My hermit crab tank is finally finished! I just put the last bit of EE on tonight! I had such a hard time reaching some areas I hurt my back and ruined tons of clothes BUT it is all worth it cause I am DONE! I just have to add final touches and the crabs and that is when I will post more pics hopefully Saturday (next)!

So here are the pics!

















I am going to add moss and coco husk bedding inside the rock levels and I have a sea fan, 3 coco huts, a half log, 2 more driftwoods and some vines and things to add yet, but I have to wait for it to dry and clean them fron the old tank.

I am alittle worried cause the filters won't stick to the glass. I probably got some epoxy on it...so I have to scrape it with a razor blade to see if that will help. I guess it doesn't really matter cause the waterfall filter can stand on its own and the other I can get one suction to stick so it will work out I guess. I am just bummed cause I messed it up. I can see some glass behind the filters also so I plan on taping some background (from the old tank) to the outside to camouflage it. I think it should do the trick.

I think the crabs will really like it. It looks good I guess...I think it turned out better then I figured I could do anyways. I can't wait to see the waterfalls running; I haven't tried it yet. I have to wipe out the pools first.

let me know if it needs anything or if you have any suggestions for me. Thanks everyone for your help and advice! i am going to lay on a heating pad now lol! I'll check back later.

that looks GREAT!

thanks everybody! I did spend alot of money, time, and effort on this but it is worth it in the end. I'll get final pics and the crabs later. i have 8 crabs right now..so plenty of room for more. i have tiny to a smaller large. I want to add more..and I will show pics of the pools/waterfalls running and things it will look awesome! The pics don't really show off the levels good, so I can get better ones later too.

here are some more pics with closer pics of the levels and pool. It will look better once I get the waterfall going I think, but I want to wait for the crabs...well maybe I will test it out soon before I get the crabs in there..I wanted to clean it ou first anyays.












I think when I get the rest of the stuff in there it will look better also..and with when the crabs get in there you can have a better idea of the size compared to my crabbies!

Looks fantastic!
