92g Crabarium deep clean

Post by JediMasterThrash » Tue Aug 30, 2016 4:51 pm

Recent deep-clean of the 92-gallon Crabarium and it's 35 Crabizens. One crab was mid-molt but I used my in-tank iso chamber, and after a week he ate all his exo and was returned to the tank. Only lost 2 crabs in over a year, which is around 5%/year which is quite good I think. 50lbs of reused substrate + 150lbs of playsand + 3 bricks of cocofiber. Two tropicaire humidifiers, 2x25w daylight and UV 5.0 on timers, 2x25W of moonglo, and two rear side mounted UTH. 3-stage filters in each pool.

Is it bad that it says that I don't have permission to view the images on the post or is that how it was supposed to be :oops:

Wow!! That is a total job! Love your hermie pics!!! They are beautiful and look so happy and healthy :crabbigsmile: Like how you have the wood leading up to the various shell shacks. Are the baskets real wood? Also, how do you get the baskets to stay up like that? Love all the greenery!!
