setting up 20 G tank a yet to be purchased axie. plan to use Dr. Tim’s One & Only and his ammonia. Have API conditioner. reading they are sensitive to water movement. So what’s the best filter? Also looking into a aquarium chiller. A bit intimidating.
Thank you.
 
I personally use an AquaClear 50 HOB (hang on back) on my 20 long and it works well, nice gentle water movement. I have plants and rocks that buffer the flow a little bit.
 
Thanks. I use those for sone of my fish tanks. I found 2 pink axies that come with a 30 gallon tank on a stand & a filter. Not sure what kinda filter. Will know tomorrow.
 
I really like Aquaneat's sponge filters, especially the double ones. I actually go a size up with those since axolotls produce so much waste and you can aim the output at the wall to further diminish the already low flow. They're super easy to set up too.
 
I like sponge filters too. Not sure if same as brand you mention, will check.
 
I did, very similar to ones I have. Also use a few HOP and my big tank with a 20 gallon sump below is a whole different thing. Weird spiky balls on top of flat cut to fit foam.

    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.
