HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Here is my first build, thanks to all the wonderful and creative ideas I have gotten here! I will change a couple of things but I am very happy so far! Check out the "victory lap" at the end!

It really looks great!

Wow, nice! It looks so natural and fun for them to explore. Much better than my first attempt at setting up my 55.

Wow, I really like it! One thing I would like to know is how you made those levels out of sticks... Mostly zip ties & dedication?

Thanks! And yes, the second level is a bundle of bamboo-like sticks from Dollar tree, and lots of zip ties! Another $2 project!

Great job! That's a really fabulous tank -- in fact, I'd like to vacation in place that looked like that !

Very natural, I love it!

Thanks, Jarteta97 . I printed out a photo of your 90 gallon and had it out for reference!

Why did you use for your water bowls? How do you replace the water with out spilling the dirt in the whole where the bowl is?? I have a major issue in spilling water and dirt everywhere when I replace my water!

To change the water, I use a little siphon that I bought at work (NAPA Auto parts). I siphon out the old water into a bucket and refill using a funnel with a long flexible tube on the end (also from work! Lots of good finds at the parts store!)

Wow. Well, I'm glad I could help

It could never be as awesome as yours but I tried!

haha, no, I love yours. You've actually given me a lot of ideas

dannnng that's nice! I have to step up my game!

Cool! I love the bamboo platforms. I'm going to have to steal that idea and make something similar!
