salt water
I'm new to the HCA but I have a Question I use API Aquarium salt for my salt water Ive had one successful molt and working on one now. But I have recently seen a video on youtube that this salt is bad another video said it was good. I am so confused. I have also had my crabs for 4 months.
Re: salt water
I believe that API Aquarium Salt is meant for freshwater aquariums, not saltwater aquariums so it won't actually harm your crabs but won't help them either. Two of the best saltwater aquarium brands are Instant Ocean and Sea Prime: these mixes ensure that the water contains the ocean minerals needed by both saltwater fish and hermit crabs.
PPs are Big Enzo, Charles Paris and Mr Pinch

Re: salt water
It's already been covered, but yes, a marine grade saltwater is necessary for hermit crabs.
Instant Ocean and Oceanic are both fine to use.
