This might be a dumb question but is there a good way to change the water without dumping all the pebbles out or do I just dump them out and put them back in? How Do you guys change your water dishes and how often?

I bought a strainer that I use specifically for my hermit crab pools. It is easier to clean the pools this way. I dump the entire pool into the strainer, rinse the pebbles really good, wipe out the pools, and then put it all back together.

Thank you for being so helpful to me! Just to verify, is it okay that I rinse my pebbles and water dishes in regular sink water as long as I fill them back up with the proper dechlorinated water?

Yw! That is what I do. Some people rinse all of their stuff with dechlorinated water. I personally don't.
