Hermit Crab second level setup - Step by step pics

[candraz]

So I know this isn't the normal kind of tank build posted here. A lot of hermit owners like to add second levels for their crabs. But I haven't been able to find very many picture guides on the web. So hopefully this helps someone out




1. I first start with an empty 29gal tank and rock background that I made awhile ago. The background is carved Styrofoam and then paper mached over it to make it hard. Then painted and sealed with many coats of mod podge.



2. The second level platform was a wood piece off an old bird perch. I sealed it with Mod Podge and then glued a piece of plastic that came with it over it.



3. The rocks and pieces of wood are the supports for the second level.





4. Second level added. I put all my weight on it to test out the sturdiness. It isn't going anywhere





5. Add plants!
