Okay. That sounds reasonable. All that I have in my 90 gallon reef sump is a big bag or activated carbon that I change once a month and a filter pad called poly filter that helps remove many harmful metals, including copper and aluminium, as these are just as harmful to many corals as they are to octopuses. I'm in the process of adding a large filter bag.
I may hang a small filter bag in the bottom filter shelf to capture particulate matter in the octopus tank. Carbon only acts as a partially effective mechanical filter from my experience.
I need to get a good clean up crew list. I'm sure I can add those before the octopus comes as they should help to mature the tank once it's cycled. I'm sure there's a thread on here somewhere about what critters are helpful and good tank mates with octopodes.
