Crab Tank Lighting

[srs753421]

Hello,

I dont know if this is in the right section but it is to so with crabs, red claw thai ones.

I want to keep a few so i only got a 15 x 12 x 12 tank as i am only keeping a single specie in there. The tank (second hand) didnt come with a light and i am not sure what type of light would be the best in a smaller enclosed tank.

I plan on only putting in the water 2/3 full so the crabs can sit out in the air but of course dont want them to cook under the heat of the light!

Help please!

Ok thanks for that, one more thing..... If they are going to have the ability to leave the water then there wont be any need for oxygenating the water presumably? Am i right in thinking this?

The red crabs wil stay underwater for very long amounts of time. It might be good to oxygenate the water just incase..
