I'm in the process of setting up several(6 2'x2'x2', 3 2'x2'x4', and 2 2'x2'x3') terrariums. I'm doing coco fiber, peat moss, sphagnum moss, and cork bark backgrounds using Great Stuff, Gorilla Glue, and Silicone. These will all be planted tanks used to house lizards(mainly geckos) and possibly a few small snakes.
I was not planning on setting up a false bottom, but a friend highly recommended it. I have a misting system similar to Mist King, and I was just planning to adjust the duration and amount of nozzles per tank to prevent the creation of a swamp. The substrate layer will be from 4"-10" deep depending on the cage. Would this be an ongoing battle that would be much easier to maintain by installing a false bottom?
