Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, but i really need some advice ASAP.
My cousin just started renting a house, and upon moving in found an aquarium with a octopus and 2 clownfish in it. Apparently the former tenants just abandoned the poor little guys. To make a long story short, I am adopting them tomorrow.
I am not new to fish keeping, I have a 75g and a 55g with SA and African Cichlids. This will, however, be my first salt water tank. I have researched a lot about salt water aquariums over the years, but any and all advice you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated! Specifically about transporting/caring for the octopus.
I have not seen the tank/fish yet. All I know is they told me that is a 55g, the fish "look fine", and the filter is running. What really worries me is that I know this tank has been neglected for at least 2 weeks but I'm assuming it has been A LOT longer considering the owners didn't even care enough to take their pets with them/find them a home!!! Any advice regarding the ideal way to restore the correct salinity in the tank would also be appreciated (I'm assuming that I would have to do it slowly, over a period of time?)
Thank you all in advance! And as soon as I see it tomorrow I will update and give more specifics. But I'm really worried about the transportation aspect.
