I'm currently in the stage where I'm planning out my axolotl's habitat, more specifically listing out the materials to buy and then set it all up once I return home.

For the tank, I read that axolotls require a cooler climate and am currently considering one of those aquairums meant for nano reefs since they include a cooler.

I was considering something along the lines of this:

This is just an option that I'm considering despite the price tag. My only concern is that of the lights, wondering if they can be changed to one for freshwater and also wondering if anyone's had a similar experience since my searches on this site came up with virtually nothing =P
 
I've not seen these tanks before - one thing I would be concerned about is if it breaks, that's both your tank and cooler gone. What I mean by this is, if for example, my tank started to leak, I could just get a new tank and transfer my cooler to the new tank - if this happened to that tank, that's both the tank and cooler gone.

It says it's a fan cooler - you could just buy an aquarium fan very cheaply and then just get a normal tank and save yourself quite a bit of money. Though I'm not positive that's what a "fan cooler" is...any ideas anyone?

    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?
