Hi all,
This is my first post and you guys have a great site. I really appreciate all the info. I have a octo/cuttle newb question and hoping I can get an answer. I have a 90 gallon LPS reef. Its mostly euphilia, acans, candy canes, ect. I have a Reef octopus 1000ss skimmer, smaller fuge, an MP40 and six bulb T5s. the tank has been up for almost 4 years and I have been keeping reefs for 5+ years.
The reef used to be an aggressive reef (lions ect) so I am used to messy eaters and the work load. I also have kept eels so I can manage a animal that tries to escape. I have always been fascinated by octos/cuttlefish and would love to keep one if it was appropriate for me. I have read up on the potential issues (short life span, difficult care, ability to escape) but I would enjoy that challenge. I just want to make sure that my system and my tank are appropriate before I go diving into this.
