Daaang!! It's looking pretty good. When do the crabs get added?
That stand is really pretty too!

They got added! 5 very small PP's made their way home with me. They all dug down pretty much that night, so no photos of them, yet!

Alright! Most of the stuff we got went into the tank and I’m pretty happy with how it all turned out. Totally forgot instant ocean to make salt water and tape to hang the background. Oops!

After some slight issues with the pay online, pick up in store, the tank is finally home and the U-Haul has been returned. Time to get this thing set up!!

Today is the day I’ve been waiting for! I just purchased the tank (saved 15% by using buy online, pickup in store! [emoji7]) and ordered the cargo van from UHaul. We’re heading to Petco & PetSmart now to get some supplies and then a friend is coming over to help us pick up the tank. No pics yet, but...

Hey everyone! I am planning out my 125 gallon crabitat that I'll be building next weekend. One thing that I'd like to do this time around is provide a much deeper pool with the extra space that I usually can't do. I had a thought about using a 2.5 gallon aquarium for pools (1 of fresh the other for ...

6 months isn’t really that long of a time to go without a molt. Crabs a curious little creatures and scheduled are not something they believe it. Just keep conditions where they’re supposed to be, feed them right, and make sure they aren’t acting sluggish. It’ll happen in time! Sent from my iPhone u...

Hey Kermie16! Thank you!

I found them at a PetCo here. They usually only have PP’s, but they had a ton of E’s this time around!

Thank you Daws! [emoji3]

I actually don’t have one on the back right now. The tank has been running steady today at 77... I don’t think I want one along the entire back, which is why I’m going to toy with the idea on putting one on the side for now

I'm not too worried about the view. I'm thinking I'll set it up on the left side of the tank, to have a warmer side and a cooler side.

The thermostat plug is on my wish list. Next pay day I'll tackle this project!

I'm glad all is well again!

Hey there! Step one, breathe. I know that's hard to do when your baby seems to be in some sort of trouble. But remember, hermit crabs aren't dumb. They do (most) everything for a reason. Are you sure he's actually naked? Maybe you're seeing the shedded exoskeleton of the crab, not the crab itself. A...

I'm jealous of you, actually!

I built two moss pits yesterday and I think I had 1 E discover it... Sigh.. Hopefully they'll find it soon!

Hey everyone! I've been watching my 75 gallon... Closely. No joke, I have barely left the room.. Yikes! I've noticed my temp overnight stayed at 75 degrees, yay! But, I'd like to maybe get an Ultratherm to raise it just a couple of degrees during the day. I like it to hit anywhere between 78-82.. Th...

Really? I have used them for years and never had an issue.

I’ll keep an eye out.
