Well, I got most of my supplies today and I just couldn't resist.

The Crabitat:
20gal, 2/3 playsand, 1/3 EE, One shelf with EE, fresh and salt water dishes, plants and net for climbing, UTH, hidey logs, little choya stumps.

The Crabs:
Strawberry:
RED-a bit bigger than a golfball
PP's:
Mover-conchish shell, but about golfball I guess
Checker-green turbo, about 1/2 dollar size
Bow-green turbo, quarter size
Shaker-awful v-day painted shell about quarter
Arrow-painted conchish shell almost a quarter
Java-nickel, maybe a bit bigger
Pekoe-nickel, maybe a bit bigger

Red definately needs to pick a new shell, but he's very active.

Checker hid for a bit, but is now climbing on EVERYTHING!

Mover is a bit of a loner, but rambles a bit too

Shaker is kinda chicken "shakin' in his boots"

Bow-CLIMB, CLIMB, CLIMB

Arrow-DIG, DIG, DIG

Pekoe-Very friendly, climbs/hikes alot

Java-IN HIDING...

I'm still waiting for a few supplies, I ordered my gauges before moire tipped me off to that good one, but I may order that one next. I have about a million shells on the way. Plus some coral and more climby stuff. So far they seem pretty happy with thier new home. Tonight's menu includes some salmon, so we'll see!

So, overall opinion? On tank, and #/size crabs?

Anyone?

Thanks again for all the info. It really helped me figure out all the how-to's.
