Anyone in the Fort Collins area have any macro algeas for sale? Not looking for chaeto, culperas would be perfect.

If you are going to sell any live rock, I know you probably have some amazing stuff, I'm in need of some smaller pieces to seed some tanks and add some biodiversity to my others.

I decided to try some small blue leg hermits today, a couple of the Octos would cover their shell, but haven't quite learned that they need to flip them over to get to the good part. If anything they will be a new learning experience for the Octos, I will monitor to make sure they don't add to...

I have a teal that I will donate to you if you are interested, I'm in Ft Collins though.

Not to much to update, I still have all 5 baby's, they are all honing their Amphipod hunting skills. I've been somewhat successful with thawed mysis, but I think that's just when they are low on Amphipods. I'll try to get some more pictures/videos at one of the feedings this weekend.

I still have all five babies. They were all out and active at feeding time last night. I was able to get two of them to take thawed mysis, so that was really nice!

Some more videos from tonight during feeding time. https://youtube.com/shorts/d54ZNYXJVxI?si=hLNO52oG0bxvtBSs https://youtube.com/shorts/ePOpVRnFyDY?si=FyPOa5iYWBZmE2q_ https://youtube.com/shorts/6wJ-c4iaF_M?si=u6rUVDmtyK-Z8Lqi https://youtube.com/shorts/KB8VVlk6HBw?si=GkG3Yl5mqEMlbyOD...

No worries. If not, just let me know when you do, and I'll definitely take some from you.

I would love some more! I have a tank set up just to try to breed and keep a continuous supply of them going. I can definitely get more videos. I'll be at Reef Stock on Saturday if you have some available?

Yes absolutely, I could definitely vent it if needed, being that an Octopus likes interaction, the lid will be open fairly often as well. We keep our bedroom window open about 20 feet from the tank almost year round, so we have fresh air coming in from there as well. But I have a few months...

We keep the house at 65° and 67° in the summer, so even without the chiller, the tank sits right about there. The chiller is more of a just-in-case thing, not a necessity. So far, the tank has not climbed above 67.5° with the glass top, and that takes days to get to once chilled to 64°, so the...

The skimmer in the sump should take care of the oxygen/aeration.

My fan showed up tonight for venting the stand with the chiller being inside. This fan is great, on high it is super quiet. I officially have the chiller running and the tank has gone from 68° to 64° in about an hour. I have a master slave surge protector operating the chiller and fan, so when...

Yeah, they are little! About the size of a quarter right now.

They get to be about 2ft across fully grown.

I just finished up feeding time, all five of my little octos are still doing very well and are very active. I've been keeping their containers with at least a half dozen Amphipods and check at night that they still have some to hunt. I get to watch them hunt while adding more at night and it's...

Everything is still going well, I was able to get my lights installed, I'm doing grow bulbs so when I get the kelp and other macros they will hopefully be able to thrive and grow. I have a glass top that I got through our glass vendor at work and have it hinged with acrylic hinges. I put child...

Avast Plank! It has been awesome for me!

I dumped in a few Mysis last night to get the cycle started. Once that is going, I will probably try to add a couple of Blacksmiths or a few Salema to keep it cycled with a bio-load of some sort. I also plan to add some Shield Limpets, Black Turban Snails, and some Common Periwinkles for a...

Officially up and running since yesterday.
