I am currently in the process of setting up a 40-gallon breeder for my 3 young adult axolotls. I have been using an Aqueon filter in the 20 gallon, that I had them in as juveniles, but I am not overly impressed with it. I have no substrate in my tank and I'm looking for a good quality but reasonably priced filter for their new setup. I'd love to know what has worked well for keeping your guyses tanks clean.
 
Aquaclears are relatively inexpensive, easy to use and reliable. I would grab a an aquaclear 70 and run you old filter in tandem in the meantime to speed up the cycling process.
 
That's a great idea! Always a plus to speed along cycling! Do you have an opinion on the Sunsun canister filters?

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
