Hi. I have been reading your posts lately and I have to ask: What is the best way to set up a "Bioactive" substrate? I have mixed ground coconut, peat moss, play sand, and fired clay (which I found as unscented cat litter with carbon). None of this stuff seems to hold moisture for very long.
After a month and a half of spot cleaning and stirring there is no foul odor, yet I feel there is something missing.
I added orchid moss to an experimental tank that houses a green anole and a green tree frog, and that seems to be holding the moisture quite nicely now.
Thank you for your time,
Diego
