Air stones at max should be $1.50.

I bought 2 smaller ones from Walmart for around $1. I also got a larger one for free as an add on from Amazon(It was $1.50 if purchased). The smaller ones from WM work better than the larger one. When I set my bigger tank up, I plan on using the two smaller ones in the FWP and the larger one in the SWP on 2 separate pumps.

I think I have $15 in my air stones and "whisper" pump...

I didn't have much luck with the probe maybe you will

I was just planning on getting all my stuff from the fish section at Meijers. It's not too expensive, and I think I'm gonna run both of the airstones off of one pump using a T valve. Save some electricity.

If the humidity is off I think I'm just going to remember how much it is off by. Hopefully not too much of a difference though.

My correct gage is reading 88 % this probe reads 99 % no matter where i put it its very sensitive

I guess I'm hearing mixed reviews about it then. I think I'll give it a shot, because I want one with a probe that I can just dangle into the crabitat so the moisture won't break the gauge.

I ordered my Seachem Prime 500 mL and Instant Ocean 25 gal box. I hope it works okay, and that the crabs like it better than what I currently have.

Up next - Digital Thermometer/Hydrometer, then an Aquarium Hood. Might insulate the tank somewhere in there as well.

One pump will probably be sufficient, but I bought the smallest pump available and it barely bubbles my FWP now. I couldn't imagine it with a T-Valve in 2 pools lol. I'd spend $15 more dollars and get a bigger pump, but for me it's easier to use the 2 tiny ones I have...

My tank is a constant upgrade, lol. My wife says I need to find a second job just to cover the crabs!

Tried to buy a t vavle tonight pet smart only sells metal ones which is bad for the crabs guess i have to order online I'm so mad because i have everything else i got a small pump too maybe i should return it for a stronger one this one was a mini 5 gallon i figured for a water pool it should work fine ?

Hahaha, I know how that feels. My friends make fun of me for it, but if only they knew how addicting hermits can be...

Fun to make your own fish nets but, on the other hand, much easier and cheaper just to buy a bag of fishnet from the arts and craft store like Hobby Lobby or Miachels.

Hello, you may want to consider getting a heating pad from reptile basics also. They really thrive in the mid to upper 80's.

Hmm... the T valve I found is fairly cheap, I don't think it's metal, but next time I go to Meijers I could double check. https://www.meijer.com/product/pet-care ... 324210.uts
