Love the stand. Was that included? Fits perfectly if not.

Looking good so far!! And you have a bigger tank than you thought. Good way to keep from guessing size is to multiply LxWxH then divide that answer by 231. ;)

These are standard 75g measurements. It's 78.5 gal if one does the math. Definitely big difference from a 65g in which you thought. :)

I am exhausted! Tired crab mom! Came across every single one of their original shells they came to me in. They were so teeny tiny! The smallest shell opening was 1/4 in. The smallest crabs shell opening in my tank currently is 1 in. Image
