I've had my axolotl for three weeks now, and he's doing great, but I'm having problems with my filter. I've got the Aquatop IFS10 in there right now and it doesn't pick up anything (I'm assuming because the filter media is too porous). The water gets really discolored and there's tiny particles floating around. I know its not from his food, because I take out any uneaten pellets with a turkey baster right away, and I also take out any waste that I find. As of right now, I'm stuck doing a 100% water change every week, and once I go back to my little dorm in the fall that will be pretty much impossible.
So, I know nothing about filters, but I'm looking at the Marineland Penguin BIO-Wheel Power Filter, and it's got good reviews and looks like it has finer filter media... Any suggestions would be a great help. (Please keep in mind I'm a poor college student that can't afford to throw lots of money at a filter.)
Thank you!
