I dont have a hermit crab but you should look at bioactive enclosures!

I like the general idea of a bioactive enclosure, but i'm not a fan of how that video does it, too small :cautious:.
I've been wanting to add live plants into their tank, and that video helps a lot with how to actually set it up, thank you :)

If you're on tiktok and youtube, I highly recommend the page CrabCentralStation! They have several hundreds of gallons in total of space for their hermies!

Ilove CCS! Their whole account is wonderful, and they really helped me get on track with my care. Went from a 5gal with awful care, to now a 45gal with proper care. Thhey're awesome :laugh:

Bioactive is my eventual goal for Tuchanka (leopard gecko). I did an Amazon river freshwater tank a decade ago and loved it! :heart: But a lot of work!

Thanks! I like them because they’re a little less demanding than non planted tanks
Do the plants help clean the tank or something? I heard that planted tanks help with something but I forgot what :cautious:

Oh yeah, they take care of most of the waste produced by the fish. Both of the small tanks are filterless because the plants are the filter.

Nothing compared to zEro/ 's tanks, but this is Harley's very basic messy tank :) (it is purposely half full, hopefully a temporary thing)
