Tank conversion?

[Elliriyanna]

I have a 10 gallon I originally set up for an axolotl Juvi but Since he is being moved to a divided tank and I am getting Cyanurus I need to know what I need to change for the cyanurus other than adding a land area

Here is the tank currently

In a small tank like that it's important to maximise the volume of water so i would start by filling it right up and removing some of the decorations as these reduce the amount of water you can get in the tank. Next i would add as many live plants as you can leaving an open area at the front of the tank for feeding etc. I see there is already a filter which should be fine left as it is. You should provide a small area where the newts can emerge from the water, either cork or floating plants should be fine as C. cyanurus are very aquatic but it's there if they want it. Lastly you should always keep an eye on water quality and also temperature as this can rise very quickly in a small aquarium!
Hope this helps :happy:

well my plan was get a floating Betta log, I have driftwood, crypts, and an anubias Nana which will be planted, I plan to get some gravel and move my 10 gallon sponge to this tank, take out the big cave thing and get some floating plastic plants. Sorry I didn't mention I was going to fill it and of course add a lid.

I am always watching water quality with my tanks, I am very experienced with small tanks.
