Hello all! I would like to convert my 75 gallon reef tank to an octopus tank, but I have a few issues...
First, I have a few tank mates that i'm not sure I could part with...such as my blue hippo tang, and a mandarin goby. Now, I know that the mandarin would be food, but what about the tang? Would he pick on the octo, would the octo kill him? I really want to get a briareus from MarineDepotLive. I think that it being a 75 gallon tank, it would give more room for errors in quality, more room, etc. The tang is a smaller one (about 2 inches) but he is very fast, and I think he could get away from an octo. Especially since the tang was there first. I do have some hermits, snails, etc., but i'm not extremely concerned about them. I could move my corals to the 20 gallon frag tank, or just leave them in this tank. I know that they cna sometimes move corals around, and disturb them, but I'm not sure this would be an issue, as the corals are large zoa colonies, and if they do, I could move them to the 20. LMK if this sounds alright.
