I guess with time I will develop a good method of keeping up with substrate Maintence. I don't know if it's possible to prepare the Eco earth ahead of time and let it dry out before it is placed in the crabitat along with the sand.

You can totally do that! I had a bunch of loaf bags that i filled with prepared sub and put it in my extra freezer. I'm just paranoid about bugs laying eggs in my sub for a future surprise

Awesome :) now to find Another storage bin or two (shouldn't be too hard) I'm glad there's a few stores nearby and that they sell storage bins :)

I had to do my first deep clean In 1.5 years a couple months ago because I discovered flooding but when I started bringing up the old substrate the smell knocked me over. I had been missing a crab but had no death smell until I started rolling the EE and it was rank!!! Have no idea where the flooding came from.
Good luck!
