I have a 65 gallon now, and before that I had a 55 gallon. I hope to reinstate the 55 gallon soon. I also have a 30 gallon topper I need to throw back on one of the tanks.

Re: What Size Crabitats Does Everyone Have?
I have a 29 G with a 15 G topper since they are the same depth and fit perfectly. This allows me to access both levels. One corner of the 15 G bottom has been cut out allowing access for the hermies. Both levels have a side heating element and the bottom has two pools, one freshwater and one saltwater. Both pools have filtration and ramps along with a heater for the saltwater pool. To access the second level which is covered in spagnum moss, they use one of three climbing tools - the thick grape vine that is curved to access both levels, the wooden ladder or the hemp rope.There are bridges over the pools as well and a cork wall to climb on. On top level there is the food and the hamster wheel. Down below there is the substrate and more hidey places. I will try and post a picture but not sure how yet.
I'm thinking of expanding and putting a 20Long in-between the two but I don't want it to tip over. I'm thinking of ways to anchor it in the wall somehow.

Re: What Size Crabitats Does Everyone Have?
I started with a critter keeper (didn’t know any better) and 1 crab, went to a 5 gallon for the same OC, then a 20 gallon when I added my 2nd crab, and now my 40 gallon breeder has a total of 5 crabs, all medium PPs...and this is all since October of this past year, lol. Should last me a while until they start getting bigger. I won’t be upset when it’s time to upgrade again...love designing their crabitats!

Re: What Size Crabitats Does Everyone Have?
I have Aqueons 75 and 29, both with toppers and on stands to be connected with a tunnel. Should be a total of about 125 when it's done.
