HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Yes, everything is OK. Just decided if I do get back into crabs, I don't want a tank that big again. Will go with smaller tank and not as many crabs! Thank you for asking!! When I had it, I had a large and medium UTH and a 60 watt daylong bulb. That worked good for me. Sorry you are having problems,...

Hey there! Was wondering if you are going to be able to make it today? If you can't, that is fine. I don't want to rush you, I know you have things to do. I just need to know how to plan my day. Just let me know! Thanks, Debbie

Tomorrow around 1 or 2pm? I was planning on going through the 75 gallon to get a full count and how many I have of each. That way I can get some of it done and my boys fed lunch before you get here. How does that sound??

Hey there! Anytime this weekend will be fine if you can work something out. I have decided to Adopt out all of them, including the Straws. How many we're you thinking of taking? Since I am adopting all of them, I will not need the stand. So if you wanted to go ahead and take the 55 gallon tank and s...

Hey there! Just wanted to touch base with you. Do you know anything about this weekend? I can understand trying to work things out around a working schedule. Just let me know when you gat a chance. Thanks, Debbie

If you can, next weekend works for me. Or if you have any days off during the week, I do not work away from home. Just let me know what works for you and I can accommodate! Talk with you soon, Debbie

And my son has a soccer game at 4pm.

Oh wow! Was not expecting anything this early. The 55 gallon is in the basement. Have not cleaned it out, but it is just a little sand in it from when I had the crabs in there. How many of the crabs were you thinking of taking? they are all in the 75 gallon and I have not even gone through that yet....

Oh darn, I just remembered that I was going to use the 55 gallon stand for the 36 gallon. If you take the tank, do you have something to use for a stand? If not, that's fine. I can find something. I am just so confused with a lot of things right now!! Uuugghh!!

Hey there! All the crabs are currently in a 75 gallon that I am going to hang onto. Hopefully in a couple years, things will be settled a little and I can get some more again. The 55 gallon is one I used to have. I also have a smaller 36 gallon that I will eventually put my straws in when I adopt ou...

Hello there! I have not been on the site very much lately. A lot of personal things going on. I am downsizing my crabs, maybe eventually have to get rid of all, but will see how downsizing works. I live in Waynesville which is about half way between Dayton and Cinci. I have mostly E's, some PP's and...

IO.....Instant Ocean. Marine grade salt a lot of us use for our saltwater.

No worries!! I normally would not mind making the trip to your place, but with gas prices the way they are right now. So I understand where your Mom is coming from. I am sure Big Red will be fine until then. Just keep me posted! Deb

Hey there Dylan! Well, I got my 55 gallon surfaced cleaned and changed around. With Big Red, there will be 21 in there. 7 larges and the rest medium to small. Just let me know when you will be able to get a ride to WCH. Thanks, Debbie

That looks awesome!! Makes me want to add much, much more to my 75 gallon! Right now the substrate is just full of holes, so if I get more going in it and more hidey places, then maybe they will be up more. Very good job!!
