I got one similar to that last year; it was pretty good.
Where are you going on vacation?

zachary, it looks like a cool idea to keep the water bowl filled while you are away for extended periods of time. however be CERTAIN you have no small crabs in the tank with those things. i have seen drowned tinies in pet stores because they crawl in those things and they are so slippery they cant get back out again. before filling it take your smallest crab and stick him/her inside and wait to see if they can get out without trouble.

I would also put a dish or tile or something similar underneath them so that the crabs can't fill the bowl part with substrate because that'll wick all the water out and cause a big flood.

I used one of those before. They work great. It was hard to get it turned upright without spilling it, though.

I actually made a craft project out of it to make it more natural looking in my ISO tank. That way I wont have to bother new babies as much when they are destressing.

It just attached with a few circles of velcro to hold the sides on, and a suction cup for the plant. It makes for really easy clean up and refills. The sides are covered in coco climbing background that I cut to size. I value your feedback![/img]http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x292 ... ins011.jpg
