I'm wondering how everyone here sets up their crab habitats.

My little Marshall's tank needs a reno/upsize, so I thought I'd get some ideas

He needs plenty of water space, but really needs an area to clamber out as well. He seems to eat his decorations and is a bit destructive, but doesn't do too much purposeful redecoration, like burrowing etc.

For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

I want to do a beach but being Canadian in a 100 year old house, I am scared to chill him. So far the best I can do is 5 inches of water with a lava rock island. At least I know he has stable temp. I tried making a beach with a siliconed in wall but it was a mess. He would keep going in and out and getting all covered in sand. Then he would go for a swim and all the sand on his body would wash off and float on the surface--and never sink unless over the under water filter maybe. After just one day the whole water surface was covered in sand, and the beach was damp and cool.
