## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fill a 40 gallon?**
A: Fill, no, it will provide a nice base though

**Q: how much of this would be needed for a 18x24 bio active leopard gecko tank?**
A: Thank you for your question. For an 18x24 we would recommend adding 36 quarts of substrate. If you have questions about this recommendation you are able to speak with a representative directly through our email: customercare@thebiodude.com. We would be happy to assist you!

**Q: How many bags is needed for a 4-2-2 for about 3 inches deep?**
A: Good Afternoon!

You will need four 36qt bags along with four 36qt bags of the Bioshot for a self sustaining bioactive soil.

I hope this helps!

Thank you,
-Caroline

**Q: Do I need to have a bioactive tank to use it, or can it just be used as a good base substrate for a naturalistic tank?**
A: Thank you for your question! You do not have to have a Bioactive enclosure to use our substrates. Our substrates will work well in a Naturalistic enclosure as long as the substrate is changed on a regular schedule (at least every 2-3 months) and spot cleaned in the meantime. I hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this item and have used it for a while for my two lizards
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 2 June 2026*

Love this. I have buying this for a while for my two lizards. They love it. Haven’t had any problems. The size and what is advertised is true. Easy to use. Looks really good in my tanks. Easy to clean. I will definitely keep buying this item for my two little ones. Price is not bad.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best I have used for my Gecko
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 7 March 2026*

Bought this originally from a retailer but after inconsistent availability and a snarky attitude started buying direct. So much better and I actually think it’s fresher is more fluffy and moist than from a store. Worth every cent. My Geckos are healthier and way happier with this bio-dude substrate. Holds moisture well and the color is excellent for my terrariums

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top notch substrate
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 28 July 2025*

Seriously the best substrate on the market and worth every penny. The gold flakes add such a great aesthetic and if you plan to dig your own tunnels between hides, this substrate will hold its shape. It’s easy to use, holds moisture as well as any non-wood substrate could, and won’t cause impaction. I highly recommend this product, even after the shipping costs are figured in; it ships fast and doesn’t get any better.
