HCA: Hermit Crab Association

so I have been trying to make an awesome waterfall/ fresh water pool for my crabs. My worry is that they dont seem to like to submerge in the water beyond their claws. My question is do yours like to submerge? how did you introduce them to the dishes? Did they always like it? I just dont want to put...

So many road blocks... I would keep clear of the cardboard. Mostly making it waterproof

I will! And you let me know!

Biscuits!!! Man, building an awesome habitat for these guys is way harder than my tortoise. *sigh* maybe I should just epoxy rocks together....

I used glue and relied on the foam to waterproof the frame the last time. This next time I will seal during construction. Because I just can't seem to get this thing to hold water. And I'm going to coat the whole thing in grout.... Or cement.

Instead of quick drying adhesive, I'm going to use an aquarium silicone so that I'm not relying on the foam to do most of the water proofing.

Oh no. I used an acrylic spray sealer first (4coats) and then silicone (2 coats). If push comes to shove I will add a layer of grout.

1/8" standard glass. I hate plexiglass for any type of enclosure. I built my tortoise table with a plexiglass front and it is crapping out after a year. Plus it scratches so easily *Just a note, the only reason I'm using 1/8" glass that is untempered is because it will be resting on the glass that m...

Thanks! Tomorrow I add water! Fingers crossed

So after four coats of acrylic sealer and two coats of aquarium sealer applied with a paint brush, I have attached the glass!

Haha. Yup. My auto correct got me on that one... I love my kulis they have the cutest little faces! I wanted to get some striped ones but my tank is at a compfortable level.
