Ok guys, Ive lived in Florida for a year now, been dieing to set up a SW native tank. Last weekend I caught a small octopus and so far Ive kept him alive by doing daily 100% water changes at the sound. So far so good.
Im not a fish keeping newb but SW is new to me. Been thinking about getting a 12 gallon biocube, if I can grab some used filter media from an existing SW tank and use sand and rocks from the bay, how fast would that start up?
Also does native sand and rocks already have some beneficial growth on it?
Here are some pics taken with my laptop just before he crawled out of the bowl and literally ran across the floor!
