Hydroton

  • Code: 200
  • Price: $4.99
  • Shipping Weight: 4.00
Quantity:

Hydroton (also known as LECA), is a pelletized expanded clay aggregate that is commonly used in hydroponic gardening. We use it in all of our Jungleboxes as a drainage layer underneath soil and other substrates. Hydroton is an excellent drainage layer because it is much lighter than aquarium gravel, has a neutral PH, promotes beneficial bacterial growth, and can be sterilized and reused over and over. Rinse well before use. Price is for 4 dry quarts. (One bag is roughly enough for a 1" layer in a standard 10 gallon aquarium or 2 vertical 10 gallon tanks.

Oak+Leaf+Litter

Oak Leaf Litter

  • Code: 201
  • Price: $5.99
  • Shipping Weight: 0.25
Quantity:

These are wild collected oak leaves that have been thoroughly boiled and baked to eliminate potential pests and parasites. These are excellent to use in dart frog tanks to provide a natural look and hiding spots for the inhabitants. It is surprising how much more often skittish frogs are visible when they have the security of a layer of leaf litter in their enclosures. These can also be boiled with distilled or Reverse Osmosis water to create a weak "tea" that can be very helpful to developing tadpoles. Sold in 1 gallon bags (roughly enough to create an adequate layer in 2-3 standard 10 gallon enclosures).

Magnolia+Leaves
