Made bubbler pools

Post by Tetra8CClyPeatus »

I will be putting these in after Hexxus and Lexxie come up!! Haa it's like when 2 come up, another 2 go down !!

They are unpredictable !!

Well, I figure I wanna get rid of the shallow pools and put in much deeper pools, and hook up my air pump to air stones for bubbles and the hermit crabs can get good submerged dips!!

Still not completely done. I gotta put aquarium silicone and pebbles on the ramps

Beware of those ramps. if you get fish tank pebbles or somethin it should hold the ramps implace - so the crabs don't get stuck behind...

I've never had any problems with 'Impulse Buying'. They're just animals that I forgot I had planned to get.

It is ok to have metal in the tank, it doesn't kill them - just like pine...

Depending on the type of metal, it will rust in the humid environment of the tank. The rust could potentially be harmful.
