I am starting a new 75 gallon tank today for Axolotls. I am filling it up now, my question is, to start the cycle for its water, can I use a rock from my Musk Turtle tank? or would sand from my beta tank be better? (though there is not constant filtration on the beta, the current seems to upset him, so I only turn it on when the water gets a little cloudy.) I am planning on cycling the tank for about 2 weeks, I don't have any Axolotls yet. Thank you ahead of time!
 
Either one will have beneficial bacteria on them, and probably be just fine.

    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?
