Started placing new objects where I want them. Hopefully I'll start mixing sub over the next few days. My screen top was just delivered today. Hope to be set up by next week!

Most of my crabs are in the moss pit, which will be easy to transplant into the 75G. Wish I could read their thoughts when they come up!

I hope I can have it perfect by the end of next week. Then make the switch the following week...

Also - what did you use to make your pools out of? I've been thinking about using KK for the pools, since they're tall and can reach the top of the sub. But I've also heard they crack so I'd be careful of that.

They're KK's, I've used them in the past and the only time I've ever had them crack is while I'm moving them. I may order a few more and double them so it can be a little stronger.

Ok. Not sure why but I feel just as excited about seeing your tank set up as I was when I was setting up our 55g! :lol: That's awesome that ur hermies like to huddle down in the moss pit together :D How are your students enjoying their new crabbie classmates?

They love them. I have a few that have taken interest in helping me feed and keep up the crabitat.

Today's project is to begin moving sub into the new tank!
