HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Thank you all! I havent gotten the hermit crabs yet, just everything needed. The one thing I didnt do enough research on was the tank its self. I though a 10 or 15gal would be fine but didnt think about the heater and type of tank. I'll be going and buying a 20gal glass tank at Petco this weekend. T...

Thank you! I will see what others say. It's a pretty big mat. It goes to the lid from the top of the substrate after measuring it. Would cover about a quarter of the tank.

I just dont want to cause a fire in the middle of the night or day, or melt my tank.

Thanks!

So I'm building my crabitat, and have everything for the 10 gal tank we have. Sufficient substrate, everything. My concern: I bought a eco-life or zoo something 8wt heating pad. I just realized my tank is acrylic. The pad says to only use on glass. Does anyone actually use it on their acrylic tanks?...
