Yes its a custom acrylic tank I ordered specifically for keeping octos in. Tops seal completely. I have a 1" bulkhead (screened) and one for return plumbing. There is a 20l sump, a Reef Octopus 250(?) skimmer and a return pump (Panworld). So far its required no more work than any other tank I've had, water changes and regular maint is all. Live foods is the most difficult thing to deal with, however mine takes frozen as well.

I was somewhat disappointed for about the first month. He hid in his cave and that was about it. As he's gotten bigger he's definitely become much more entertaining. He's not shy at all, I would even call him brazen. Lots of color and pattern changes when he knows I'm watching him. He also has very humanistic "expressions and emotions" like his eyes get big when he gets surprised. He also does what I call two-face, he divides himself perfectly in half and makes one side jet black and the other a stark white.
