Bio-Active Substrate for Reptiles
I've searched with minimal results for bio-active set ups on this site. I was curious if anyone else does this. I've had my BP's on it for about a year now and I've seen a HUGE cost and maintenance decrease ever since.
For those of you that don't know what a bio-active set up is; it's essentially a small self sufficient ecosystem that takes care of MOST of the cleaning for you.
Here's an article that explains it in more details:

Aside from the false bottom (because I have live plants that take care of the extra moisture), my set up is the same. I am also aware that BP's don't require special lighting. The lighting you see is wired to a light switch that is turned off and on for proper night/day time hours. It's main purpose is to help plant growth. (Being the first time posting, I can only hope that the picture comes out right)

I don't think I would recommend it for feeder racks though. Simply because they produce far more waste than reptiles do. I would imagine it would work but you would have to add an immense amount of microfauna in order to keep up.
