Try right clicking and open in new tab
I thought using the Img was how you hot linked the pictures embedded in your post..
when I right click it takes me to dropbox and it opens the pictures in dropbox...
Sorry I am new to posting pictures.. if someone can PM me or explain a better way or a better picture host I will use it.. Please do,I want to embed the pictures in my post

Okay. I still can't get them to work. Maybe its just me. Can you view them when clicked?? An easier way to upload pics/videos is to download tapatalk app on tablet or smartphone. Then search for hermit crab association.

The links worked better and are working now However, one has to be on the site for it to work. Links don't work in the app.

I've never tried other pic sites. I just downloaded tapatalk app and found this forum. Works like a charm.

Wow!! Looks very cool!! Love the pic of the hermie playing around on the top level What did u use to make the second level platform? And is the top tank attached to the bottom with Velcro or something or are they able to just sit on top of each other?

Dude that is absolutely awesome! Great work. I'm sure the others will figure out how to get up there and love it.

Thank You to all that replied.. I painstakingly separated the bottom of the aquarium bottom with a very thin razorblade, old school double edged and a pair of vice grip pliers.. Had home depot cut the mdf 1/4 inch fiberboard and siliconed some plexy glass on top of it so it would be water proof.. Cutting the rectangles out with a jig saw before using silicone to adhere it back to the bottom of the tank.. It is currently off the bottom tank now. I am making some major modifications. It really does not need 2 access holes, so plugging one up. The other hole just used up too much valuable real estate and way to much substrate was going down the hole. Going to use some wood molding 3 or 4 inch high (the fancy part on the inside so you can see it) to build a retaining wall on 3 sides to keep all the substrate from going down the hole (didn't think about how destructive those crabbies are, lol!) I need to modify the lower crabitat a little bit and make the walk up the ramp a little less steep so it is easy for all the hermies to get up to the second level. Going to carpet the 2 or 3 wooden dowels with that coconut fiber mat so they can grip on it easy on their way up. I will use the other vine and grape tree vine for climbing on, when I get to that stage decorating the upper level. For right now the upper tank is just sitting on top of the bottom tank and seems secure. But the velcro idea sounds like a great piece of advice! At least it wont slip that way. Thanks!! Having no access to the bottom tank might or might not be a problem.. filling a small bowl with water and food for the bottom level is a bit of a hassle but until I know all the hermies get the idea that the new food and water place is upstairs and I know they can make it up there or know a reason to get up there (the monster one is always active and wants to explore) I will gradually cut off the food and water to the lower level, because to be honest it is just a pain to move the upper tank for access. I am sure they will all catch on eventually. Specially when they figure they can totally submerge themselves and take a decent bath on the second level! Stay tuned for new decor in the upper and lower tanks! Thanks for your interest! ~ Craig
