Exo Terra Stainless Steel Scoop

I want to eventually add fish to this setup when the tank finishes cycling, so I would like some cleanup critters to add to the tank to take care of the waste that I may miss every now and then. Im thinking some type of reptile safe cleaning spray specially for this type of thing, that you can just spray on the spot where you removed the poo from.

I am not familiar with any sprays on the market deemed safe for reptiles for this sort of thing, but spot cleaning I just simply replace the substrate as and when. Spot clean out chunks, top up occationally if you have to take a chunk out, but the whole point of bioactive is that the bugs do the cleaning. The whole reptile community, especially some on the Facebook groups, always want things handed to them on a plate. The mummy was purchased in Japan by an American naval officer who donated it to the Clark County Historical Society in Springfield, Ohio, in 1906.So essentially I have raised all my landscaping with the peanuts and connected it with drainage pipes to the bottom where it falls into a bucket.

I also included a second drain in the bottom to drain any water that might get around the pond liner and begin to collect in the bottom around the aquarium. By connecting Zoo Miami to small and large foundation gifts, we are able to become innovators in our industry, establish thoughtful and impactful programs and most importantly – sustain great work once it’s been accomplished. It came up a bit short since I wanted a minimum of 6ft of climbing height for him, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a more enriching swimming area for him (at the design stage of the build my first draft had a much smaller aquatic section). says it is good for up to 65 gallons (if you have any suggestions for a better one I'll seriously consider it for my next upgrade! However, I'm not sure how much filtration I can actually obtain by using the aquatic substrate, underwater features, and plants so we'll see.The water level is just below the overhang to create an air pocket underneath which serves a couple of purposes. I have an Indian Star Tortoise setup that has been running for almost 6 years without much of a substrate change. Yes, it does seem more people are up for free freebies rather than free add ons, but that's human nature I guess. The initial investigation found that the mummy appears to be made from the head and torso of a monkey sewed onto the decapitated body of a fish, while the mermaid's hands are the clawed legs from a lizard — most likely a Komodo dragon ( Varanus komodoensis), Cress told Live Science.

Over the years it hasn't been as big a worry as people were happily collecting their products from outside, where natural microbes live. Disclaimer: Nothing above is to say there is anything fundamentally wrong with bioactive enclosures, just that there may be a need to improve our knowledge on it.So I created a drainage layer about 12" deep with non-organic packing peanuts, added my leca drainage layer on top of that, and my soil on top of that. I'm just afraid since I have the overhang I'm going to have to remove it and clean poop out from under it. After her presentation, I gave her a bottle of Bio Boost, and explained what it was and what it did, with the hopes that it may be the missing key to improving Bio Setups. So hopefully I can move to a more natural filtration system in the future, at least in part, because replicating his natural environment is really important to me. I got about halfway finished adding my drainage layer and substrate when I realized it could be done better and that soil that deep and in such confined spaces would likely grow mold and other unpleasant things due to lack of aeration.
