Transition Tank for Breeding Project

Here are my plans for a transition tank that I drew out pretty quick! The view of the aquarium is from the side with a smaller, sponge-filtered aquarium inside of it and substrate surrounding. What do you guys think? Any changes you would make?

That looks fabulous. What size will it be? How will you provide fresh water? What will you use for hides and climbs?
Your drawing is so pro!!

Thanks! I made it using google docs :p Freshwater's gonna be in a little cup up on the substrate. The smaller aquarium will be a 2.5 gallon and I haven't decided what size the larger one will be (probably a 20 something). Thanks for the input!

Also I'm planning on adding random little hides and climbs too :)

Hi there. If you really plan to do breeding attempts, do not use sponge as filter in marine salt water. No filter only daily water change and cleaning.
And keep all water tanks as clean as possible. No sand on the floor.

Do your hermits already hatch eggs or showing breeding behavior?
