Me, too!
What type of octopus is that? Like Jayghmi, I didn't know any octo. species could be kept in home aquaria.

Everything in this tank is going we are piecing it out starting tomorrow. We decided to buy a smaller place and I want to get a tank that I can fit into my dining room wall at the new place.
There is no chiller he is Tropical. I have had multiple Octopus and none of them have tried to climb out. THere are 10 small perculas, 2 orange spot file fish, a few different hawks, a blue brested trigger in the tank along with MANY other ornamental marine fish
I feed him by hand chunks of Original Blend Rod's Food

Awesome octi it's too bad they have such a short lifespan they would be about the perfect marine critter to keep.

live rock is going up today

I was just looking for a good-sized premo rock or two to add to what I already have in my tank. 10-20 lbs at the most. If you've found a buyer to take it all, then sell it. ;)
Since we both live in Raleigh, I would have just preferred to go and pick up a piece or two rather than have it shipped. It would be a couple of weeks before I'd be able to get it anyway. Lots of other financial obligations and a beach vacation coming up for me. :)

No Im not in Raleigh anymore. Used to live off kent road near garmn street is what I was saying.
I can ship priority mail 2 days to you the rock and it will be just fine
