Huge tank redo

Post by hermitcrabdc » Wed Sep 07, 2016 2:56 pm

The tank was getting boring. So I spent some money.... and re-decorated. The usual :lol:
I realized there was a lot more space that could be used up in my tote. I went to work creating more climbing space for the crabs. I wanted there to be a lot of new things for them to try out, so here it is...
Image
To start off, I shifted the topper to the left so there was a larger ledge on one side instead of two small ones. So far I like it like that with all the plants in there...the crabs like it too, they spend most of their time there.
Image
Directly under the entrance to the topper there is a small shower caddie suspended from the tote lid. I'm going to put moss in it once I get around to finding some.
Image
Here is the full right side. There's two coconut huts and a lot of plants.
Image
The net in there is connected to the lid and the side of the tote.
Image
In the front of the tank I attached some shells to the lid for the crabs to climb on. I did this in my old 20g tank and the crabs seemed to have fun trying to climb up it (they tried, never succeeded lol.) I just put that in today, I'm excited to see what they think of it.
Image
Water dishes are in the center, I added a bubbler to one of them, it's been a while since I've had those in.
Image
On the left side there's the shells. Above the ground there is a wood swing. I haven't seen any crabs on it yet, we'll see if they ever touch it :?

It looks really good! I'm sure the crabs are loving it!
