    Recently got poisoned by nat geo article on these crabs, so thought I put my spare tank to use.

    I understand that the crabs need a lot of dry land, what if my soil is alway wet? Will this cause some problems? Mould to the soil etc? Planning to use left over ADA substrate, so do I have to "season" the soil first for bacteria grown etc?

    Also if I am planning to have only about 4inches of water. What sort of flirtation system to use? Or is it ok not to use any?

    Hope bros can advice and my buying can start Hahahah

    Hi there Mookie, I have kept these crabs before in a 50/50 setup.

    You can read more about the setup in my thread here.

    thanks bro, I have seen your other Vivarium with the cork bark backing and it's a beauty. Wasted you took it down. I am wanting to set up something similar to yours in the future. Can I find out if you use anything to fill up the empty spaces of the cork bark background?
