Bimac tank build

We need more octopus vids...

I just cleaned a filter sock the other day that was loaded with huge amphipods - if you find yourself running low at all, let me know. Maybe you have a good supply from your systems.

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?

OK let me check if I can wrangle up a bunch and will let you know... wish I'd kept them all the other day when I cleaned out the socks. Might be more in there by now.

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

Some more videos from tonight during feeding time.

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!

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 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 much stress. Not sure how the blue legs will fair with the cooler tank temps, I plan to place an order for live mysids this week as they are a little bigger than the Amphipods and I'll see how we do with those.
