Hello,
About two weeks ago I have set up a tank and today I set up another one to get them cycled. I added sand to it because they won't be put into the tanks until completely cycled+they are 6 inches. They are currently 4 almost 5 inches. The tank I set up a couple weeks ago is almost cycled through as nirites are starting to go down (They were at first spiking like crazy) and there is no ammonia in the tank. However, the water is still murky. I first put a filter in it but it showed no improvement so I took it out. I ended up getting fine play sand and washed it out every day for a week until the water ran clear when I cleaned it. The water looks much better than it did the first day, but it is still foggy/murky. We have fish and aquatic animals so we have Guppy moss/grass, vallisneria, and other plants but I searched up that those two specific plants are safe for Axolotls. Is this true? I don't want to put them in until I know that they are for sure safe. They are currently separated into tubs with daily cleanings. They won't be moved into the tanks until Mid August-September but I am just preparing and want to make sure I am doing it correctly.
