Nitrite should be as close to zero as possible, but the PH is varying over species.. What species do you got? Some species like "hard" water while some like "soft" water. What did the results show, if I may ask?

I searched google for; Axolotl PH and I found a wiki site for it:p I just copied it for you, as I don't got any experience with axolotls I'm afraid.
"Axolotls should be kept in a stable pH environment of between 6.5 to 8" - which means it should be neutral, as a lot of other newts - Chinese fire bellies for instance. Here is the wiki site for the axolotl;

    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?
