Healthy Enclosures Start Below the Surface

Mould, waste build-up and unhealthy substrate are often signs of an unbalanced environment. Springtails, isopods and suitable substrates support the natural processes that keep bioactive enclosures cleaner and more stable.

Build a Better Bioactive System

Suitable substrates, clean-up crews and practical care work together to create a healthier, more stable enclosure with less ongoing maintenance.

The Bioactive Difference

Springtails and isopods act as natural clean-up crews, helping break down mould, waste and decaying organic matter. Alongside suitable substrate and care, they support healthier and more stable enclosure conditions.

The Next Level of Bioactive

Tropical red springtails are a distinctive clean-up crew for humid bioactive enclosures. Their deep red colour and larger size make them easier to observe than common white springtails, while they continue to support natural decomposition beneath the surface.

Great experience dealing with Brayden from Eko Lab, i originally purchased the products online with zero interaction with a person, and unfortunately got stitched up by Aus Post sending things all over the country side. I purchased live products so was concerned about quality of products once i finally recieved them. Brayden replied to me immediately and on a Sunday / Public holiday. Despite Aus Post causing the problems Brayden was instrumental at ensuring i was updated and looked after. In a world becoming dominated by AI chat bots in sales, its nice to speak to a human. Thankyou again Brayden. I Will definetly be a returning customer and recommend Eko Labs.

I recently purchased some plump red springtails and a regular white springtails culture and I'm very impressed. The delivery time was great, especially as I live in a relatively remote area, the critters arrived safely, and the after sale's service has been second to none. I highly recommend this business.

Having followed your advice & buying an Eko Pod & Eko Jar, I am delighted with all aspects of my purchase. The plants are growing "Gang Busters". Have done some pruning within the Jar & don't look like doing any misting, for either Jar or Pod, for at least 10 weeks after set-up.
