I do raw eggshells too, I make sure to thoroughly wash it out, dry it, and then I pop it in the tank. I usually keep it in there for about a week, maybe two. Never dealt with any smells or mold

I have the same situation! I gave my two crabs similar names (Kai and Tai) because they're so similar to one another.

Wonderful! So, you have noticed an increase in activity? I moved my tank two days ago and had to redecorate it too, it's not often that I do this. The crabs couldn't be more active, they are always moving. I increased sub depth, and removed wood, that made them really active! Well, I actually think...

That's exactly how I ended up rearranging mine! [emoji16]

Update: The crabs love their new setup! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180603/856eeb41d73eb33c6193248f11ae7c21.jpg Tai, in a shell shop https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180603/3e901aa4dce98a21eee68d51c627d3d3.jpg Kai, climbing on a shell shop For the last week, the two refuse to depart from th...

I do this too- but with glass gallon jugs. I have to refill/replace my freshwater constantly, but my saltwater tends to last longer, around two weeks. I would get larger jugs, but I simply don't have the space! [emoji23][emoji16]

I love the colorful flowers! I'm curious if your crabs will climb to the end of the flowers and fall off. I find they do that with the foliage. Thank you! I haven't seen them climb on top of the flowers yet, but both of them have tightroped at the very top of the jute cord net, traveled all the way...

To make a shower caddy look natural, you can weave and zip tie plastic plants through the square holes I've tried that, but I've never cared for the look with the types of leaves I have. They end up falling apart as I weave them, and then the moss always gets caught in the vine when I replace it. I...

Beautiful! I absolutely love those floral decorations :cloud9: I am coming up to decorating my tank a bit more, and adding substrate. Otherwise, I don’t do major changes often. I love your tank layout. It's so symmetrical, clean, and natural looking! I look forward to seeing what you decorate with!...

Florals, cork, grapewood, larger water pools! I also got rid of my shower caddy moss pit. It was becoming a hassle rewetting the moss and having the crabs spew moss everywhere. Instead the moss pit is in the sub (held by doubled Tupperware) I prefer a natural look, and I was inspired by some of the ...

We're rooting for him!! [emoji3]
