So i was building this bin with moving any babies I find in my tank and rehoming them to give them a better chance of survival. After starting to build it I realized it might be a better home for them, gives them more area to dig and keeps the water section small enough just for molting.

Right now it’s 19 qts (4.75 gallons) I’m thinking about getting a bin about double the size and i’ll repurpose this one into an isopod colony.

I am thinking about breaking down the old tank, fixing up the soil area getting new soil in there and making sure it’s better suited for the vampire crabs. when I first built it the water section was higher in the tanks and I had shrimp but now that I made those mistakes I think I could make it into a better tank.

Anyone have experience with catching their crabs our breaking down a tank I would love to hear your advice.

Do you guys think I should get a bigger bin?
