Product Description

Transform your reptile and amphibian enclosures with Zoo Med HydroBalls Expanded Clay Terrarium Substrate. Designed as a lightweight base layer, these clay granules sit underneath coconut fiber or other primary substrates to build an underground water table or natural aquifer. By adding water to the bottom layer, you can effortlessly increase and maintain optimal ambient humidity levels essential for tropical species. Beyond humidity management, this porous clay medium provides structural support and excellent airflow for live plant root growth, helping to prevent root rot in naturalistic setups. You can also integrate a water pump into the HydroBall layer to drive a custom waterfall feature and generate continuous water filtration through the granules. Sourced directly from the USA to ensure authentic quality, this 2.5 pound bag is a versatile and durable addition to any vivarium, paludarium, or rainforest habitat.

FAQ

How to make substrate for terrarium?

To build a naturalistic terrarium substrate, start with a lightweight clay base layer like HydroBalls to manage drainage and create a water table. Cover this layer with a separation mesh, and then add your preferred top layer such as coconut fiber or organic soil for plants and reptiles.
What are Zoo Med HydroBalls used for?

Zoo Med HydroBalls are lightweight expanded clay granules used as an underground base layer in terrariums. They hold water to act as a natural aquifer, boost humidity for tropical animals, support live plant root growth, and facilitate water filtration for waterfalls.
Do I need to wash HydroBalls before use?

Yes, it is recommended to rinse the expanded clay granules prior to use to wash away any residual manufacturing dust before placing them into your enclosure.
Are these Zoo Med HydroBalls authentic USA imports?

Yes, this product is an authentic USA import. Rudra Retails sources all beauty, health, wellness, and pet supplies directly from the USA to ensure genuine quality.
How much water should be added to HydroBalls?

Add water into the HydroBalls layer until it reaches just below the top of the clay substrate level, ensuring it creates a subterranean water table without completely submerging your upper soil layers.
