Add-ons
The add-ons available for the Riverbank Signature. Each is priced per build. Ask and we'll quote it.
What's in the box, and what isn't
Every size includes the complete system. It isn't modifiable. The only upgrades we offer are the add-ons above, and anything beyond those is a Commission.
Every Riverbank includes
- The tank and everything fitted to it
- LED lighting
- Filtration & water flow, sized to the system
- Fitted, escape-proof cover: crabs are climbers
- Complete hardscape & substrate
- Plants included
- Care sheet + WhatsApp support (photo diagnosis is always free)
Not included
- The animals. A new system needs 2-4 weeks to mature before livestock goes in.
- A stand or cabinet.
- Delivery & installation. The price depends on your address, accessibility, and the size of the build.
- Ongoing consumables: food, fertiliser and water conditioner. Available as an add-on. Just contact us when you run out.
- Modifications. A Signature is a sealed recipe. For anything customised, that's a Commission.
Why it works
A real shoreline
Vampire crabs live at the water's edge, so that's what we build: planted land on one side, a flowing stream on the other, in one glass box. Not a tank with a rock in it.
Flow sized to the tank
The pump and filtration are matched to this exact system, like air-conditioning sized for the room. Enough current to keep the water healthy, gentle enough for small claws.
Escape-proof by design
Crabs are climbers, so the fitted cover is part of the recipe, not an accessory: ventilation where it's needed, no gaps where it isn't.
Questions, answered
Is a Signature or a Commission right for me?+
A Signature is a proven design at a set price, ready in about 30 days. A Commission is designed from scratch around your space and ideas. If Riverbank is what you want, order it. If you want it shaped to you, commission it.
Which Signature suits me?+
Compare all five side by side (by animal, water, size and price) on the Signatures page.
When can the crabs move in?+
2-4 weeks after setup: a new system needs to mature first. We can source and introduce the crabs for you once it's ready. See the add-ons above.
What does my home need?+
A stable surface that takes the tank's weight, and a power point nearby. Not sure about a spot? WhatsApp us a photo.
What support comes with it?+
A care sheet at handover, and photo diagnosis on WhatsApp is always free. If you'd rather we handle the upkeep, aftercare plans start from $200 per visit.
