The General Plan
While I am not new to the aquarium hobby, I am new to cephalopod care. I have been visiting Tonmo for a few years now off and on and have done my best to educate myself on both the care and cost of keeping cephalopods.
I am mainly looking for ideas at this point - things to design into a system, things to avoid. I am also trying to figure out if I want one large display tank, or to split it into a system of tanks (i.e. 5x100 gallon tanks). Any suggestions or ideas would be most helpful.
I expect to have the system planned, built, and cycled by the end of fall/early winter. (it seems like a long way off, but I do not plan on rushing at any step of the way - especially cycling the tank)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Mike
- Cuttlefish or Squid (I think cuttles (s. bandensis) are more realistic)
- 350-500 Gallons of aquarium(s) - glass
- 50-100 Gallons of sump
- Large Protein Skimmer
