90 Gal think tank!
90 Gal think tank!
I'm getting my 90 gal tank ready. I'm in the process of buying a new house, so naturally I needed to upgrade my crabs house too!
This is going to be a long process before it's actually going to be running. So ideas are appreciated! I have a few ideas but with all those awesome tanks out there I'm sure some one has better ones!
I have 3/8" acrylic rods, 10" in length, that I have drilled holes in to mount on the walls of the tank with aquarium silicone. A good friend of mine mentioned taping the rods to the tank while they are drying. Good thought!
Im also looking for big pieces of cholla wood. Any help with that or other helpful ideas for the tank would be awesome!
These guys would appreciate it!

Re: 90 Gal think tank!
I can't wait to give them all a bigger and better home! Poseidon is huge! Maybe with the bigger tank I'll think about looking for a specie buddy for her- since she's my only Indo.
Check her out!
Also here is what my tank currently looks like. I do reorganize weekly to keep it interesting, but this is the general layout.

Re: 90 Gal think tank!
In the first and last picture of the current crabitat, is that one of those magnetic branches I see? How well does it work? I've been toying with the idea of getting one but am hesitant to spend scare disposable income on something that's a so-so.
BTW, Poseidon is a stunner!

Re: 90 Gal think tank!
Oh I love magnaturals. Poseidon, loves them too.
They add so much dimension to the tank. Those super strong magnets really do hold up well. Not to mention because they are easily removable it makes cleaning a breeze. I've got two big ledges, and a vine. The vine has a magnet at each end- which Poseidon clipped with her massive claw one day. So I just zip tie the other end. I want to get a small one or two when I get the bigger tank. But I love them.

Re: 90 Gal think tank!
I'm wondering about my 18" cork bark. I was thinking about cutting off a strip and making it a corner piece. That way it won't cover too much of my UTH. I'm just wondering if any one could give me any info on how they put it in their tank, dig it into the sub? Does it mess with the heating? Any other tips on such a big piece would be lovely!
