Hello!
Mid August, I had a crazy ammonia spike in my 20reg tank for my Axolotl, so I tubbed him at once, and have been trying to cycle his tank ever sense. I finally got my hands on some sea chem stability and prime- so I did a partial water change the other day. I've been adding 'Stability" in the tank every day for five days, and I have been taking water tests with the full test kid, Nitrates- nitrites- ammonia- and Ph.
Before adding the 'Stability' I had crazy high ammonia-
Tuesday- Ammonia was high- nitrates were 0
Wednesday- Ammonia was low but still present- however my Ph was crazy low. I did a 45% water change.

Thursday- Ph went down but Ammonia went up.

Today, everything seems fine. What do you guys thing? Can I put my Axolotl back in his tank? He hates being in the tub and he's not eating well. Should I wait another day or so just to be safe or do you guys think it's ok now?

Thanks for the help!
 
I think I'd wait one more day and see if it's stable, and then return him, and check it again daily to be sure. Good luck.

    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
