Thanks Kayedee!!

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170112/a8b0099116709328af451d2060065227.jpg Two questions, pls: 1. What did you put on top of the eggcrate to separate the substrate from going through? 2. How are you siphoning excess water under the false bottom? I know its through the PVS, but how? Are you usin...

I got a new E a couple of days ago, and he was literally in a new shell walking around within five minutes. I love it when they're decisive!

Thanks! My ~350 lbs of substrate is doing fine.

Your conditions sound fine. Unfortunately, it's unlikely you'd be able to smell a dead crab beneath the substrate. It usually doesn't get past it. Some crabs are just chill and sit around a lot. With your conditions and the active crab, I'd say your cocohut guy is just a personality thing. For the b...

I do literally the exact same as daws. Pretty sure we have the same dishes (haven't we talked about this before?). Here are my pools: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170121/46fec38be6a8330e13dd450eccb1530b.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170121/0aa2426dbe6e201defd04139654eecce.jpg Sent fro...

This is what I did with my baskets: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170121/03dd4e9c7d1712fcdaa626465238b29d.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170121/377399cbd8eefb3820386d2323902a0a.jpg If you look closely you can see that the edge is cut to make it slant at the angle I wanted on both of the...

Thank you so much for the replies, everyone! I really appreciate it. EadvEnturEs - Oooh! I hadn't thought about doing a false bottom - but I'll be researching it, now, too, as I think I've heard it helps if you get a flood issue...? I'm going to have to look for more shower caddy stuff. The ones I ...

Okay, so after quite a bit of reading, I really didn't find anything rock solid for a play sand/EE mix recipe, other than 5:1. Basically, what I'm wanting to know is how many EE bricks (moistened with dechlorinated water) do I use, per 50lb bag of play sand? I'm attempting to plan a 50gallon setup,...

Happy to help!

Thanks GB! She's a little terror - just what I was looking for!

She got a side of my breakfast this morning: oatmeal & strawberries.

Thank you! And nope, it's just super awesome! It's a vine I ordered off Amazon.

Thanks guys!! My first tenant, Luna, is here safe and sound. She's from a knowledgeable crabber that needed to rehome for personal reasons, so I took her only remaining E. She's recently up from a molt and from good conditions, so she shouldn't be hiding much! She's not afraid of anything and is ver...
