Our mix is the original ABG Mix developed by the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Each bag is a precise mixture of charcoal, milled sphagnum moss, fir bark, tree fern, and peat. The mixture creates the perfect balance between retaining moisture and proper drainage; it can last for several years if used properly! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This substrate mix is for most applications when growing tropical plants, in a dart frog vivarium, paludariums, live plant terrarium, growing tropical houseplants, etc. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to Use:\u003c\/b\u003e Pre mix the bag before adding the ABG Mix to the terrarium. Also, wet the substrate before using it for cleaner moving, the moisture helps cut down on dust. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When using in a vivarium with a false bottom, make sure that the water in the bottom never rises up past the substrate barrier and ABG mix, as this will quickly result in a saturated, sopping wet mess that is unhealthy both for plants and animals. Anerobic bacteria can quickly take hold in these conditions. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow much is needed?\u003c\/b\u003e All measurements call for a 1'-3' layer of ABG. \u003cbr\u003e Tank Size | Quarts ABG (4 Quarts = 1 Bag) \u003cbr\u003e 10 Gallon Vertical | 4 \u003cbr\u003e 10 Gallon Horizontal | 8 \u003cbr\u003e 12x12x12 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 4 \u003cbr\u003e 12x12x18 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 4 \u003cbr\u003e 20 Gallon High Vertical | 8 \u003cbr\u003e 20 Gallon Long Vertical | 4 \u003cbr\u003e 20 Gallon High Horizontal | 8 \u003cbr\u003e 20 Gallon Long Horizontal | 12 \u003cbr\u003e 29 Gallon Horizontal | 12 \u003cbr\u003e 18x18x18 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 8 \u003cbr\u003e 18x18x24 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 8 \u003cbr\u003e 24x18x18 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 24x18x24 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 24x18x36 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 40 Gallon Breeder | 16 \u003cbr\u003e 36x18x18 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 36x18x24 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 36x18x36 Exo Terra Glass Terrarium| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 55 Gallon| 16 \u003cbr\u003e 75 Gallon | 20","brand":"Josh's Frogs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51902849450350,"sku":"WBPETB00JJS9WOO","price":34.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/9575\/5374\/files\/71OMngGkp2L.jpg?v=1741695093","url":"https:\/\/petocartv.com\/products\/joshs-frogs-abg-mix-tropical-plant-soil-terrarium-vivarium-substrate-4-quart-1-gallon","provider":"Petocart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
