Hello Everyone.
In 2009 I joined these forums looking for advice on how to set up a saltwater tank to house a cuttlefish (boy it was fun trying to remember my password from back then!). I was only a high school sophomore then and it never panned out due the the expensive and time consuming nature of the project.
Now I am graduating college and finding myself going through old memories, this forum being one of them. Cephalapods are still my favorite animal and i still really want to own a squid/octopus/cuttlefish but i realize i won't be able to for at LEAST a couple more years due to the same reason as above. Once i get settled in a job and a home i'll take on the project.
My questions for you guys are the following:
1) is there any new FAQ/Wiki i can turn to that has been developed since my last time on these forums to learn about the following:
2) I am in california and will be moving to the San Fancisco East Bay area for a job offer in the next two years (once i finish my masters in EE), what species is best to keep in that area?
It's great to be back and I look forward to owning a ceph one day, but i'm not gonna make the same mistakes my over-eager younger self did by assuming i could do it quickly. So i want to use the time between now and when I have a stable career in a couple years to prepare.
Thanks!

My questions for you guys are the following:
1) is there any new FAQ/Wiki i can turn to that has been developed since my last time on these forums to learn about the following:
a) saltwater tank setup (books, website, videos, etc) on how to purchase, set up and care for a tank
b) differences between caring for a squid vs octopus vs cuttlefish (which one is easier to care for? what are some major differences?
c) how to properly set up a tank for a specific species and what to expect
d) where to acquire the species
