do i have to provide a filter for my axies? just wondering. for the moment i change 20% of their water ever 3rd day and a 80% change ever second week, is that enough or will the axies turn sick if i dont provide them with a filter? would apreciate som answers. in addition i use airstones and use declorinators, but as i'm from sweden (hence the bad english ) we have naturally clean tap water. would the declorinator do good or bad then? because we have just a fraction of what other countries seems to have in Cl-contents in the drinking water.

From what I understand, doing an 80% water change would cause the tank to go into cycling mode, although by the sounds of it, your water cannot be cycled! However, I'm not sure if there's enough time for any NO2 and NO3 plus ammonium to build up if you are doing a 20% water change every 3 days... Jag är svensk-talande och bor i Tammerfors i Finland, by the way... |

Du behöver inget filter (men är de så dyra där borta? Mitt kostade €10 (100 Kr?)...), men det är värt att cyckla vattnet i akvariet. Läs denna sida om du vill lära dig att cyckla vatten: http://www.kramforskoi.com/vattenbyte.htm Om du håller axolotlar behöver du byta vatten ganska ofta - minst varje vecka, 20% om vattnet är cycklat, eller precis som du nu gör om vattnet inte är cycklat - för akoslotlar gillar/måste ha rent vatten. Kort sagt går det inte att undvika det och ett filter försäkrar vattnet i ditt akvarium är ju rent... Om du bara håller vattnet rent så borde allt går väl för dina bäbisar... Det låter bra vad jag läste i din post ang vattenbytandet, men det är väl värt att cyckla vattnet som jag sa tidigare. Lycka till, Alexander! |
