Is this tank ok? I made the stone decorations myself. (except the dock in the corner and the two white plants bases!) Otherwise I took apart the blue plant and put its pieces down on a rock with a "cave" left in the middle of them so my axolotl (when I get it) can hide there. The big rock cave is also designed to break the current from the filter above it (hopefully!)
I don't have anything else to put in there except maybe some more rocks from my collection... Any advice? I'm picking all tumbled, smooth rocks.
I realize the plastic plants are not the best idea but they are only there until I can get silk.
ALSO: having trouble with my water readings. Please help?
PH: 7.6 OR HIGHER (it won't read above 7.6)
High Range PH: 8.2
Ammonia: 1.0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
I put in ammonia detoxifier for now and I don't have any idea what to do about PH unless you think that "Proper PH 7.0" would be a good bet. I own some of that.
Thanks for any advice and help!
Right now there is one little fish I borrowed from my boyfriends turtles tank keeping the tank cycled but I'll remove him when the axolotl comes.
Here is my tank photo though:
