Exo-Terra BioDrain Terrarium Draining Substrate

Exo-Terra BioDrain is an outstanding terrarium draining substrate crafted from natural, non-decomposable crushed lava. It's a game - changer for your reptile's living space, offering excellent drainage. Unlike organic substrates that break down over time, BioDrain stays intact, providing long - lasting performance. This substrate also doubles as a biological filtration system. It recirculates water, making it perfect for powering waterfalls and drippers in your terrarium. It creates an efficient water drainage system and serves as a great medium for biological filtration. It's especially ideal for tropical terrariums and paludariums. You can optionally use it with Exo - Terra BioDrain Terrarium Draining Mesh to keep the BioDrain substrate separate from the decorative top - layer substrate. For even better biological filtration, pair it with Exo - Terra Bio Clean (formerly known as Biotize).

Using Exo - Terra BioDrain is easy. First, spread a layer of the substrate at the bottom of your terrarium. This will create a drainage system and a base for biological filtration. You can then add a decorative top - layer substrate on top. If you want to keep the BioDrain substrate separated from the top - layer, use the Exo - Terra BioDrain Terrarium Draining Mesh. For enhanced biological filtration, add Exo - Terra Bio Clean to the substrate. As for maintenance, periodically check the water circulation and the condition of the substrate. If you notice any blockages in the water flow, gently stir the substrate to restore it. Also, keep an eye on the water quality in the terrarium. This product is designed for long - term use, but if you see significant debris buildup, you may need to replace part of the substrate.
