Could it be as simple as not enough heat packs?

From earlier discussions, I think you may be confusing Caribbean Creatures with Caribbean Critters.

We have a 65 gallon tank that we are going to move him into in the next month, and we are trying to figure out how to "octo-proof" the lid! It has a divider in the middle, so we are finding some difficulty in getting a lid for it! Any suggestion? Any suggestions on what type? Glass, Acrylic, Screen, etc.... We were thinking either way, about getting latches for it.... So any help, would be great! Thank you!
BTW.... He ate the other crab today! Yey!!! I'm so relieved he's eating! We will try krill again soon!
It is a glass tank with a rim with an edge, and it's at the bottom of the brace. It has a sump and it has a corner overlow (which will be covered also). Prefer not to do duct tape :Pdwhatley;168250 said:To start is this a glass or acrylic tank? Does the rim have a banding with any kind of edge? If it has an edge, is the edge flush with either the top OR the bottom of the brace? Do you have a sump (a consideration for temperature control)? Is the tank part of the esthetics of the house (duct tape is often used but not always desired ).

Latchers are best, but weights are a cheap and easy fix.
