I'm currently in the stage where I'm planning out my axolotl's habitat, more specifically listing out the materials to buy and then set it all up once I return home.

For the tank, I read that axolotls require a cooler climate and am currently considering one of those aquairums meant for nano reefs since they include a cooler.

I was considering something along the lines of this:

This is just an option that I'm considering despite the price tag. My only concern is that of the lights, wondering if they can be changed to one for freshwater and also wondering if anyone's had a similar experience since my searches on this site came up with virtually nothing =P
 
I've not seen these tanks before - one thing I would be concerned about is if it breaks, that's both your tank and cooler gone. What I mean by this is, if for example, my tank started to leak, I could just get a new tank and transfer my cooler to the new tank - if this happened to that tank, that's both the tank and cooler gone.

It says it's a fan cooler - you could just buy an aquarium fan very cheaply and then just get a normal tank and save yourself quite a bit of money. Though I'm not positive that's what a "fan cooler" is...any ideas anyone?

    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
