Glass Moss Pit

Post by ErikRasmussen » Tue Dec 13, 2016 9:09 pm

I have had so many different types of moss pits but I got so tired of the moss getting pushed out into the sub. I even tried just digging out a little area for moss but the crabs moved it everywhere. So this time I made a glass one. At first I had it under the substrate but i decided I didnt like how it looked and how much room it took up. So now its just sitting on top of the rock hill in my tank. Hopefully it will stay cleaner. I dont think they have discovered it yet. Or if they have i cant tell because its clean!

looks really cool. I may try that. I like the way it looks buried personally. Question. it looks like you used hot glue to hold the climbing rocks on. Is there any risk of crabs eating that? I was thinking of making some things for my crabitat recently and I was wondering about that.

Best bet would be to use aquarium safe silicon (aka: silicone that says on the package that its safe for aquariums.) Hot glue will deteriorate over time in high humidity - but, it is crab safe.
