So, I've been here before, but it's been a couple months. Since then, I moved from Colorado to Florida, and I still don't have crabs, but I'm getting that to change. I have a tank, and I've had it for 6 months starting Saturday. I have a 6 conch shells (I know they prefer turbos, gonna get some, whe...

You can use Styrofoam, and or cardboard with sheets of aluminum foil.

The tanks usually have to be modded to hold in enough substrate, but they are front opening which is nice. For the money though, the $1 per gallon sale will net you a much larger tank and supplies. Sponges aren't recommended for water bowls since they hold bacteria. They can be used but need daily ...
