Pools in crabitat
Ok so I have been wanting to do fresh and salt water pool but I don't know how to do them? What do I use to keep the water and substrate away like how some people put like glass or something and do a gradual slope.... So please help me

Re: Pools in crabitat
What type of bowls/pools do you use currently hermit guy?
I use square glass bowls dug almost level with the ground, leaving a bit out so that the crabs have to climb up and in. A lot of people put large flat rocks, a section of pure gravel, glass pebbles etc. around the pool to prevent it from becoming as soiled, but I find I do not need it. There are plenty of options to choose and play around with e.g. Still, waterfalls, bubblers, filters, small VS large etc. there should be tons of this stuff in the water section if you haven't had a scan of that, otherwise, sing out some more specific questions please!

Re: Pools in crabitat

With a piece of glass (see your local shower screen store and get them to smooth the top edge) and silicone (must be suitable for aquariums)
