Series 2.4 {Width10.3”XHeight7.3”XDepth4.5”}
A 3D crabitat climbing wall and background accent. Easy removal, for easy crabitat redecorating!
Each piece is made by me and is ONE OF A KIND! Using the same techniques recommended by land hermit crab outreaches to make a 3D background! These are individual pieces made for easy removal! So your custom background can grow with you as your upgrade your tank and rearrange!
Used:
Great stuff foam (once cured, 24 hours, cut to remove top shiny layer, and then cut to shape)
100% silicone
Sifted EcoEarth to cover silicone for natural look
72 hour curing process overall
To install:
Remove stickers on back indicating silicone installation placement.
This item can simply lean against your glass!
For better appearance and stability use 100% silicone(no mold inhibitors) to secure it directly to the glass. For easy removal in the future-only place a nickel size amount of silicone in the places the stickers were removed from.
NOTE: NEVER have crabs in your enclosure while silicone is curing!
LONG ZipTie option: Not recommended but putting the information in as people may attempt to do so regardless. Cut/drill/poke two holes in the desired section you would like the ziptie to go through. Place the ziptie through the holes, and silicone the now exposed area caused from poking holes. Put dry eco earth on the silicone while wet. Let silicone fully cure before placing/hanging in crabitat.
NOTE: NEVER have crabs in your enclosure while silicone is curing!
For easy removal:
Take any scrapper and run it between the glass and piece pressing more firmly on the glass side. Separate all silicone from glass before removing, do not pull or yank while you still have any amount attached. If damage occurs, follow upkeep instructions.
For upkeep:
With any item in a crabitat, damage can occur over time due to picking and climbing! LUCKILY upkeep for these pieces are easy! You need to first remove it from your enclosure using the easy removal instructions! Then, using 100% silicone(no mold inhibitors), use a small amount in the area needing repair. Then put dry eco earth on the wet silicone! Follow the instructions on your silicone packaging for curing time! PLEASE ENSURE IT IS CURED FULLY BEFORE PLACING BACK IN CRABITAT!
NOTE: NEVER have crabs in your enclosure while silicone is curing!
For customization: YES you can customize this even more! You can add 100% plastic foliage to this! You can Silicone it on using 100% silicone(no mold inhibitors) or you can stab it directly into the piece! Note:if you stab it into the piece and remove the the foliage in the future, you will need to follow the upkeep instructions to fill in the hole caused by the foliage. PLEASE TAG BASKEYCRABS in your social media photos if you choose to do this! I would love to see all the pretty foliage added!
