New tank set-up

Post by dolphinlover » Fri Jul 16, 2021 7:12 pm

So I got my 55 gallon tank set up for my hermits! Squid loves it…He has more room to dig and I’m working on things for him to climb! SpongeBob and Jengles are liking it so far, but don’t seem to be climbers. SpongeBob climbed on the stand that I made for them when he was in the other tank but only seen it once. I’m waiting for Patrick to come from molting in my smaller tank so I can transfer him..I was surprised when I seen SB and Jengles come up from molting. They were down for a month and half! Here are some pics. Any idea would be appreciated. Not sure how to hang some stuff up higher and for my crabs to be able to get to them! I have a hammock in one corner with a basket of shells under it and a moss pit under there too. I plan to switch out the pools to different bowls cause I don’t like the ones I have in there. Don’t think they are deep enough and they take up to much room. I want to get some plants as well but have no clue what is best for them. My heat and humidity are in the range they are supposed to be. 77 (heat) and humidity (88+). The ramp that I used for the hammock is from one of the many we have in our yard. I’m thinking of getting a bigger (medium) size branch and boiling it first of course and putting in there for something to climb on. Image

Hi! For your concerns about plants, the HCA actually has a guide viewtopic.php?f=39&t=120839 that includes "great", "good", and "bad" plants! I hope that is helpful :)

Suction cups work great for hanging things…and some plants made for aquariums will already have suction cups on them!
