We have since replaced with plastic pipes, so that’s not an issue. But the water chemistry has to be very good. The temperature is a tight requirement. They giant Pacific octopus need colder water. I think the maximum we held ’em with was 55 degrees Fahrenheit. And just to see what it felt like, I would sometimes put my hand in there and you couldn’t hold it in there. 30 seconds, you come out and just be numb. You could hardly flex your fingers. So special chilling.
