My next tank is going to be for a octopus. Now I have a reef tank so I'm familiar with the upkeep needed . Other than a tight lid do I have to practice the same upkeep. Do they also need a water change every week. Do I need a protein skimmer or will a simple canister filter work just fine and last but not least what should be the minimum tank size. Thanks for any help!

haha, theyre very hard to keep and live for about a year tops. some shorter some longer, thats a rule of thumb. Good luck, its expensive but how many people can say they have a cepholopod.

Thats one of the only "pod" to not be held in captivity with success, per Tonmo.com
I have kept one for over 3 months now.
I have a 30 gallon cube with rock, a canister and a skimmer. Change 5 gallons a week and feed him daily. Personally I don't find the species I have hard to keep. I used to duct tape the thing to keep him from escaping, now it has no canopy and he has never tried. Extremely cool animal and I highly reccomend them.
