I am now worrying I am being too hands off with my colony. I haven't done a deep clean ever. I have two tanks, 8 crabs, established for 1 year now. I found what I suspect are food mites on two of my crabs yesterday, and now I am wondering if i need to be cleaning more often and deeper than scooping out food and waste superficially.

The mites seem to only be in one tank, which isn't as tightly sealed at the top.

Thank you!
It's worth to dig down every once in a while and check for flooding, but deep cleaning?

Nah.
Currently the caretaker for:
Six hermies in 37G bow front, and two more in a ten-gallon tank.

I build websites, and blog about ebooks.
