I just set up my 55 gallon tank today and I'm using sand but the water is murky and dirty looking what do i need to do to get my water clear. I have added a filter but that doesnt seem to be helping.
 
Did you rinse the sand thoroughly?
Some murkiness is expected - if it is very murky it might be worth turning off the filter for an hour or two to let it settle - some sands can destroy certain filter impellers.

Don't forget to turn the filter back on again

It will eventually settle overnight
12-24hrs :)

    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?
