Hello! Nov-18-2019 This last year I went to Seaquest and fell even more in love with the Octopus when I was able to interact with it.

Hi all, Recently picked up a used tank from work that would suit itself well to being escape-proofed and I've been considering trying an octo at home. The tank is approximately 280 gallons and measures 72"x30"x30" (182x76x76cm).

However, I'd rather not run a chiller on this tank for a number of reasons, foremost among them the fact that I'm setting up a large reef […]
