What is the Exo Terra Bio Drain Mesh Cut To Size?
The Exo Terra Bio Drain Cut To Fit Terrarium Draining Mesh is a non‐toxic, non‐decomposable drainage mesh designed to separate the drainage layer from the decorative substrate in a terrarium. It forms part of the drainage system, helping to prevent substrate particles from entering the drainage layer while allowing water to flow freely. When paired with a drainage substrate, it supports natural filtration and enables the creation of waterfalls, streams, and other water features.

How do I install the Exo Terra Bio Train Mesh Cut To Size?
The mesh is designed to be trimmed to fit your terrarium perfectly, and works alongside the draining substrate to create a healthy drainage system. The installation process is simple:
- Place the terrarium on a level surface and clean the waterproof base
- Wash and evenly spread drainage substrate
- Create a water section by removing substrate where desired
- Trim the mesh to fit the internal dimensions of your terrarium
- Lay the mesh over the substrate and separate water and land areas using moss, bark, or rocks
- Add a biological substrate to the land section
- Add live plants, mosses, and ferns, and cover with leaf litter
- Add an aquatic substrate, such as pebbles or sand, to the water section before filling with water
What are the features of the Exo Terra Bio Drain Mesh Cut To Size?
The mesh and drainage substrate are both non‐organic, meaning they will not rot or break down over time. For enhanced biological filtration, beneficial bacteria can be added to the water, while decorative top‐layer substrates can be used to complete the terrarium.
Thie mesh is 90 x 45cm, and is designed to be cut to fit.
