I have a 20 gallon tank and 2 axolotls, and I want to buy a canister filter for them because of their better ability to filter the water. What is the best canister filter that I can get for under $125?
 
Hello, I use external filters and wouldn’t be without them. Currently Fluval and Eheim. They might be slightly above your budget but give it a consideration. They come in a number of sizes. Very easy maintenance. In side the units there are three sub sections (the larger ones have four) one I fill with fibre to catch large particulate matter and the other two are set up for the bacteria to work their wonders on the nitrogenous wastes. I even go one step further and put the water through a uv unit too which serves to kill off any microbes in the water. It can all add up price wise but I’ve got a fantastic collection of axolotls which I’ve buikt up and to replace them all wound cost a lot more than these filters. Have a read on the tropical fresh water fish forums. Good luck.
 
By any chance do you know the name of your filters and equipment? I just want to check them out

    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
