You on the other hand explain things clearly and completely without talking down to or over the heads of your audience. Thank You!

    When you install the tower make sure to have some rubberized seals on the edges and gaps of where the tower and the tank square connect. ALSO dither fish help in an octopus aquarium to get the octopus out if you can pick up some damsels or Chromises

    I found out that if you use astro turf around the edges of the top opening. The octopuses are tricked into thinking they are about to enter dry land instead of feeling safe on sand. I saw one of the huge aquariums like seaworld do that on the octopus tanks and they leave the top open.

    Over here at the florida aquarium they put asphalt on the outside of the aquarium and that makes him not wanna explore outside of it and in an aquarium in Singapore they put artificial grass around the top of their octopus’s aquarium and that keeps him from wanting to escape. Those are some pretty cool ideas that might work instead of fully sealing it off

    @Mark30000Thomas 2 роки тому

    Personal opinion but I think perhaps instead of resting the lookout tower on rocks, you should instead make a square, acrylic collar of sorts that goes around the tower so that it can rest on top of the tank at a preset height. I would also maybe put some kind of rubber, adhesive backed gasket material around the base of the collar that can squeeze between the outside of the opening of the tank where the tower will go and the tower itself to create almost a press fit of the tower into the tank. This would help to minimize any and all gaps that the octopus can find and escape from, would eliminate the potential issue of the tower slipping off the rocks due to the octopus moving the rocks, and would also prevent the octopus from lifting/shifting the tower out of place. Octopus are pretty strong and as you know are master escape artists, so 100% sealing this thing off will be crucial!
