I am new to the HCA and have just recently upgraded our crabitat to a 75g tank from a 20g this past week!! Super Exciting!! We have 15 crabs total currently, approximately 6 are above ground and the rest have dug themselves under. We used 12 blocks of eco earth to fill the tank up to about 6 to 7 inches of substrate throughout the entire tat. I would ideally like to have 3 to 5 more inches in that tat, what do you think??? We currently have two watering holes ( fresh and salt water ) though my hubby wants to attempt to make one from plexiglass with bubblers.... we shall see how this works
Since we just updated the tat size we ordered some lovely additions of climbing apparatuses and natural shells for the hermies just waiting on their arrival ( thinking about adding another level with a moss pit -- though the humidity level has stayed very constant and no issues as of late. Everyday we are learning new things about these amazing guys and gals and joined the HCA to help improve our crabitat and the health of our crabbies. Looking at the forums and comments from all the members gives an awesome feeling of constructive feedback!! Excited to be apart of the group!!!The Beast (75g tat)
I definitely recommend a moss pit if you have room for it - even if your humidity is stable, most crabs love to hang out in the moss and eat it.
And what meg said about the moss is all too true, I always pick out 21 crabs in there when I clean it, like clockwork. Plus, it'll be more at eye level so you'll get to see them more easily.
