly water changes to bring it down. 40 is not bad!! Good idea on Fish Supply, if you want I could email jim and beg him for one more!!!!!
Good idear (I dont really say that ) with the email.
Here's the message Im sending him:
Subject: Future customer...
Body: Im going to buy an octo from you in a few days and have a question.
Lots of my friends of TONMO.com have recently been purchasing octos from a set batch. One person said that that was the last octo you would send and Im wondering if you can sell me one from that batch. I would really appreciate it. Otherwise I would feel left out.
8) Thanks. Oh and by the way, I went down to clean out my 5 gallon buckets (Im getting them filled tomorrow) and discovered I still had about 6 gallons left! So I changed the water. Nitrate update soon!
