Huge tank redo
The tank was getting boring. So I spent some money.... and re-decorated. The usual
I realized there was a lot more space that could be used up in my tote. I went to work creating more climbing space for the crabs. I wanted there to be a lot of new things for them to try out, so here it is...
To start off, I shifted the topper to the left so there was a larger ledge on one side instead of two small ones. So far I like it like that with all the plants in there...the crabs like it too, they spend most of their time there.
Directly under the entrance to the topper there is a small shower caddie suspended from the tote lid. I'm going to put moss in it once I get around to finding some.
Here is the full right side. There's two coconut huts and a lot of plants.
The net in there is connected to the lid and the side of the tote.
In the front of the tank I attached some shells to the lid for the crabs to climb on. I did this in my old 20g tank and the crabs seemed to have fun trying to climb up it (they tried, never succeeded lol.) I just put that in today, I'm excited to see what they think of it.
Water dishes are in the center, I added a bubbler to one of them, it's been a while since I've had those in.
On the left side there's the shells. Above the ground there is a wood swing. I haven't seen any crabs on it yet, we'll see if they ever touch it
