A proper drainage layer is essential in bioactive vivariums to prevent substrate from becoming waterlogged. These sinking clay balls form a stable base layer, allowing excess water to drain below the main substrate while maintaining humidity above.

Their porous structure supports beneficial bacteria, helping to naturally break down waste and maintain a healthier, more balanced ecosystem within the enclosure.

Designed to be used with soil-based substrates such as HabiStat Jungle Bio, this combination creates a natural filtration system that supports plant growth and bioactive custodians.

These clay balls sink rather than float, making them ideal for setups that require consistent moisture distribution and for use in aquatic or semi-aquatic environments.

Directions for Use:
Rinse thoroughly under running water until clear before use. Add as a base layer in your enclosure, then cover with a suitable substrate such as soil, coir or bioactive mix.
