hello!
i'm trying to develop a good cleanup process for removing axolotl waste. i have this nifty siphoning vacuum (mine is the mini) that is great for removing yucky water and waste along the bottom... but not so great for putting new water back in. it also sucked up quite a bit of my substrate.
the only way for me to add new, clean water to Gilligan's tank is by refilling a small pitcher and pouring it as gently as i can. i tend to submerge the pitcher a bit so its not quite so harsh. as you can imagine, this was a tad too stressful for little Gill and I would much rather do it a different way, for his sake.
so! i'm just curious about how you guys clean your tanks? got any good tips of the trade for a newbie?
thanks!!
