Cleaning the crabitat
I am curious if you should or shouldn't clean the glass inside the tank? My glass is very wet from the humidity in my tank, which is good for the humidity, but it's obviously not good for crab watching. Is there a way I can or should clean it or should I just suck it up and deal with the moisture?

White vinegar is safe and works well. However, condensation is related to the high humidity so it will come back.

I figured it would come back, just wasn't sure if I should even bother. I've been trying to get pics of Shenzi and my two new Es to post but it's just so humid hahaha I think I'll clean it this weekend then take pics right away so I can post them!

Can you make small vents right on top the glass in front? That is usually enough to stop the condensation without sacrificing humidity.

I have a folding glass lid, and I've had it slid slightly back from the front of the tank to keep the humidity around 90%. I think it just has not been wiped down since I moved them in so that might help too. It's not a huge problem, just an annoyance hahaha

Re: Cleaning the crabitat
I just deal,with my condensation on my glass, because my humidity is as 100% most of the time, and when I change the water bowls, I usually will wipe it off and push down the substrate that tracks up on the glass.
