Tank Setup - Bioactive?

[spiderfreddie]

Good luck on trying to do bioactive with a ball. You are going to need some tough plants. These guys are bulldozers and will tear everything up.

I've had my bioactive setup for about 8 months now. I do kind of agree with you but also im surprised how some of the smaller delicate plants have thrived. I will agree I've had some plants that only lasted 2 months and she destroyed them other seemed to just die off because of the temps/humidity but overall most are doing really well. Also i noticed a big difference in my ball she seems to be doing so much better in it. Now the tank is fully established cleaning is so much easier the urates i hardly ever take out and are gone within a few days week max. I do usually bury the poop when its a big one. The smell in the tank is a lot nicer as well. I'd defiantly recommend going bioactive it wasn't cheap and at the start is more work but in the long run its the way to go especially if your snakes are on dsiplay
