is that salt water

@alanmckenzie29 This is salt water. The new tank just uses fresh. Salt water was harder to keep clean. I plan on getting back to keeping salt water in the big tank - one of the reasons that I set up a 29 gallon marine tank.

should i get a 15 watt night bulb or 25 i live in minnesota and i have a 40 gallon cage sorry to bug you about stuff

@sailor5687 No problem. In my opinion, if it is just for the light, go with the lowest wattage. If it also to suppliment heat then go with the higher. I don't use any lights rated higher than 26 watts. In the main tank they are only for illumination. In my straw tank they are also used for heat. As it is the straw tank is too hot (heat wave here in central NY) so I will have to keep them off or use a local fan.

@TheSparklebutt

I'm talking bout a land hermit crab

[TheSparklebutt]

@123mrfroggy123 Incorrect. Your crabitat needs to have water deep enough for your largest crab to completely submerge itself, just make sure he has an easy way to get out.

@nainaigogo I'm not sure but if it's a land hermit crab, don't put it in water any deeper than 1"

@sailor5687 In my straw tank I saw my little e in the water dish (completely submerged). This was late and he looked a little suprised when I turned on the light. I do suspect more activity when it is darker. I just added another filter to my night light (notice how dark it is now on my live cam). I made some videos of the last few nights and there seems to be more of them about when it is darker.
