100 Gallon Fowlr Tank

I wouldnt use silicone for the live rock, i would use it for the dry base rock, and stuck together when the rock is dry. Reason is silicone takes a day or two to cure, and if cured underwater, it releases some chemicals that arent good for fish tanks.

You can pick up like 8-10 dollar sticks of aquarium safe epoxy at your lfs, these would be a better choice since they are aquarium made and will cure safely underwater.

About that whole octopus thing... I think I remember this coming up either a little over a year ago or maybe only a few months....

Octopi have very short lifespans.... born, grow, reproduce and die all within as short as a single year... plus being not the most traded specimens in the trade, can get pricey I would guess... so alot of money for a short time. Plus they are talented espcape artists.... can squeeze through any opening that is atleast as big as their beak... so you would need to take extra care to make sure your tank is as close to alcatraz as possible (check the concrete walls for saltwater damage ) Plus, I believe most species that I know of are piscavores and will prob eat or atleast damage most other tank mates it can catch...

Any pygmy angel would do great in your tank. Many species find corals tasty, so for the future, if you decide to get corals, you have to watch to make sure any of these guys don't think your $50 to $100 frag is a snack you just bought for them... but in fo, you should be fine.... add any angel last as they can be territorial and if you add another fish after any angel, it may become aggressive towards the new fish.

yea i was reading that about them. it reminds me of when i had my peacock spiney eel, that sucker was about an inch round and he still got through the tiny hole in the top, I found him behind the tank flopping on the floor. good thing i got to him in time.

but yea i think angels are pretty and definitely would add last.
