HCA: Hermit Crab Association

There is an Aquarium store that suddenly announced on November 21st that they were going out of business. Starting on Tuesday, Nov 23rd - there next business day, everything in the store would be 50% off. Everything!!!!

Pictures to come of my upgrade in progress.

Second level corner guards drilled and installed

Ultratherm and insulation put on back of tank and false bottom constructed and installed in tank.

Hopefully less blurry

Question for everyone

I picked up the sand from LOWES but it was outside which is currently about 32 degrees F.

What can I do to heat it up prior to putting it in the tank????

Maybe put it in the oven at 50-150 degrees for a little while? It is how some people (including me) sanitize their substrate, so you would be sanitizing and warming it.

P.S. Corgrats on the new tank

You can also use hot/warm water to moisten it.

I'm assuming you mean the corner shower caddy?

That is going to be the shell shop.

I still have to do 2 moss pits and some fauna around the top as well.

I have the same tree ornament, and it is my absolute favorite! It's a hide, a huge climbing toy, and it looks super cool
