Iv just brought a new 5ft tank and im just tryin to figure out what type of filter i would need and how to reduce the flow so i dont stress my axies.....

thx
 
You may find an external filter will do the best job. Your tank is around 355 litres so you need to find a filter capable of filtering that amount although you can go down one size which will also help reduce the flow.
For instance my aquarium with fish in would need a Fluval model 3+ but because I have axolotls in it I have installed a Fluval 2+. Hope you have found this helpful.
 
I agree, an external canister filter is your best bet for at tank this large. Like Becky, I also usually go down one size from the recommended size in choosing the filter. Congrats on getting such a nice large tank!

    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?
