hi there,
after having freshwater tanks for many years, we (Kristina and Benjie from Vienna, Austria) want to try a tank for an octopus. (Having read Sy Montgomery's "Soul of an Octopus" played an part in this.) Running a saltwater tank doesn't scare us, as Kristina is a pharmacist... Surprisingly, it does not seem to be a problem at all to get a vulgaris here (middle europe, that is).
Now we are searching for more specific information on the needs of a vulgaris. We plan to set up a 100g tank and every information on tank design, pump and skimmer capacity, water chemistry, tankmates (thinking about gorgonians, serpent stars, urchins, hermit crabs), food, etc... We found many helpful hints in different threads here (THANKS to everyone who makes this unique forum possible), but little on the vulgaris, so every advice is appreciated.
btw., we were looking for Nancy Kings "Cephalopods" book, but it seems to be impossible to get one for a reasonable price... is there any legal way to purchase it as an ebook or so?
