I've been experimenting with and without them. This is my second build without. It's been 106 days without issues so it can be done without a filter quite easily. But there are a few things to take into account. (I'll make a video about it soon). 1. Basically you need to make sure the water completes the nitrogen cycle fully (as with aquariums) 2. Stay on top of water changes and use a lot of aquatic plants and mosses. In this tank's case the entire surface is loaded with salvinia and I have aquatic moss in a lot of the cracks between the rocks. This plus the huge amount of surface area for bacteria to grow on (clay balls) seems to do the trick. A filter is still a good idea if you have the space for it and I suggest people who are new to still use one. NO HEATER? This tank doesn't currently have a heater (it's summer here at the moment) When autumn comes along I place a small heat mat on the back or side of the tank. If you don't have space in the water section for an aquatic heater a heat mat works very well. INBREEDING? This is an issue with all crabs and fish and if you are planning on breeding and selling crabs/fish you should always try to diversify their genetics with new animals. I have added a few females from a new line semi-recently (you'll see them in an upcoming video) However if you don't plan on breeding the crabs you can let the adults cannibalise their young. 🟨CHAPTERS Intro: 0:00 - 0:29 Substrate & Soil: 0:30 - 4:46 Hardscape: 4:47 - 6:54 Adding Moss: 6:55 - 10:32 Water Section: 10:33 - 12:18 2 Weeks Later: 12:19 - 13:54 Day 50 - Adding Crabs: 13:55 - 15:26 Day 106 - A lot has changed: 15:27 - 19:55
