Hello everyone! I am new with axolotl tanks and I just have few questions about maintaining the tank.
First I have a very fine sand for substrate and I vaccume the sand after feeding and whenever I see poop with turkey baster and get the rest of it with water on the water change schedule.
I've read that there could be anaerobic bacteria growing in the sand and I was wondering what it is and how I can avoid that or get rid of it? Right now my water quality shows 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and very little nitrate. I use fluval 406 and I modes the baskets which contains foams on the first basket and rest of it is filled with 3kgs of biohome ultimate.
How can I keep my tank very clean? What can I avoid? I've read some articles about mixing/ disturbing sand during water changes to avoid anaerobic bacteria and some says leave it and I have no clue anything about sand. Currently I have around 2~2.5 inch thick sand for my Acura to walk around
Thank you for taking time reading this!
