Just wanted to share some Cuttlefish pics
Here are some pics of the cuttlefish tanks I take care of at my school.
There are 3 Sepia officionallis in 2 120's each one has a sump super skimmer 220 and a trickle filter.

Kind of, but once you get the hang of it there not much different from a reef tank.
My favorite part of the day is when i go feed them. They are so alert and are such good hunters.

Not sure, but I bet they would be similar.
The life span of squids are prety short though.

Don't cuttlefish have a short lifespan as well (less than 18 months)?

Yea, but I dont keep them at home they belong to my lab. I am opposed to keeping things with such short life spans, like flashing scallops.

This speices is cold water, but there are tropical ones.
They shouldnt eat corals but may kill fish and inverts.
