What role does carbon play in a BioActive enclosure?- Quick Answer

Amphibians in a carbon-rich BioActive enclosure

Carbon is the structural foundation of all life on earth, because of it's complex nature, it only makes sense that it would be incredibly important in your BioActive enclosure. Carbon is commonly found in the form of activated charcoal and carbonized rice hulls. Carbon plays a crucial role in a BioActive enclosure by acting as a natural, long-term filter, moisture balancer, and supporter of beneficial microbial life. Not only does carbon form the backbone of the BioActive cycle it also aids in the breakdown of waste and prevents the buildup of toxins!


Worried your BioActive enclosure doesn't contain enough carbon?

If you are using one of our BioActive Supply substrate blends, you don't have to worry; our substrate contains carbon and can support a healthy ecosystem.
