    I'm bored to the point of getting out of the hobby for awhile.  I don't really want to but I don't know what to do.  I don't want to go into my tank all the time to move things around.
    If anyone knows my setup and what little I do for it, and what I get out of it, knows anything that I can try, let me know. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Larry, if you get a blue ringed octopus, your hobby isn't going to be the only thing done for, them things have killed many aquarists....

    I would look into getting a pygmy octopus(if you can find one) or even a bunch of cuttlefish. Cuttlefish are easier to keep, but they only live for a couple years. On the good side, they do lay eggs relatively easy, so you can always start a new culture every year or two.

    I started setting up a cuttlefish/octo tank, but then a deal on two seahorses came up so I decided to try them out. It was quite the experience, but it was so hard to keep the tank clean since they couldn't have too much flow. Long story short, I had a friend hold them for me in his seahorse tank while I moved, then when I went to get them back they just looked too good, so I decided to sell them to him for a loss...

    I still have a 35 gallon hexagon tank that would make a sweet octo tank, maybe I should bring that back up with me next time I go home!

    For now I have a 4 gallon pico that I'm going to setup with a sump for filtration and have dwarf seahorses in a couple months!
