Looking good! Nice piece of cholla wood!

OMG... Congrats! New tanks are so exciting!

(And I had no idea that you didn't have crabs, lol!)

Just a little bit of pre-planning [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I love the idea of using the kitchen strainer! the shell shop container is cute too, I might have to hit up the dollar store and copy you I've followed you on instagram as I am in the setup process too and your pics are great inspo!

Alright, here's the semi final product! I am done for now, all I need is more shells (on their way) and to hook up the bubblers. We're letting the heat even out also. I'm going to reach out to a couple of Craigslist ads this week. Hopefully crabs by Sunday!

Looks really good!!! There are definitely a few things that I would like to recommend to you though
1) the fish net should be spread out. Having it like you do would allow a hermit crab to get tangled in it very easily.
2) I would get your Acurite digital gauge off of the substrate. The hermits will knock it over, and if it gets substrate into the back of it, it will malfunction.
3) I also recommend hanging the modified hamster wheel upside down on the back, front or side of the tank. This will prevent hermits from going under the wheel you should also provide a step up for them like a rock or something

Yes, thank you for the suggestions. I will take it under advisement.

The net looks like it's clumped together, but it's not. I specially designed it with a thicker cord and knots close together. It is "spread out"

Thank you! My husband (who generally not handy at all) helped me make the modified hamster wheel upon your glowing recommendation. He felt very empowered using his drill which he doesn't get to use very often.
