So, I finally came round to starting up an octotank.
it's not huge, but I think it 'll do fine.
Filtration is done by a canisterfilter filled with active carbon and some filtercotton. after that the water runs into a separate tank filled with live rock and some caulerpa (to break down nitrate). then the water flows back in the main tank. the separate tank also houses a protein skimmer. (at least, it will house one, I got one from a friend but he's on holidays, so I have to wait )
at the moment the tank is still cycling with a few black molly's. as soon as water parameters are steady, I'm gonna get my very own octo!!!
