Bioactive enclosure?

[Blue_the_beardie]

I'm planning on turning my beardies tank to a bioactive enclosure. Is this a good idea? Also, what is the best substrate to use? I heard that Bio Dude has some good substrates, but I'm sure there is a D.I.Y option as well. Any ideas?

Its a PVC tank I got from Zen Habitats, and its the 4x2x2(120 gallon). I would seal the edges, but I was told water can warp PVC.

I don't have any experience with Bioactive stuff, so I won't offer an opinion as to whether or not it's a good idea. There seem to be lots of pros and cons and differing options on it.

I have seen that Zen Habitats sells a "Bio-Basin" made to fit thier enclosure. How well it holds up I dunno, but it might be worth looking into.

Looks like it is currently out of stock though. As is the case with thier mats I've been trying to get ahold of for a few weeks now
