Yes of course the uv is needed. But you can add the jungle dawn in addition to the uv tubes. . It is the best light for plants growth.I have to run uvb bulbs for the inhabitants, I don't think that LED lights have enough uvb. I could be mistaken, though. They're all super high humidity enclosures so if moisture is the problem for my ferns that makes sense.
I have 3 bioactive vivs going, but they aren't housing any chams. I'd go with creeping fig over baby tears, they seem to be much sturdier.
You may not need the hydroballs if if it is draining the water. However the clay balls may help to keep the plants roots moist.So I figured I'd bump this instead of making anymore threads
Sooo anyway this may be a dumb question, but do I need the hydroballs if I have the entire bioactive bin draining into another bin? What I'm thinking is a plastic tub with the substrate/plants/etc in it as my cage floor with holes at the bottom of that and another bin underneath where the excess water will go.
It depends on what you are housing inokay cool I'll probably go with using them then. Would it be good to use 3" hydroball layer and 3" substrate(separated by mesh)?
That is fine. Just check how big the plant pots are. Maybe 3 inches is not enough to cover the roots.Oh my fault, male panther. I have no problem with more soil just wasn't sure. I have a few decently sized schefflera and money trees i'll be planting in it along.
