55 gal setup

Post by frog » Mon Aug 24, 2020 12:13 pm

Here's my 55 gal tank I got in December. :) It was from a member on here and it came w the built in pools, glass lid, mesh lid, cork tile walls, waterfall.. I added more heat mats and a ceramic heat emitter. I also put the little glass divider in so the substrate could be deeper. There's also a waterfall and bubbler, but I need to buy new pumps. Its home to seven pp crabs.

Nice setup! Love all the foliage.

Careful on the light, if its a heat lamp. It can melt the middle brace if it gets a little too warm.

How many crabs do you have in there and how big are they?
