I have come across this substrate design that seems to work well. Living in a dry area, I particularly like the idea of having a moist microclimate available right below the surface.


Skip to minute 6:00 for the substrate explanation.

Has anyone tried something similar to this?

I have no experience with hydroponic setups and my first guess is that with stagnant water it will end up with fungus and mold a couple of months later. However, Jason Troxell (the guy in the video) seems to know what he is doing.

Wow! That guy has a lot of torts in one room. Most of the enclosures seem quite small for them to be housed in year round. I’d prefer to see him keep less quantity and allow more space for each animal
