Default Crab tank

Last time, i had a terrarium with vamp crabs. They bred and i had some babies left. I re used one of my custom acrylic tank and built a new home for them as well as a few adults. It also houses 2 CPOs in the water section. Here is the tank.

welcome back bro kai... the tank looks good! More plants on the top and the back would be good too =) Perhaps some bromeliads, crypthantus and some more wood would look good

Shouldn't be a problem with broms... you can get 1 or 2 small ones and trust me they'll hide and live in them

Default how do you clean the water?

How do you keep the water clean since you have sand and soil for the tank? I've been keeping mine in a bare bottomed bowl.
