It’s getting better every day!
I really cannot wait until this thing is done! :)

What are the pools made from? Aren’t those your previous ones?

Paint trays. Yes, it's what was in there before. I use tupperware containers in the 90 gal. These trays had gotten too small for a couple of my large crabs I think. But I plan on getting small crabs to start in this tank.

Here are pretty much the final pictures. Except for the hamster wheel. I'll probably get at least 1 maybe 2. My husband said no more than 3 because then, after awhile, I'll think it's too crowded and want to get a larger tank, then say, hey, I have an empty tank, I can get more. Lol. I don't see the problem. ImageImageImageImageImage

The new setup looks great! I think any new additions will love this setup.

Here are my 2 new guys. They're in the tank now settling in. I asked my daughter to name them. ImageImage

Totally loving the background and the new setup! What kind of branch are you using in there? Also, I've never seen any hermits in a candy snail shell before- what a sight! They look so small. Have you figured out the species?

They both PPs. Smaller crabs will sometimes take candy cane shells, but tend to prefer turbos and whatnot.

It's an oak tree branch. And I also have a large piece of driftwood. I assume he'll change shells soon. They are pp's.

Wow they are precious! And so tiny! They're going to love their tank! Any names from your daughter yet?
