Keywords: Picture of my Vivarium setup.

The substrate is coral sand. I've used it for years with no impactation problems. The dimentions are something like 48x18x17 works out to about 67 gallons.
Eat mat is on 24/7 under the rocks on the right. I have two lights a Red and normal light. Red is for the cold nights we have here in the UK the other is for daytime. That get changed depending on the season. (20-40watt in the summer) 60watt in the winter.

Nice setup. What are you using for substrate. I am trying to setup a natural viv for leos too, and cannot decide on a substrate. Thanks,

That came from a normal petshop. I think it is meant to be used as substrate for fish tanks. I would try pet fish stores. Best way in which I can describe it would be to say its like large sand, but its very smooth.

The above link is a picture of my female. And you get a close look at the substrate.
