my 240 in wall uniquarium:
Home of Heini the octopus, and some friends (snacks) coral beauty, starry belnnie, 2 engineer gobies, 1 damsel, 5 green chromis, tons of crabs, and snails--Hatian anenome, 2 clown fish, and a an anenome not doing so well that the clown fish like
a few cheap corals (bubble, hammers, mushrooms, polys), plants, 250-300 lbs of live rock

Tank has been up and running for about 2 months

just found a small mantis shrimp (lime green) hiding in the rocks while looking for new things to pop out of the live rock

equipment: 900W of blue and white LED, and 90 Watt red
two protien skimmers--cheapos, nothing much else --no chiller

not always-- fish might outlive octo

this species of octo is small only about a 7" long tenticle ,and happy to eat crabs, and shrimp I have at least 10 small crabs and 10 2-3" shrimp in the tank at all times, and he eats those at will, only when he is hungry, sometimes snacks on a hermit crab, --the clean up crew needs to be replaced every month or so--as they are like popcorn

this octo also spends most of the day out cruising around the tank--

fish may or may not make it --not expensive fish --tank is for the octo-- he shouldn't mess with the coral--if anything the corals are dangerous to him from stings, same with the anenome
