Hi all. Im new and from Perth, Western Australia. Would like to share some shots of my new crabitat. A third of the tank has a heated saltwater pool with filtration.

Cool set-up! I like the gradual shore line transition into your saltwater pool! Very unique! :D

Welcome! I love the salt water pool. I would like to know how deep your substrate is. Hermit crabs need a minimum of 6in sub that is sandcastle consistency to molt safely and properly. larger crabs need even more sub! Crazy huh? can I say again I love your salt water pool? It is really awesome!

I see this is your first post. Welcome to the HCA! Love the big saltwater pool! Be sure to check out our Caresheet section, if you haven't already. There's loads of information there. :)

Your saltwater pool is absolutely beautiful! I'm sure the hermies love it!

I agree with above, the substrate does look slightly shallow. But other than that, your tank looks good!

Woah!! cool pool! talk to me about it, how do you filter it, what kind of stuff do you have in there? is it completely cut off from the rest of the sub? Seriously awesome
