I’m starting up a 20 long tank and I’m in a quandary. I thought I would get a mesh top with a square door in the middle, since I figured I would have to use a fan to cool the tank. Then I saw the ice probe and saw that someone had put it in thru the top of a hob filter, so I wouldn’t have to rely on the fan. Then how do you cut a hole in to a hob lid. so which lid do others use as a lid to meet the challenges of this. Any suggestion?
 
Most people seem to use sponge filters and just cut a very small hole for the airline. If using a chiller I think a lot of people are drilling the tank and using bulkheads. I am in process of building a diy chiller running inline on my canister filter with tight fitting holes in my diy lid for lily pipes but I haven't succeed yet so reluctant to actually recommend it as a solution.

    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?
