Maitnence free crabbing
Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2006 5:18 am
I was looking foward to doing this for my next deep clean. Taking hermit crabbing to another level.
Timers for humidity and temprature, absolute humidity hydrometer, Hidden tubes for bubble dishes, custom lighting, pumps for new water/waterfall ect. This will be in a 20-30 gallon tank , im still deciding. What im basically trying to accomplish here is a less maitnence tat, with exact replicatition of a natural habbitat.
what I plan to accomplish:
1. A sort of.. waterfall, with a large/medium sized dish that recycles water, and makes a waterfall in one of thier dishes.I can get tubing and stuff through another retailer.
2. Timers that would turn on the humidity pump and heating sources until the temprature was back to acceptable levels, these would of course be set to only go off when the temp/ humidity drop below 60, like an emergency backup.
3. Tons of climbing toys, however I need help figuring out natural things I can put in.
4. EXACT humidity and temprature.
5. good lighting system, moon glo's, sun glo's, and some other lights like that.
Would I be able to put plexiglass on top but still have a heat lamp on top of it, or would it melt the glass?
What I currently need help on; Finding a digital hydrometer that is strictly for measuring humidity, anyone know where this can be had from?
