Very cool. turned out great! I've always been interested in trying a topper. I think after seeing this I'm going to start searching for whats possible on a 75g... Thank you for sharing this.

Thank You.

Is there anyway to get imgur to embed pictures? does the forum support that? I haven't had any success. Is there any other place like imgur or photobucket that is supported? I used to have a photobucket, but now prefer imgur.

How do we view the pictures? I can never see Photobucket pictures.

Personally, if he's up and moving around, i'd get him in the bigger tank.

I'm currently waiting on one of my smaller guys to come up from a molt to transfer him over to my bigger tank.

I did ammonia testing in one of my fw pools for a couple weeks - I found that the first week it took four days before the ammonia went up (and then it spiked pretty hard, but because a couple of isopods had wandered in & drowned). The next week the crabs were all about dragging stuff into the pools...

I am unable to view your pictures. Hmm... I never thought of hermit crabs eating banana leaves. I have a banana tree in my organic garden, and my friend owns 5. All this time I have composted leaves that have broken. I agree with Wode that crabs are opportunistic - but if given an ideal environment...

From what I've seen, read and researched, a lot of the factors to keeping more is making sure they are always fully satisfied in their diet. variety is huge in the area i feel. If they aren't lacking a staple in their diet, they are generally docile and non-aggressive. I COULDLN'T AGREE MORE WITH T...

The reason why no one does pool dividers is that they will fail, possibly in a week, possibly in a couple of years, flooding the rest of the tank and potentially drowning any molters. Plexi dissolves silicon over time creating epic massive failures, and new silicon does not bond with old silicon so...

they sold it as an 85 and found that that size really doesn't exist in the realm of standard sized aquariums. That's because larger tanks don't actually contain the entire gallons they are sold as. Some have smaller dimensions than normal, or by measuring the actual water it can hold it comes out t...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks! I can't seem to stop putting things in there. And yet even though it's 90 gal it's crowded. I thought it was a 75. I thunk it was angelcrab that said she has a 75. I have a 90 and it's so crowded. Lol The only difference from a 75 to a 90 is 2 inches of he...

That is amazing! How did you cut the hole in the side of your tank for the piping? I’m probably not talented enough for the infinity pool, but if I could just pipe the pools into a bucket that would make my life so much easier than the dreaded turkey baster. This was the first time I did anything t...

Dude, I had 60-some in a 135G for years without issues until those stupid ants. I go with the flow these days but I have always personally thought the newer recommendations were a little too conservative. From what I've seen, read and researched, a lot of the factors to keeping more is making sure ...
