Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow! Good luck! I wish I could help you out, but I think my two hate me because they've been down for two months now.

Thank you! Half of mine went down to molt once I started doing recording sessions, so I know how that feels!

I too would have a hard time measuring, but I have a funny clip to contribute... This is a short video of my largest PP pushing another one off the food dish. Lol. The larger one is female (Hermione) and she’s considered a large I think, wearing 1 & 1/4” shell opening. She’s pretty chill, but defin...

I just happened to video this one. The still shot shows you who the are. The smallest greenis a blind male, Stevie Wonder. He must either hear or smell me, and he runs off. The large male on the left took a turn on the hamster wheel for a good 10 hours and I believe he was a little hungry. Large fe...

Hi there, Im wrapping up my 325 gal setup after some various delays. I have a 5gal tank that will serve as the saltwater pool for the crabs, but I wanted to make it as alive as possible. The whole crabitat is designed to be bioactive. Therefore, i need some advice from salt aquarium savvy people on ...

Thanks so much!!

For the 130, I am not sure since I do not know the dimensions, but you could probably get the longest ones and put them together.

Is there a post anyone has made for UTH sizing? I'm ordering some ultratherms for a 55gal and a 130 gal and would prefer not to have to use heat lamps additionally.
Thanks!!

Recently got 5 ecuadorians when visiting Florida to buy shells and vacation. They were giving the sick away so I took the smallest off their hands for buying a bunch of shells. Go figure, they're ALL females >. < Either way, they are beautiful and have a variety of colors after their first molt. Thi...

Thanks for the input! I got one square of plexi today that's about 1/4 of an inch thick because they were out of everything else [emoji47] I guess I'll end up replacing if it doesn't work! Also, I have a colony of springtails I've been keeping for the tank only to find out that I have the same speci...

Ok decided to use my 40 breeder that I currently have as a topper for this tank! It happens to fit perfectly. [emoji1]

Fantastic! I thought it was strange to see mycelium but I didn't think about it hard enough lol. Anyone have suggestions on what to tip this thing with? It's 16.4inches wide and about 17 long per...square indent? Not sure what to call it. Thinking 3 plexiglass panels and one screened section with a ...
