I was curious about setting up bioactive tanks that don't use real plants. I am not a particularly huge fan of real plants. I'm more interested in clean up crews.
The regular critters used for that don't require live plants. They may appreciate dead plants, such as leaf litter and pieces of rotten wood.I was curious about setting up bioactive tanks that don't use real plants.

Humidity is not a tarantula term, it's either damp or not damp sub, keep the humidity to reptiles.We were talking about humidity and tarantulas and I have people telling my humidity is good with bioactive. I'm more interested in clean up crews to take care of mold and poop.
Mistaking bioactive with ecosystem. Probably hoping for some degree of a self sustaining ecosystem. The problem of course is a fully self sustaining ecosystem will never be what was intended, or most often, desired.what is the definition of bioactive?
Oops, seems I messed up a bit with this! I sorta did combine bioactive and ecosystem. My bad!@Jurdon - what is the definition of bioactive? People use that word everywhere but no one defines what they mean. If you define it as using biological agents (like springtails) to support your keeping parametes, any enclosure with springtails/isopods is bioactive. Why do you need plants for that? What exactly is your definition? - Not attacking you, just curious.
True... My geniculata juvie loves them...Isopods often become dinner
They can self sustain if the conditions alow it. I have some even in bonedry enclosures ( they went there by themselves from other ones as all mine are in big box during the winter) and just sit under the water dish or in itCan springtails thrive and reproduce in moist species enclosures or do they eventually all die off and you need to introduce more?
I was just confused about what you were talking about with "the intelligent design concept." Are you referring to St. Thomas Aquinas' Argument from Design or something else?@Ashlynn Rose Clarify which?
