Calcium 2inches-6inches
H: Sand needs to be 3x your biggest crabs height and at least 6 inches. Also as soon as your other crab is up chuck the calci sand and use play sand. You can find it from any hardware store (cheap) mix this in a 5:1 ration sand to eco earth.
2. Do you have gauges in the tank to measure temperature and humidity? If so, where are they located and what temperature and humidity do they read?
Have one non digital on side but I have used a Accurite digital in center and just got a new one for larger tank I moved over to get accurate reading the last couple days as needed.
Temp: 76degrees
Humidity: 99% (has always stayed really high n I have leave piece of glass lid open from time to time)
H: Ok You definitely need to calibrate that hydrometer as I think it's In correct. I do t have a link but just search it in this forum.
3. Is a heat source used in the tank? If so, what?
UTH back of tank & insulated
4. What types of water are available (fresh or salt) and how is the water treated (what brands of dechlorinator or salt mix and what ratio is used to mix it)?
Zoomed fresh water
Instant ocean saltwater
H: I'm not sure about zoomed but hopefully another crabber will chime in- I use spring water or dechlorinated water.
5. What kinds of food do you feed and how often is it replaced?
Lots of HCP n fruits/vegs
H: Make sure you have lots of calcium In there diet (cuttlebone or oyster shell) as well as protein from dead insects and meats and fish.
6. How long have you had the crab and what species is it, if known?
6 months, all 3 PP's
7. Has your crab molted, and how long ago did it happen?
Yes twice just 2-3 weeks if that long
8. What type of housing are the crabs kept in, what size is it and what kind of lid is on the housing?
10 gallon, glass lid
H: I would recommend a bigger tank it is a bit overcrowded. You mentioned financially getting stuff was a problem (I know it's crazy expensive) so you can get a tank off of of Craigslist, let go, Mercari etc.
9. How many crabs are in the tank and about how large are they?
3 PP's (2 medium, 1 small)
10. How many extra shells are usually kept in the tank, if any?
Right now about 6 (have much more but have be getting things ready to transition)
H: 3 per crab minimum.
11. Have there been any fumes or chemicals near the crabitat recently?
No
12. How often do you clean the tank and how?
Just clean top level, vinegar paper towel to wipe sides, clean out food/water
13. Are sponges used in the water dish? If so, how are they cleaned?
No
14. Has anything new been added to your crabitat recently?
No
15. Is there any other information you would like to share that might be helpful (anything that is regularly part of your crab care, playtime, bathing, etc.)?
No
16. Please describe the emergency situation in detail.
Explained above with pictures.
Use a plastic water bottle cut in half with the lid off for air flow. Stick it into the sand around the weaker molter. Put some moss in the bottle to keep up humidity. Also drop a few prices of cuttlebone in.

. We just got our bigger tank after Christmas n been slowly gettin things together (financially couldn't do it any other way). At first I thought they were just staying huddled up together Bc it's the only real hiding place in there but I'm concerned the more I think about it Bc one crab seems be stronger n in better molting shape than other n I don't want him to hurt the weaker one. I'm goin quickly remove the coconut, give u a idea what we are dealing with, how they are positioned and you tell me if I need to ISO! 
The 2-liter looks bent as if he was trying to escape....I've covered the tank to keep it dark. How long do I leave him? How do I know when he's ready to come out?
