Aquatic Newt Build and Journal

Fluval U1 and then I have a little airbubbler with a sponge filter on it because I was getting biofilm with the filter alone.

In a different newt tank I tried using intank filters for a bit including the U1 but I was never happy with the job they did.

You can try just using the sponge filter, or use a small canister with a ball valve. The later requires you to make or modify a top to use the lily pipes. That is obviously my preference, but I have a good amount of diy ability. You can also drill the tank and install bulkheads and use a canister filter if that makes it easier.

That sounds very complicated for me haha I will opt for the sponge filters haha

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
