Anyone use bio active setups?

I was looking at it a bit but I’ve dealt with fungus gnats before and they are a huge pain it seems like it takes a lot of maintenance and time. I’m not planning on using it, I’m just wondering what your opinions are?

As I understand, fungus gnats would come from moist soil. You aren't going to need a moist humid setting for a bearded dragon.

Bio tanks for every reptile is a good idea. With bearded dragons though, you want to make sure that you have a hearty dragon, one that is not prone to parasites or other illnesses or bioactive won't work for them.

I have one fully bioactive tropical tank and 2 semi-bioactive tropical tanks and they are so easy - however I am nervous to try a desert type one. I have thought about it but they seem like more work because you have to keep it moist enough so it's not dusty but too moist is going to cause problems.... plus my beardie is notorious for trying to eat everything. I just feel like a bioactive desert is going to be super difficult, and everywhere I've read that people have them for beardies it seems to be more like a forest floor type setup, which is not their natural habitat.

But if you have any tropical animals they are great! I've never had molds, fungus, gnats, etc.
