Quick question for all you seasoned axie owners. I want to get a chiller for my 40 gallon tank. I just need the temp to go down about 4 degrees. I have picked the Active Aqua 1/10 HP on Amazon. I have a Fluval 305 canister filter and I am trying to figure out if it will be able to run the chiller. Does anyone know how this works?
The Fluval has these Specifications:
Aquarium Capacity: 70gal
Pump Output: 260gph
Filter Circulation: 185gph
Head Height Max: 5.2ft
Media Capacity: 6.6L
Wattage: 15W

The chiller has these:
Rated GPH 160
Voltage 120
Rated Wattage 9.5
Rated Output Pressure 2.0 PSI

Will these work together?

Did some searching online. Based on the few sites that provided data for pump matching, a range of 160-250 GPH was recommended. Based on what you currently have for a pump, it should work.

(To reiterate, this is from third party sites and limited information found)

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
