These were my pools when they were first made.
Here they are now.

Re: Show Me Your Water Dishes & Pools!
Very nice! Are the gem stones mainly for decorative and weighing down purposes? And do you find the air stones to be a good addition or necessity? I’ve also been thinking about this.stella wrote:These were my pools when they were first made.

Re: Show Me Your Water Dishes & Pools!
Personally I find the air stones to be a GREAT addition. I had to mist constantly but with the air stones in both pools my humidity stays up without misting. Plus it's moving the water, so I only do water changes every 3 days instead of daily.

Those gemstones are in the container below the main one, so the crabs can’t touch them. I just did that so I coukd remember which is salt or fresh water, and for decoration. Airstones are great, I love mine!ApePlanet wrote:Very nice! Are the gem stones mainly for decorative and weighing down purposes? And do you find the air stones to be a good addition or necessity?

I use stacks of shells for the stairway into the pools, they aren't siliconed down so that way I can scrub the shells when I clean the water dishes. I've never had issues with the crabs knocking the stacks over, so it works for me.

I did it!! Thanks so much for your helpciaraalston wrote:That was the hard part. Haha. So first I had to cut the lip of the bowl a little to fold that section up. Then I took hole punch and pushed it down to where I wanted the hole. Then I just folded the lip that I cut back down and zip tied over it.
Does that make sense?Sent from my SM-S727VL using Tapatalkfandt94 wrote:What did you use to make the holes for the zip ties?ciaraalston wrote:These come from Wal-Mart in the cold food section. We buy a lot of lunch meat for sandwiches and this is what they come in. So i tossed the lids, added mesh, and doubled them up!
