I am planning on getting a couple of red claw crabs, and I have a large Kritter Keeper that holds approximately 4 gallons. I don't know if this is enough space. I am going to get more substrate (right now I have both Carib Sea Tahitian black and some blue gravel mixed together), marine salt, and a 15 wt. incandescent bulb for over the tank. I already have a Whisper in tank filter (the smallest one they make, and it's currently seeding in an established tank) and a 50 wt. heater.
I attached a pic. The land/water ratio is approximately 2/3 land, 1/3 water, although I think the water ratio is slightly higher than that. With hardly any room, I have the clay pot, the elbow PVC and small driftwood pieces, plexiglass dividing land and water, and a rock for them to climb on in the water. Not much room for anything else. I am thinking I need to get a 10 gallon tank. What do you think? Also, if I keep the Kritter Keeper,
I'd have to put the plastic top on, and an old glass aquarium top on top of that to put the light on it. (The glass top doesn't quite cover the entire top, darn it!) If I got a 10 gallon, I'd need to buy a glass top, and I should be set. Here's a pic. What do you think?
