If it is glass, home depot sells window pane glass (not tempered) for cheap, and glass cutting tools. It's very easy to make baffles and what-not out of.

Both animals are similar as far as endearing, intelligent, and require a more advanced keeper. The HUGE difference is in feeding. The octo is much easier and cheaper. Cuttles are hunters, they will...

It seems like you would have no loss at all in total flow because inlet is 2" and each outlet is 1/2". So 1/2"x6 =3" right? Your outlet is actually bigger than inlet. It seems like the only value...

I'll go ahead and jump on board here with the 20L suggestion, just in case you aren't convinced yet! It's all about the surface area, and the 20L provides plenty of it.

You have other tanks right? Any mushrooms?
Throw a mushroom in there and watch it closely. It should be hardy enough to recover if things go south.
