Zoo Med’s NEW Tropical Bioblend is the perfect substrate for your Tropical Bioactive Terrarium. Let’s break down what’s in it:
The term “bioactive” is used to describe a miniature ecosystem created in a terrarium or vivarium. In a functional bioactive habitat, small invertebrates (aka: Clean-up Crew) break down waste from your pet to make nutrients available for live plants to consume. This incredible living network forms a balance that can reduce the maintenance of your habitat while enhancing its look. The right substrate mix is critical to a successful bioactive habitat as it will be where your “Clean-Up Crew” will do their part to convert waste and where plants will root to take up the excess nutrients.
