A review, what a great idea since it is a new product! We do have a CrabbyWiki that has a product reviews section where one can do a review on a product they use and want to share it with their fellow crabbers. This has been a helpful area for others too when it comes to when they would prefer hands on type information.
Our product review area on the wikii is:

and the guide for doing a review can be seen at:

In the crabitat:: moon light question
The caresheets and FAQs on CSJ were great, the articles and info I read are what gave me the idea that maybe I could use my existing hood. But I think I am going to have to stick with the lamp type. Exo-Terra seems to have some good ones that will sit on the glass and they use the rare earth black phosphors bulbs.

Thank-you very much for the info!

And a side thank-you and kudos to whomever is creating the caresheets. They are great!

Pimp my 'tat:: Kermi, Orangy and Soupy's Crabitat...
Hey I have seen you around before welcome to CSJ. Just in case you did not know we have a Crabby photo site you can register for, the link is to the left, and we also run monthly contests for both tat and crab pictures. You can win prizes if voted as the monthly winner, and if your crab pic wins it will be in the year end calendar for that month. Just a thought b/c as you know we crabbers LOVE PICTURES!!!!

Very nice looking tat, I bet they love all the extra room, hopefully you find those E's your looking for, then the fun really begins, right Lette?

Ah nevermind i see where you have signed up already *blushes* guess I should check my email before posting....

In the crabitat:: Suction cups won't stick
I know this is from a few days ago but I have found in the craft section of Walmart there is a 2 pack of large suction cups with plastic hooks that are very strong. I use them for my net in my tank and Kermi my biggest crab loves to hang from it and it didn't budge she was on there for over 2 hours one night. Just make sure that there is no sand on the walls or suction cup before you place it. I also spritz a very small amount of salt water on the suction cup before placing it on the wall. I have never had one fall yet even with a crab hanging on it.

Hermit Crab Care Emergencies:: um crab from petsmart with no shell?
My PetSmart Store makes me sick to walk into. I mean I actually had tears in my eyes and was sick to my stomach. Seeing a crab laying there dead, close to the glass with his poor little legs up in the air! I've e-mailed PetSmart and got no answer and talk to the manager, who suggested I contact corporate because he said they just didn't have a big enough stafff. I would like to suggest they stop selling them all completely. They only started selling around Halloween. I won't ever look at their tanks again, if I can help it. Yes you should wash him in warm distilled water. Then give him options of several shells. Of course food and both waters. He needs, honey, krill, chiten, etc. Put a hut over him w/shells & food close by and God Bless You for hopefully saving another one from PetSmart. I'm rooting for you!!

I believe in LolaGranola post she used the term "Filtered sea water". About 2/3 down this page, she has a picture of the filtered sea water:
