AquaticEngineer Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Squid haven't been kept successfully yet though. Right? Squid would be awesome. I don't think anyone has been able to get coldwater Stubby Squid until now At least in home aquariums. Sounds awesome! I do like the Pacific Reds a lot also. I was thinking that I want to owe some Nautilus also! I thought I remember hearing from someone and reading somewhere that people have been able to keep some. If I am remembering correctly they were Humboldt Squid also. Let me know if you want a red, I was planning on getting a couple at least. Link to comment

patback Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I thought the octopus was eyeing up the clown in the second video. Awesome that it doesn't go after it. Didn't you have a ycg in there too? Link to comment

metrokat Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Holy Cyano Batman! Chaeto that tank! Link to comment
Criley7 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 OOO believe me I have chaeto. And Chemipure Elite. And a protein skimmer. And i still get the cyano. My best bet is to get a bigger tank with more water volume so It can decrease the nitrate/phosphate ppm. Take a close look at the videos again though! In the second video you see the Cyano really bad, but the first video is from the day after, I did a water change and good siphon of the Sand bed and Live rock Which helped a ton, but I think my next move is going to be using some of my Chemi Clean.

Have you tried -Microbacter7 -Sugar or Vodka -GFO in a small bag thrown in a high flow area Link to comment
Criley7 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Have you tried -Microbacter7 -Sugar or Vodka -GFO in a small bag thrown in a high flow area NO NO and NO I haven't done much of anything with this tank at all lately maintenance wise. The octopus and fish are all very happy and it doesnt bother them, its just a bad eye sore. Now that I'm sick of looking at it tho, I will be tickering with ways to fix my problem. I should throw some GFO in a media bag next. My other option would be to get rid of all the fish. They are a lot of movement when the octopus isnt, so i would be sad to see them go. But I might have to do it eventually for the health of the tank. I think the octopus is a ton more happy and active since the fish were added because he has something to interact with in some way.

metrokat Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The simplest thing to do would be vodka or sugar since the other stuff you have to go and buy. You can also try no lights for 3 days while doing everything - water changes, GFO, carbon dosing and microbacter (Shut off skimmer for 2 hours at least after adding microbacter) Link to comment
NanoTopia Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Very cool Criley, have you tested the water, looks nutrient rich. I think Kat has a reasonable solution, how big is your skimmer? Link to comment
Criley7 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Very cool Criley, have you tested the water, looks nutrient rich. I think Kat has a reasonable solution, how big is your skimmer? Thanks Nano!~ No I do not test the water in this tank because octopuses cant live in very nutrient rich waters without a problem and I didn't have anything else to worry about in the tank. Yea going the try Kats suggestions, but if it just keeps coming back after feedings then Im just going to put up with the eye sore until I can upgrade set ups. The skimmer is a AquaC Remora HOB that is rated up to a 75g tank. The simplest thing to do would be vodka or sugar since the other stuff you have to go and buy.You can also try no lights for 3 days while doing everything - water changes, GFO, carbon dosing and microbacter (Shut off skimmer for 2 hours at least after adding microbacter) I love it how you assume That I wouldnt have to buy Vodka! haha I'm actually going to have to buy vodka and sugar!
