Re: Rainbow Land Crabs (Cardisoma armatum)

Hey! Sorry for late reply, internet went down :(, only just got it back. The filter needs to be fully submerged, it needs about 4 inches of water if you want to stand it on the floor of the tnk, 5 maybe if your attaching it to the side of the tank. From the pics i saw of your tank i would have thoug...

Re: Rainbow Land Crabs (Cardisoma armatum)

Im really pleased with the tank :) and i think Seb is loving it to. He`s been spending most of his time in the water which im a tad dissapointed in, as i would love to see him digging in the sand.

Re: Rainbow Land Crabs (Cardisoma armatum)

Great news on your crab! Hope he's doing well :). I was amazed at how fast Seb molted, I noticed 2 little splits on the sides of his carapace, went out to get sum KFC and when I git back he was out, must have been 40mins max. I left him to it for a few days then removed the old shell as he didn't se...

Cleaned him out earlier this afternoon, so I don't know if that prompted his molt, but I'm glad I did as he's now got a clean tank to recouperate in :). Any goo...

When I do water changes I tend to use a small amount of de-chlorinator, like aquasafe or stress zyme just to be on the safe side. How long do you keep your lights on for du...
