10 gal tank gets real small real quick with 2 water bowls! I use a 2.5 cup capacity glass miso soup bowl. Very deep but very narrow footprint. I fill it with big river rocks and there's a hemp net that goes over the end of the pool. No lifeguard on duty so we gotta play safe. FW i use a 3" sq sushi plate. Completely glazed and sq so it fits in corners. FW is changed daily, and although nowhere near as deep as msw pool , they can climb in to soak if they needed. In the few months ive been crabbin' ive only seen them dip in msw.

I've been doing the doubled Tupperware thing too:) Comes in all kinds of sizes which is also helpful and if there is a molter underneath they will still be left undisturbed Image
