Heya everyone,
I've been researching, reading and finding out everything possible for about a year now in plan of setting up a reef tank. I've already got the tank and most of the material needed, but probably won't actually start setting up for another year (buying a new house) which will give me time to read a few more books and be sure I know everything needed before starting. Now, I definitely want a reef tank, but must admit I am really attracted by octos and would love to have one in it. I've read quite a bit and there seems to be 2 schools of thought. Some say octos MUST be in a species tank when others say that they can live happily in a reef tank as long as there tankmates are well chosen. I would definitely wait a year or 2 after setup to get an octo just to make sure I've got the hang of the tank. Can anyone share their experiences with me pls.
