It was told to me repeatedly I needed to have deeper sub, 3x as deep as your biggest crab is tall. I freaked out that I was not doing what I should and spent two paychecks getting a bigger tank, 2 50lb play sand bags, ee, climbing things, wood, nets, a uth(don't buy zoomed uth, they are almost the same price as ultratherm but really really don't heat anything, it's what I did and I regret it) I rushed, but it can be done a little at a time, with the top priorities being heat/humidity, substrate and food/water. Your doing great

You hit the nail on the head! I've been thinking 'oh no we need bigger tank' I feel we've spent a small fortune so far! Image
