{"product_id":"exo-terra-bio-draining-substrate-2kg","title":"Exo Terra Bio Draining Substrate 2kg","description":"\u003cp\u003eExo Terra BioDrain Terrarium Draining Substrate is a natural, nonorganic substrate that allows excellent drainage of the terrarium. It will not rot or decompose like other natural substrates. The optional BioDrain Terrarium Draining Mesh will keep the BioDrain Terrarium Draining Substrate separated from the decorative terrarium top-layer substrate and prevent the different substrates from mixing and contaminating the water. The BioDrain Terrarium Draining Substrate will function as a biological filtration system. The clean terrarium water can then be circulated in waterfalls or Dripping Plants. Use Bio Clean (formally known as Biotize) to speed up biological filtration capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to install Bio Drain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn example of a layered substrate in the terrarium using the Exo Terra Bio Drain Substrate and Bio Drain Mesh:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the Natural Terrarium on an even surface and clean the waterproof bottom part.\u003cbr\u003eWash the Bio Drain Terrarium Draining Substrate thoroughly and spread it evenly in the terrarium.\u003cbr\u003eCreate a water part by removing substrate in the desired location.\u003cbr\u003eCover the Terrarium Draining Substrate with Bio Drain Terrarium Mesh, and separate the water section with moss, bark or rocks…\u003cbr\u003eAdd a biological substrate like Plantation Soil on the terrestrial (land) area.\u003cbr\u003ePlant your live plants, mosses \u0026amp; ferns and cover the top soil layer with leaf litter.\u003cbr\u003eLive plants provide shelter, retain moisture and yield nutrients for various organisms but they also absorb ammonium and nitrates in the soil.\u003cbr\u003eAdd an aquatic substrate like Turtle Pebbles or Riverbed Sand to the water part and add water.\u003cbr\u003eSince both the BioDrain Mesh and Substrate are non-organic, they will not rot or decompose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse Turtle Clean (PT1998 or PT1999) to add beneficial organisms to the terrarium water and speed up biological filtration capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExo Terra Plantation Soil, Terrarium Moss, Jungle Earth, etc. can be used as decorative top-layer substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger terrarium surfaces (e.g. Natural Terrarium PT2613, PT2614 or PT2609) combine multiple pieces of BioDrain Terrarium Draining Mesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e2 kg – 4.4 lb\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tropical Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56680435155319,"sku":"TS02766","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2145\/4643\/files\/SHD002_1-1.jpg?v=1770371093","url":"https:\/\/tropical-supplies.co.uk\/products\/exo-terra-bio-draining-substrate-2kg","provider":"Tropical Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
