75 Gal Bio-Active Vivarium Build 

Looks great. Love your casual approach.

Looks fantastic!

Very nice , thanks for inspiration, good job

You forgot the drainage barrier between the false bottom & your “abg” mix. 😬

This came out AWESOME! Cant wait to see the inhabitants :)

I just got a 75gal aquarium for Christmas and I’m trying to find ideas, this is exactly what I was looking for ☺️

Your tank does look great congrats ,interested in types moss in it

I could imagine doin all this with a top opening cage props for that

This made me cringe when he didn’t add a substrate barrier 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Great video! I have a 30gl tall that I’ve been wanting to do a bioactive for a small anole colony. I have seen other guys do a barrier between the drainage layer, and the substrate. Everything from an egg crate false bottom to a simple landscape fabric between. Thoughts on this?

I may have started a revolution. After years of aquariums that use charcoal as part of the filter, I have learned that you need to replace the charcoal (in an aquarium) every month because it absorbs up to the saturation point and then no more. So I asked myself...self no matter how long it takes the charcoal will eventually get to be ineffective. So why use it unless you intend to completely redo your vivarium each year. So I put in a good layer of small rocks with a weed barrier cloth on top. I simply intend to not over water the vivarium. And it's a tropical forest vivarium so the inside of the tank stays moist constantly. Now I just need to learn which plants can live in 90% humidity. I have one of these growing since March so that's 7.5 months with no problems(yet) and I just got a 60 gallon tank for my next one. It's an older/no longer made size tank in these measurements...36" wide by 18" front to back and 21.5" tall.

Awesome tank! I can’t wait till you put the frogs in!

The black expanding foam helps cover missed spots!

Nice! Bioactive is the best*-*

Yet one more request: One day someone who makes a "build" tutorial will also make a start/one year later video of the same terrarium/vivarium.

Why no barrier between the drainage layer and the substrate ? I use common fiberglass screen for the barrier.

Is there a way to know which plants are safe to keep with animals in a vivarium?

So many missed spots on the foam. Thanks for the vid anyhow.

How do you prevent the springtails and isopods from escaping out the top? A reply would be appreciated :)

Question: Why does no one list the lights that a set up like this needs to grow the plants ?

Drainage barrier and how about charcoal?

do you have a link to that exact silicone?

Isn’t manure/fertilised soils really bad for vivariums? I was told only to use organic potting mix and I would think manured soul would grow plants better and healthier. What’s you’re experience on using manured soil (the black cow stuff) with amphibians?

I have a 34 gallon hexagon aquarium I wanna convert into a vivarium or terrarium for my crested gecko and was wondering if you could help with a few ideas

What type of water you used for your plants and frogs?

What’s the brand of silicone? I cannot find the correct type

Where did you get your drift wood?

All the stuff ur using it’s safe looks from Home Depot

Any updates on the 75 gallon?

Music 👎

Who else stopped the video after he said frogs
