I know they make other shower caddies that aren't made to fit corners, you could try that too.

I had a long one before for my 20-gallon but the crabs kept picking at the suction cups and knocking it down. There was moss every where.

Another thing some people have done is use a basket from the dollar store and drill or poke small holes into it to hang it on command hooks.

This looks awesome. I need a bigger tank. Where can I buy isopods?

Many of us order from isopod connection. I don't know how to post outside links here.

I've been considering using long strings and a command hook OUTSIDE my tank to hang stuff up...that way I don't have the issue of the humidity making my suctions come off...but I think you could use the same idea with plain suctions as well. Just an idea.

Yes, this is Chippy. He is currently molting. (My first molt with me.) He's been down for 5 weeks now. I have 3 Straws total.

I add to it once a month. I buy a large bag from home depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Mosser-Lee-4 ... /202745057 It's organic so it's safe and cheap!

Stacey is great! I have purchased from her twice! I recommend the powder blues - very active!

I use the command hooks with the velcro like back for 16lbs on the inside of my tank and they hold great! I don't use them for really heavy things though. Just fish net. The only thing that I use strings for as well as the command hooks are on my hamster wheels. The crabs get on there in groups and a few times I got up in the am and the wheels were down so I outsmarted them with the string. Now they never fall.

I ran across this somewhere and decided it would be neat. I used a pint sized mason jar to make a cave

How do you guys keep the sand on top of the mason jar caves. I have to replace it every morning cause the crabs dig it off.
