Hello
I am having trouble keeping the water clean and I do a fornightly 20% water change and my axolotls speed around alot and all the feces comes out of the pebbles and causes the water to be cloudy.There is plenty of oxygen and filtration on low power and temp is fine.
I have checked the pH levels (7.5pH) and I need a Ammonia test kit and nitrite test kit but the shops down here don't have any so I have ordered some from another shop because Ammonia and Nitrite is so important to avoid toxic levels.
Is the constant blurred and cloudy water is caused by over feeding or would it be nitriate or ammonia. It is also very cold here. Is there any way to keep the water clear (you can still see the plants and axolotls).
Thank you
