Hi there Chris
Here is what I use for mine.
Octopus briareus
This is the Caribbean or Florida Octopus
My Tank is a 55 gallon sea clear tube tank.
Filter used = XP3 FilStar Canister Filter
Lights = Coralife Aqualight T-5 Series - Double Linear Strip
2 Maxi-Jet Powerhead Model 1200 (295 gph) adjacent to each tube to help circulate
For filtration
1 Maxi-Jet Powerhead Model 600 (160 gph) at the top of the intake side of filter also to aide in filtration.

Wow. That is so cool. Is that for breeding purposes, or just for some separation?

Thanks Brock Fluharty and cdan / Chris . I actually seen that tank being sold used in a LFS. I thought the same as you both how cool.
Before she had her eggs she would actually travel back and forth. I was even able to get a few photos of her travels. I like the tank with the tubes mainly because I think it gives the fish in there an escape route. At least that is what I figured since it looked as they would watch which direction the octopus would go and then they would go opposite of her. I liked the size of the tank being equal to a 55 gallon tank. When I bought it though my only thought were; "it would look great on my kitchen counter and I also thought I could make it escape proof easier than most other tanks."
