I have recently bought and built a habistat 60cm x 45cm x 60cm tank and have got the following items a heat matt, thermostat, 24W uvb 6% kit, substrate, clay pebbles for the drainage layer and some cork bark branches. I am going to get some Dendrobates auratus and some mourning geckos. Would I be able to use the attached photo as a layer between the substrate and drainage layer? What plants would you recommend for the bioactive enclosure? What kind of expanding foam and aquarium safe silicone would you recommend? How should I go about building the enclosure? Could I please have some useful tips. I don’t want to rush into this and create an inadequate vivarium for either creature. I have watched some videos on creating an enclosure but would like some different perspectives. Any advice is much appreciated thanks in advance.

My snail has a fuzzy coating around its shell. It is a red spotted snail I believe. Could somebody please advise on what I should do ? Is this harmful to my snails?

Im planning on getting two female mourning geckos. I plan to add some dart frogs eventually. Are these enclosure’s suitable sizes? Im swaying towards the half moon and the 60x45x60. Im always hoping to add a small pond area in my tank.
