Bioactive tanks are complex ecosystems. We simplify the science so you can focus on the art of keeping your pet happy.

Precision Sizing: Never guess again. Calculate the exact volume of substrate and leaf litter needed for your specific tank dimensions.

Safety First: Not all plants are safe. Our database filters out toxic species so you never accidentally poison your cleanup crew or gecko.

Shop Smarter: Access our calculators on your phone while you are at the pet store to buy exactly what you need—no more, no less.

A true bioactive tank cleans itself. Our tools help you pick the perfect Cleanup Crew to keep your enclosure fresh and mold-free.

Mold Control: Springtails are your first line of defense. They eat mold and fungus before it can take over your tank.

Waste Removal: Isopods (Roly Polys) act as the heavy lifters, breaking down reptile waste and decaying leaves into healthy soil.

Less Maintenance: Once established, your Cleanup Crew does the dirty work for you, meaning fewer deep cleans and less stress.

From $50 budget builds to automated misting systems. Everything you need to build the perfect habitat.
