BioDrain vs Regular Ventilation Mesh?

[JeanTownsend]

What's the difference when using it to separate the drainage layer from the regular substrate?

I would need to know what you mean by BioDrain. I googled it and I hope you mean something else than drain cleaner gel.

Haha, wow...I figured it might be more common. I didn't do a Google Search of it. I meant the product by Pangea Reptiles: Exo Terra Bio Drain. I was looking at their gecko diets and came across it.

I will bet you it's just a more expensive way to sell plain vinyl mesh (maybe it's pre-cut, but I did fine buying a roll of vinyl mesh from Home Depot).

Have you found a mesh that meets your needs?

Here's what I use to separate hydroballs from the upper layer of Eco Earth's coco fiber or fine grade orchid bark.
