Hello Bonnie,

which tank are you talking about?
The transition tank?
or the juvenile tank?

Both tanks, like my big tanks, are bought. I only built up the zones, the backgrounds and stuff.
Love sincerly,

thank you!
Maybe I understand it wrongly again...

I just tried to contruct it like my big tanks.

We bought a cork back wall and saw it that it fits in the juvenile tank. We stick some cok parts on it.
Cut some platic plants and insert them into the back wall. We bought some small cork brunches and coral stones. Some tiny mussles.
A little bit of moss. A part of sand, a part of coconut ground. At least some living plants and some leaves. And that's it.

in the transition terrarium we only put in moss, sand and coconut ground. Two tiny pieces of coral stones. Plus some tiny mussels.
We cut (saw) some coconut shell pieces as a ramp and a place to hide.

All individualized and custom work.

The small tanks are like Legoland :) The big terrarium world in a small version :P
Love sincerly,

We need a new name for new born crabs. Micro just doesn't seem to cut it. They are SUPER cute and SUPER tiny. the little miniscule shells are just the most adorable thing. I want to follow in your foot steps one day and try to breed hermits. Maybe there will be more info out by then to help me along. i'm sure a large chunk of the info will be because of you, curlz.

;) thx

I do my best. But even after 11th attemps I feel like I know nothing. I can do all steps at the same way, but it failed so often.

I try to help where I can. So keep on trying @ all! To see more of this adorable miniscule shells running around :)
