Been Lurking for a few months, new member My 29g set up

[Leanne0428]

After a trip to the beach this summer, my daughter wanted a hermit crab. We passed on the crabs at the beach bc I had a hunch they needed more than what was being provided there. Boy was I right! We did quite a bit of research and decided to get crabbing This was supposed to be for her but I have fallen head over heels for them. We currently have a 29g crabitat with 6pp. Just wanted to pop in and say hello and thanks for all the great info and resources on this site!

This is a beautifully set up tank, job well done. Next time you head to the store, you could pick up another corner shower caddy and use it as a soil or moss pit, just put the plastic plant around it, kind of screen it in. Anyways, just an idea, but it's very impressive

I'm always looking for new ideas! I feel like I have a mile long list of things I want to do lol
It's funny bc I just added that shower caddy today and one of my molters decided to show himself and go explore it which thrilled me to pieces bc he is normally my "grumpy" crab and doesn't tend to climb much. I love watching them climb and explore anything new placed in their home.

wow beautiful! Its great that you did you research first and then set everything up correctly the first time! Most of us learned the hard way, before we got everything just right. Welcome to the crab-obsession!
