I got inspiration to build these from I picture I found on Google. In the past my crabs have been scared of bubblers but we'll see how they like these new pools

Those look great! Please know that hot glue usually doesn't hold up very well in water. Most people use aquarium glue. What kind of storage containers did you use? I really like them!

I'll keep that in mind, it was a pain just trying to get them to stick. The containers are just plastic boxes I picked up cheap yesterday from Menards, the plastic is pretty thick and it was a challenge to cut the lids down to size to use as ramps.
