Question: High ammonia

No not mentioned as yet, Im using a 500 L per hour Bio Internal filter, i have a 3ft tank filled about 3/4 of the way. :)
 
:happy: your doing alright, its easier to do the cycle with the axie in a different tank/container but I also have 5 tanks running with an extra empty one and some extra filter media in each to establish cycles.

do you have any friends with fish/axolotl tanks? see if you can get a piece of biofilter media from them, if their tank is established, and put it in your filter or clean it out in your tank after a water change (will make a little mess but its the good stuff) this will speed things up majorly!

keep that ammonia below 1 ppm and keep testing that water as long as axies are in there! :happy:
 
Unfortunately no here in Aus they're pretty few and far between. But I have purchased some live bacteria to help speed things up
 
Just curious what brand of live bacteria you got? Because in me experience the big cheapo brands are a big rip off an don't work.
 
And so it should! I should be studying, instead I'm cleaning, feeding, pooper scooping and testing axolotls :rolleyes:
 
Getting there, ammonia is still quite high considering the changes I'm doing, nitrite has dropped from 1.0 to .50 and nitrate has started to rise :)
 
Newest update! Nitrate is at 5.00 ppm, ammonia has dropped to .25 ppm (if not lower, it's very feint green)
