Zoo Med Tropical Bioactive Substrate Kit

The Zoo Med Tropical Bioactive Substrate Kit is an ideal base for your bioactive home. In a well - functioning bioactive setup, tiny invertebrates (your clean - up crew) work their magic. They break down your pet's waste, turning it into nutrients that live plants can gobble up. This amazing living system creates a perfect balance. It cuts down on the upkeep of your habitat and makes it look more natural. Here are its great features: it decomposes pet waste, lessens maintenance, and boosts the natural look.

To use the Zoo Med Tropical Bioactive Substrate Kit, first spread the substrate evenly at the bottom of your pet's habitat. Then, introduce your clean - up crew of small invertebrates. You can add some live plants on top of the substrate later. When it comes to maintenance, check regularly to make sure the substrate is moist but not too wet. If you notice the invertebrate population dropping significantly, you may need to add more. Keep an eye on the growth of the plants and trim them if they get too large. Also, make sure the habitat has proper ventilation to keep the whole system healthy.
