I added Oak branches, a large piece of Cholla, Pipevine from my organic garden, and some plastic plants. The crabs were actually exploring it before I was done. I was surprised! I'm happy with how it turned out - but now I want to add toppers on all of my other tanks! LOL!!! I'll add a picture via Tapatalk.
could you post some more pics at different angles? i'd love to see all of it! this is incredible!

Re: Added a topper to my 100 gallon!
So I have finished the toppers to my 100 gallon and to my 75 gallon. I wish that I had never started on the 55! Lol!! I took the bottom of another 55 gallon off, and have moved things up, but I will need a step stool to get into it. It’s way too tall! Things are paused. The hermits are loving it though. I’m trying to decide if I want to just splurge and get a 75 gallon tank for them (used of course), or deal with a step ladder for awhile....ugh. Decisions.GotButterflies wrote:Yes, I definitely will!

Re: Added a topper to my 100 gallon!
I definately need a step stool to reach into my 90 gal. I had to find the largest stool I could find. It's perfect.GotButterflies wrote:So I have finished the toppers to my 100 gallon and to my 75 gallon. I wish that I had never started on the 55! Lol!!

I am so jelly! My little 20 gal long and y'all are using step stools to get into your tanks! Hopefully someday I'll get there!

I’ll be moving my 55 to a different spot and get a 20 high topper. I want to do this for my 17th birthday

Re: Added a topper to my 100 gallon!
I guess for me I felt bad with my other tanks being wide. I wanted my 55 gallon 'tat to be taller to make up for it. Plus, I had the extra 55 gallon on hand, so I figured why not? Now I'm like why?
