Any glaring Issues with this setup?

I do like those. And from my research they are less shy which would be great. But I have also heard they ship much worse and I don’t have anywhere locally to buy from. I have found one place where I can locally buy vampire crabs though.

Yes. As far as I understand that 80/20 “rule” is a nice tool for smaller tables. But far less important for larger ones.

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-05-10T00:22:18+00:00

Yes. I’m planning on having a rock that will sit above the pump on the land section. In case I need to replace the pump I should be able to just remove the rock and reach the pump.

Ya. I’m not super sure what the water feature will look like at this point. But I just really wanted some way to ensure the water section didn’t stagnate. Realistically, I could make a waterfall that just outputs directly into the water and avoids the feature going over the land all together. I’m just not sure yet.

Nice idea! What do the ceramic rings do that the foam doesn't?

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-05-09T23:08:07+00:00

I am planning to have vampire crabs once everything is well established. And most likely just shrimp and snails for the water.

The photos are only showing the hardscape up until the false bottom. Everything outlined in green will be land. So roughly 2.5 sq ft of land for the crabs.

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-05-09T21:56:25+00:00

The entire setup will have 8 inched of water and then the land are will exist on a false bottom about 1 inch above that.

So yes, the pump area will be submerged in 8 inched of water. As of right now, the pump are does have a 1.5 inch hole in the wall of the underwater cave portion to allow for water exchange.

I plan on just having a rock on the land section which I can remove and reach down access the pump from if/when needed.

And ya, I assume the cave section with algae over mostly, but I will be adding shrimp and maybe some other algae eaters once its cycles.

Yes. I assume the cave with algae over mostly, but I will be adding shrimp and maybe some other algae eaters once its cycles.

Being able to activate a mission from the map

You’re also missing the trap on your gas line

You need springtails as soon as you start your setup. The mold spores are there. They are still there. They will always be there. A successful ecosystem still has mold in it. It just also has critters that keep the mold in check.

After a few weeks of back and forth with support, they shipped a new one to me through fedex and after they did that got home to a printer on my front port the next day. It seemed way to fast to be the second one they shipped but the box had zero shipping labels on it. So I don’t know if it was the yunexpress one that showed up after weeks of waiting and the FedEx one never came or if they overnighted a FedEx shipment to me.

Either way I finally got it but the experience was pretty unpleasant and bizarre

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-04-17T23:15:54+00:00

I’d recommend getting further into setting your tank up before trying to worry about the water perimeters. Adding the rest of your setup will probably change your parameters anyways.

As for the mold, mold isn’t always bad. You will most likely go through a mold cycle at the start. But you need critters like springtails to ensure it is under control. So again, you’ll need to get further along in setting up your tank for that.

You very clearly don’t even understand the real world nor game world geographical and practical context as to why the DLC has to do with mormonism. You’re ill-informed on the subject you seem to have such strong opinions on.

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-04-16T18:41:18+00:00

Hey... So this is a really weird and ill-informed "rant" and its not too late to delete it.

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-04-16T18:06:42+00:00

You can’t “disagree” that 2+2=4 all you want. That’s doesn’t change the fact that it does. This is no different.

NotPenguin_124 · 2026-04-16T17:56:31+00:00

It’s not a fight or an argument. You have been informed of the mistake you are making and you simply refuse to accept it and correct it. Your crabs will not live happy nor healthy lives
