HVR&R Bioactive Enclosure Guide

What is Bioactive?

In this section, we discuss what defines bioactive, bioactive vs. naturalistic enclosures, and the benefits of a bioactive enclosure.

Core Elements of Bioactive Enclosures

In this section, we dive into the components of a bioactive enclosure and delve into perhaps the most important element of a bioactive setup - the substrate.

Arid vs. Tropical Bioactive Setups

Bioactive is not just for tropical animals! In this section, we go over the distinctions between setting up an arid vs. tropical bioactive enclosure.

Plants and Plant Lighting

In this section we cover appropriate plants for different species and environments, and the recommended lighting to keep your live plants thriving.

The Clean-Up Crew

In this section we discuss what invertebrates make up the clean-up crew, and how to select the right clean-up crew species for your enclosure.

Putting it All Together - An Approximate Timeline

In this section we tie everything together, and lay out a rough timeline for when to add certain elements. Bioactive enclosures don't happen overnight!
