My little axolotl that was once housed in a 12 long, then moved to a 15 gallon tank, has finally outgrown the 15, so I'm moving him into my 40 breeder. It's bare at the moment. I'm curious what type of filtration would be adequate for a tank that size, that won't cause too much water flow.
In the 15 gallon, I used a cascade 300 internal filter, that uses a spray bar. I then pointed the spray bar along the edge of the tank to break up any water flow, since axolotls prefer lower flow rates.
Anywho, I will be placing that exact filter into the 40 gallon tank, and figured that, that might be enough for just 1 axolotl... but I'd like to get a 2nd opinion here, first.
I also have a fluval C3 HOB, that I could also use, but would that be overkill (in terms of water flow) for an axolotl, in a 40 gallon breeder tank? I could place something on the waterfall part/outflow to help break up the water's flow, if that's the case. =D
Here are some pictures:
(I took out the resin treetrunk/ugly decor/root thing, out of my 36 gallon tank, and placed it in here, since I figured it would benefit Axl more, plus the space it opened up in my 36 gallon, makes the tank look even bigger now! Win-win!)
(Here's the Fluval C3 HOB filter, along with the Cascade 300 Internal Filter... I figured I'd start seeding the Fluval filter since the Cascade one has been established with bacteria, since it has been running in the 15 gallon for a while now.)
