Hey so i've been AFK fighting with this water in the cycling tank and because ive spent so much on tank purifiers and such i dont quite have enough to get another tank so i put them in the cycling tank i honestly was so scared patches was trying to get out of the water, so i have them in the new tank. it was what i felt was an emergency situation.
OKAY SO
what is a dechlorinated tub, can u explain in detail how i would go about doing this?? i would like to try doing this so i can get a tank into perfect condition for them. Also what is a tea bath can u explain this is detail? I am so sorry i just dont want to get it wrong in any way!!
the water they are in now is at
0.25 ammonia(this is using liquid test)
nitrite and nitrate on the stick read normal
the ph reads 7.0
but the hardness is way off the charts 180
What tank are they currently in? they are in a 28 gal aquarium filled 4/5th of the way with water. they are in the new tank i had started cycling but upon further inspection of my lil guys i knew they needed out and fast.
What kind/type of filter are you running? curently running tetra's 10 gallon whisper filter. supposed to be soft running and quiet sounding but it seems to have alot of flow, i wanted to using a smaller filter thinking it would have less flow...
Are you changing all the water they are currently in, everyday? previously i was not honestly. i was every 3-4 days doing 20% water change, till about a week ago. now i do 20% water change daily
What else is in your tank with the axolotls? nothing, just the axolotls, they have two hides, third one coming soon, its being build, plants crawls big rocks but no gravel on the bottom its bare bottom.
What are the exact test results on the water?
read above.
Thanks for such helpful responces, hope to hear from you soon!
