@laughlovemac i would avoid the filtered water because as far as i know, it only removes part of the impurities in water. I would go with water purifier/dechlorinator because that is the safe way to go.

nice tank but id recomend a lid :)

[lorenzoproductionss]

@sarahthunter555 Thanks! I do have a lid, its just that I removed it so that i can take videos inside the tank. Thanks for your concern!

How long did you put the sticks in the microwave for?

[lorenzoproductionss]

@xxjono023xx I would put it in there for 20 to 30 seconds on full power.

ok im sorry i didnt know but ive been using sink water for a year and none of them died

[lorenzoproductionss]

@2000deddy it was probably because the water in your area doesn't have as much chlorine in other places, but that doesn't completely remove the chance of their gills swelling up and killing them. If you use de-chlorinated water, it removes that chance completely.

[laughlovemac]

[captainmcfatass]

Do you sterilize the plastic plants? and do you need to sterilize them? if so how?

[crabstreet]

Majority of cardboard's treated for rats, and strongly advised to steer away from using it within the tank. The ocean/sea water must be one sold specifically for salt water fish. Hermit crabs require a balanced diet, one which no commercial food offers. Majority of hermit crab foods have ethoxyquin and/or copper sulphate within them. One can offer water and if they need/want the sand damp can do it themselves. . Please do visit Crab Street Journal com for proper hermit crab care instructions.
