These are the most beautiful pools I have ever seen. How difficult is it to keep them clean?

Not hard at all! I keep them above ground (otherwise, my little turd of a hermit crab, will drag ALL of his food into them). There's no holes in the rock bottom for dirt to get into, and they're fairly big so no hard to get to corners. :)

My hermits are spoiled too! 3 out of 4 have been with me for just barely a week now but all of them are still very skiddish and afraid even though they've got it good. Don't have to go far for food or water, they climb stuff, bury themselves, etc. Lucky jerks don't even have to get jobs! Lol
