    Not sure yet........I would LOVE to house a Blue Ringed Octopus, but cant take that chance, esp b/c of my girls and the fact that there isnt any anti-venom available. Im still looking around, if you guys have suggestions, feel free to mention some. Something with color would be nice. Luna

    Pretty cool luna..... Have you looked around for the octopus yet? Apparently, there are few for the hobby. Unless, you have good lfs's that have access. I'm sure you do being in Fl.

    hey Luna - You gonna put a check-valve on the return line?
    (since the return will be below water line)

    Not sure yet, when I finish with the stand, Im going to run it with FW for a few hrs to see how everything runs/noises. And of course, shut off the power and see what happens. Just might need one. Great observation Matt. luna

    Well, being from Michigan and a big Red Wings hockey fan (there's nothing else to do in the winter!), we know quite a bit about octopi-
