I was able to remove all crabs. It's been a week and they are doing great.

Quick update. I have 10 of my crabs in totes. I'm only missing 2. Now the fun part starts to have to go find them. I'm really scared I don't want to find them with gel limbs

Hi Everyone, I have a huge task ahead of me. I have a 270 gallon tank with 12 pps in it. I sold my house and bought a new one. We are moving the weekend of July 8th. What are your suggestions on preparing them for the move. Obviously the tank weighs a thousand lbs. I have an empty 55, 29 and 10 gall...

Do you cover your lid? I had a 29 and two uths (large and mini). I put plastic wrap and a towel over it. I ordered my uth from petstore.com and it was much cheaper than petco.

Don't forget zip ties. My favorite thing in the world.

Oh man, the possibilities with a tank that big...mmmm. My husband, despite his protests every time I get another crab, helped me the other night while I photographed all the crabs and measured their shell openings. He's good at updating me if he sees something going on, and is extremely fond of my ...

Just a quick update! I'll start moving into my new house next week. I'm still working with my uncle on getting things in order for building the crab room, which will actually be a green house but we're still working out all of the details. :D It's exciting! That's very exciting. CONGRATS. I can't w...

Yep for sure getting plastic canvas. There was a 60% off coupon at JoAnns that started today

Thanks! I'm on my way to pick up some plastic canvas.

Is weed blocker needed if you use plastic canvas? Doesn't really matter since I already bought it but I could take it back I guess.
