My new saltwater tank...


Putty

I started this about 2 months ago. Now stable and running great. Just adding livestock now.

Proud of myself for mounting this to the wall

Very nice, man. Can't wait to see that live rock come in. Give us an update pic a few months from now. It's been years since I had a saltwater aquarium. Last thing I owned was an octopus. One of the most awesome (and mischevious) pets I've owned.

Where'd you score the octopus? And yes, they are incredibly intelligent creatures. Cephlapods in general have a high resemblance to humans in some ways.

Yeah a lot of the rock is naked. It'll come in. Coraline is forming in some areas. The Trigger is a "black durgeon". I'll get a full pic posted. It's just a 72 bowfront. The beauty I found with saltwater tanks is once they are established, you ready dont have to do much to do...they run themselves....water changes is only upkeep.

Russo's in Orange County, California when I lived out there. It would get so excited when I got home and follow me around inside the tank. When I would approach it and put my hand in, it would wrap itself around my hand and just hold me. Never aggressive and always "happy" shades. I would come up with little puzzles for it to get its food having got the ideas from other experiments I read about, saw on tv or just coming up with my own.

 

Funny story, I had another tank that shared the same stand space. They were side by side separated by a couple feet. I had damsels in the other tank that began disappearing without a trace. Then I noticed a bit of water between the tanks... then I caught the bastard leaving its tank to steal damsels out of my other one! Haha I was kinda proud. They don't live long but it was an awesome pet. Anyway, I've taken up too much threadjacking space here.
