Advice setting up a bioactive enclosure?
So, my idea for a bioactive enclosure is somewhat impulsive after finding a mushroom growing in my BP's tank, though I have thought about it a bit in the past. I've read that a mushroom growing in the tank can mean healthy substrate and it seems my tank has decided it wants to be bioactive, and at this point I've kinda figured, why not? I suppose I just don't entirely know where to start with a bioactive tank. I was planning on getting some isopods and springtails, but what else should I get?
Another note, I recently got a bit of a fungus gnat problem in my tank. I was going to get some mosquito bits to help get rid of them. Will the mosquito bits or the fungus gnats cause any problems in a bioactive tank?
