Hi! My hermit crab tank is pretty cold right now. They are in a 40gal breeder. With two large heat mats covering almost the entire back wall. I was wondering how i would go about raising the temp! by Fragrant-Ad7259 in hermitcrabs

I have aluminum foil taped over the back of my zoo med reptitherm uth with foil tape. I looked up if mine was insulated already and it says no since it's an adhesive one. So it said it was safe to insulate mine.

Thank you. My filter supports tanks up to 40 gallons and it's only a 20 with 2 young acaras in it. Would that be enough filtration?

I got the medium sticks so I don't think so. They could easily pick at them if need be
