HCA: Hermit Crab Association

From the couch view

Finally found a good upgrade that'll hold all my crabs. Substrate is low (3 EE bricks and my 20g tall substrate) until my crabs surface on the 37g so I can transfer the sub over. Everyone's cramped in the 37g until I can warm up the new tank - literally just need packaging tape. Ran into a dilemma with expanding the EE and accidentally got them stuck in the bucket unable to get them out for an hour....
Tank was a bit dirty so I cleaned it up, support bar broken no biggy. Came with a stand, ballast and working bulb, front piece of a broken glass marine land lid. The lid had the front piece with the handle so I just went and got a piece of plexiglass cut to cover the rest and duct taped the two together. All together it was under $100 (celebration woo). Their seashells should arrive by the time I figure out where I want to put them (perfectionist here) and arrangement wise... It's never finished but livable by morning.

Congrats on the upgrade! You need to get some more pics while the crabs are exploring it!

Sorry for the late post! Spring cleaning fever is strong in this house rn. So I got 7 crabs moved over to the new tank, waiting on only 5 now in the 37g.
Everything has been put in the new tank because it all can fit (yuuussss!!) Besides the low (8-10 in) sub level (the rest is in the 37g with my molters), adding in a new pineapple top, some more branches/ladders filling in the open area it's pretty much done. The temp and humidity is almost perfect at sub level (94%/75°) but in the top right corner where it's connected to a corner caddy moss pit next to a heater it's around 64%/91° and YET Baby, Kaylee and their other mates all still gravitate toward that one moss pit. Baby actually is inseparable from it except for food n water. Pictures of the tank and Freckles (who I have had for a year and hasn't grown bigger than a teeny) below.

Amazing set up! Love it! Think how excited your molters will be when they surface.
Hurry "up" lil guys!!

Looks awesome! Nice job. I like how the second levels are graduated like that-very creative.
