While testing my axolotl's water, I accidentally spilled a solution of 10 drops of API's Nitrate testing bottle #1/5ml of tank water into my axie's 40 gallon tank. I spilled about 4lm of the solution. Since the amount is so diluted, do I need to worry?
Thanks!
 
although it contains other proprietary ingredients (trade secret) the warnings for nitrate bottle #1 are for hydrochloric acid.
hydrochloric acid is used as a ph/kh reducer in aquariums (used as a ph reducer in steinberg's solution).
due to the secrecy concerning the proprietary ingredients it may be safer to tub your axolotl whilst a water change is done and activate carbon is used to remove any chemicals.

    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
