Hey there!
Have just joined this site and absolutely love it! But am in need of some serious advice.
I am currently living in South Korea and working as an English teacher. Am an Aussie by birth. As an octopus lover from way back it has upset me no end to see live octopi everywhere here in tanks outside restaurants. I'm determined to save one and give it a better home than the dinner table.
Have got, I believe, all the right stuff for my tank, air pumps, filter etc, but have no idea where to start with the water. Not sure what the water quality is like here, well we don't drink it we buy bottled water if that's any indication. Where do I find RO water and can I make the saltwater myself? Have heard of things like Instant Ocean and wondering if my best bet is just to buy it online.
These guys are not exactly in great conditions in these restaurant tanks but they look healthy (not sure what the species is either) so 'm thinking that they must be pretty hardy.
Anyway would love any help and advice. Am very keen to save one of these little critters as soon as possible.
Thanks Claire
