Oh wow that's amazing! The one thing I would ask is that you make the substrate deeper. It is imperative that they have several inches of substrate to dig and molt in.

If you haven't checked out our care guides, please do so!

I got my crabs about 5 years now, and i'm from 2012 on the forum I already checked the care guides :p , just another tank, the substrate is deeper than you think it doesnt look that because the tank is very high, they like to climb :D
The tank is 1,20 meter high.

Wow, its amazing! I take that the total height (including the stand) is 120cm high? Please don't tell me its the tank itself, if so... wow... :D

very creative! how many inches deep is your sub? I used eight 50lb bags and 6 bricks of eco in my 125g, so with a 220g I would think that you need more than 150lbs? Make sure that sub is nice and deep! With that size tank and all that height, I would go no less than 13 inch. We would love to see pics of the inside and your crabs exploring too!

Your tanks are amazing, I'm very jealous of your decorative skills. XD

Keep them pictures coming. Its beautiful. If you ever add the extra substrate, I'm sure the crabs will love the extra space to dig around in... Not to mention, its not going to affect the climbing space at all! :lol:
