Question
hi. i had a question about sponges. Are they really an essential because i looked at your tank on line and i seen that you didn't have any sponges. I'm asking this question because my humidity stays around 70-78%.And because my sponge is falling apart?

Answer
Sponges are no required and in my opinion are a pain in the tush.  Maybe I should do an article on them :O

If your humidity is good, you're fine.
If you have ways for your little crabs to get out of the water, perfect.
Adding natural moss is a much better alternative.
