 Water fall

If you don’t put water in your tank, your hermies will die. :( . unfortunatly, this has happened to me twice with my little hermies drowning. DON’T PUT TOO MUCH WATER IN! I’ve heard a rumor that you can de-clorify water with stress coat. Is this TRUE?

Thanks

 Water fall

what sort of waterfall are you thinking of? you need both freshwater and saltwater too.
stress coat will not dechloranate water, just use fish dechlorinator.

The waterfalls in the store are pretty big and may take up most of the room in your 10g. If you want to use something to help humidity, make a bubbler pool. You will need a fresh water and salt water bowl deep enough for your crabs to submerge in.

To create the bubbler pool you need an air pump, hose and air stone. You can use aquarium rocks to weigh the air stone down.
