vivarium construction supplies

I'd agree. Assuming it can't be eaten, isn't sharp, or isn't accessible to the frogs, glass should be problem. I've seen marbles used as a drainage layer, kind pretty, but also kinda heavy in case you need to move things.



So, where did you get this and how much was it? It looks like interesting stuff.

This is this first place that I have seen this product carried outside Europe. They shipped the product the same day and it arrived in three days.

Ever since I started reading this thread I have been simultaneously reading about Epiweb and Hygrolon. They were created by a Swedish company called "Dusk Tropic" and are mainly sold in the EU. That being said, on their website Epiweb they have links to retailers and I do believe that the UK retailer that is listed will ship to the US and they carry the full range of the products including the Epiweb IIS (comes with an irrigation system) but also the prices for shipping are extraneous.

What I can tell about Folius is that it is a brand new company (only weeks old) with only one real product, Hygrolon and this is semi limited compared to what Dusk Tropic has created (so far, again weeks old). I did like their website layout, I hope they pick up some more interesting products.

Also, from what I have seen these materials work very well, both Epiweb and Hygrolon, for growing many plants, primarily epiphytes and mosses. But they both, specifically Epiweb, have a tendancy to dry out, so with them a good misting system is essential. Dusk Tropic has also come up with a product that is pre-seeded to grow moss,( http://www.epiweb.se/epiwebiis3.htm more details on the middle of this page) a handy thing to have.

Sorry for the double post

Thank you for the link. I've been curious about it but too lazy to find it stateside.
I just checked the site out and a lot of products are out of stock.

So if anyone wants some they probably better get on the stick.

I think that they probably under estimated demand for the product in the USA. I would hope the next shipment would include more stock and it would be great to get some of the moss mix dusk tropic has.

I just received an email from where I bought the hygrolon. They said that the moss mix would be in stock in about 2 weeks, Im excited. Probably by then they will have more stock of everything.

Hey guys. Is there anything specific to look for when buying the grout? I bought some Keracolor U unsanded grout with polymer. My concern is that it has "BioBlock" antimicrobial protection.
Thanks

Keracolor U / Grouts / Setting Materials / Ceramic

5th bullet down it shows that it contains the bioblock.

I guess I should have been more specific. I know that it contains bioblock, but will that cause problems in the viv?
I know that antibacterial materials would cause problems, I just don't know about antimicrobial.

CANNA CLAY PEBBLES HYDROTON
are what i,m going to use, i found it so so hard to find any here,. even online it was hard because they charge so much for shipping.

id love to know what people are using for their plants on top i have the coco pelt which i put my plants in after i washed them and all their soil off, but im not sure they can grow in just this?? what ar mothers doing.

also people who have a dam in a naturalistic one, how do they go with the water off the top plants seeping to the hydration layer and the dam. does it make the dam bad?
