Hi.

Well, My aquarium is almost finish after a remodeling I think is almost ready but now I have problems deciding what filter is the best.

This is my aquarium before and now, there are still some pending like the background but please use you imagination :D

Now

The size is 60x60x30 cm (2x2x1 ft aprox) that is 100lt (26.4 gl) I am currently using a Dymax Professional Canister Filter for 300l(79.2gl) this filter produces a lot of flow on the tank, I am working on reducing the flow by directing the out to the glass and enlarging the flute, this seems to work but is hard to be sure how strong is the flow.

On the other hand I am planning to buy a new one, but this time the EDEN 501 this is for a tank of 60 lt(16gl) which is a litter smaller that the capacity of my aquarium.

What do you think is the best option, if none of them, Which one do you recommend for a tank with this characteristics?.

I have annubias planted and some other plants that do not require to much light.

I like your new tank stand and lamp arrangement. For axies, I think you should downsize to the smaller filter.

    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?
