100 Gallon setup

Post by Pixilocks » Sat Mar 04, 2017 6:59 am

Hello everyone!

Firstly I just wanted to say, I haven't been too active on this forum, its been a heck of a year and ive struggled to keep my Hermie passion burning but Im back now and so i thought, whats better than a new set up? So here I am sharing with everyone :) Hoping to get back into Hermit Crabs big style!

I have had my crabs for 1 and a half years now, so far no deaths and all 6 are healthy but I was not happy with there tank at all, so I decided to design a new tank :banana:

So here is my new tank, Its an Exo Terra X-large X-Tall, comes in at 100 Gallons.

I am planning to upload a rather lengthy video, as me and my partner filmed the entire thing from the beginning :lol:

The hides are home made, all the wood pieces cut to size etc.

Image

We have a humidifier in there and a false bottom in case of floods. This is my partners favourite part of the build!

Image

The substrate measures in at 12 inches so there is plently of room.

My smallest and most boisterous Hermie! :crabbigsmile:

So thanks guys ill upload the full video soon!

This is why I love the larger tanks, more room to play around in. You did a lovely job, I really look forward to the vid once uploaded.
