Yess I want a video on cycling a tank!! Loved the video

Great informative video! Just put my sponge filter in my tank and it's awesome!! Also.. Because of you... My husband has said I can get more tanks, a rack system and keep more of my baby axolotls ☺️😁😍

Nice to see another British aquatic you tuber. I love sponge filters. Highly efficient and very under estimated. Keep them videos coming. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

I can't stop binge watching all your videos.

I now have sponge filters in all my tanks and love them!:) was inspired to go sponge filter by your videos

I would love a video on cycling the tank.. it seems super overwhelming! (I honestly just let it run for a bit, and hope for the best, which is terrible)

Another great video! I used to be obsessed with the 'nitrogen cycle', never even considered you could maintain an aquarium with no filter and 100% water changes. Sponge filters are definitely best but a small tip for anyone using external filters: angle the output either straight up towards the surface of the water or directly onto the side of the tank to disperse the flow for Axolotls. Also, adding a plastic 'reptile' plant like Frankie has (bottom left tank) in front of the output work great as well. A spray bar return also works with extra/ enlarged holes and the plastic plant again.

I wasted so much time researching the perfect air pump. All I had to do was find this vid. Lol their so cute. I want one.

Yes! Tank cycling please!!! Also, putting earth layer ender large stones for live plants

Love the video it's so useful and I really appreciate the information you give like how to use the filter and such. Very useful for new keepers.

I love the split sponge filter. For a few dollars more you can buy ones with bio media balls built in. I never thought about running that many tanks off one of them pumps. I have one pump per tank split. Think ill go buy a splitter this weekend. Awesome video, wish ya lived in the states so i can buy one of your axolotl.

Awesome video got my axolotl about a month ago now and your channel has helped me so much

I just got my aquarium today yay!!,!

Awesome video. I'm gonna give sponge filtration a go. I've been using marineland penguins for about a year now but like you said I've got plugs everywhere 😆.

“Uneaten poop” 😂 I laughed at this more then I should have

I personally use stingrays and they are amazing as you can change where the water comes out from

Very informative love it 🤟🏼

You do a wonderful job!!! Your content is very informative and interesting!! No worries mate xx

Great stuff Frankie. Yet again another cracking video. Keep up the good work fam. Might need to buy an Axolotl from you. Haha.

Will watch this one with daughter tonight, we have much issues with our Axie.

im currentley aqua mating my tank its my first one ever (from wharf aquatics) love ur vids

Thank you! I love axolotls, and ended buying one spur of the moment when they appeared at a reptile show! I was worried the sponge filter wasn't good enough! I would appreciate the axolotl care guide you mentioned, how do I get that?

I use canister filters on my two lotls tank. LOL.hampster wheel, too funny.

Congrats on 1k likes!

Your at over 10k subs now ! Congrats

Yesss! Love it!

Another great video darling 🤗🐟🐠🐡🥰 xxxxxxxx

Good video!!

I'm looking to get an axol and I bought an "AQUANEAT Sponge Filter, Aquarium Air Driven Bio Corner Filter Sponge for Fry Shrimp Nano Fish Tank" someone on my axolotl facebook page told me its a good one for lotls. It came with no instructions and I'm confused if I need an actual filter with it. I did buy the AquaClear 20 Power Filter.

I know this is a pretty old video, but is it alright if I use a sponge filter with a hang on filter in the same tank? (For axolotls)

A matten filter with the aqua one maxi 103f filter doing the work. (4ft tank, no sponges in the maxi, replaced with old ceramic noodles, cause why not :) Oh and do you use an air filter in your air line, like a sealed water bottle?

Which filters (if any) can be "connected" to a chiller? Anybody?

Hi, we have 20ppm ish Nitrate no3 from our tap, how can I reduce that level please? All other levels are perfect

I love the racks you have your tanks on! Is that custom built? If it is I would love a video on how to make one!

I got a sponge filter thanks to you and your informative videos!!! You make the videos fun (find myself laughing a bit.) I did have a question Ive been told not to use lights. Is there a light that is safe for me to use? Mine came with the LED on the lid. Is there a way to dim it down or can i turn them on for a bit during the day? Thank you for your time and hope you can get to the questions. Have a great week.

filtration videos are not boring at all IMO. Without that information you'll never succeed with your tanks

not a beginner but definitely not a pro. been keeping fish fish and reptiles for a little over 5 years. Axolotl tank is my next setup. My question is, would a uv filter benefit my Axolotl tank? I recently put one on one of my 30's to try and the water conditions are amazing. just want to have the best conditions I can for my little guy once I get him.

Do axolotls need pumps?

I noticed some of your tanks have more than one big axolotl... I have read sometimes they do not like to share space. Have you found you can safely house axolotls together permanently or is it until a certain age/size?

What size are your tanks? I'm looking to start breeding and was thinking of a 40 gallon breeder for my pair.

Should u always use the sponge filter for the axolotl. Also my tank has been cloudy for no reason even after cleaning , but I read that using a tank for the first time will cause that and it will go away is that true? 👍

My axolotl tank is very cloudy and there are little white particles floating in it. I’ve changed the water multiple times, the cloudiness started when I changed my filter and I’ve completely cleaned out my tank and everything and I don’t know what to do, do you have any tips?

which sponge filter would you recommend for a 3 or 4 foot tank?

Love the shelfs u got do u have a link to where I can get some am in the uk

My axolotl has a pellet diet because he refuses to eat worms and I have a sponge filter and two otb filters and it's still awful! How often do you rinse the filters?

Where could i buy a axolotl i cant find them in local pet shop i live in usa indiana

Was that sand or gravel in your tank, and what are your thoughts on gravel in tanks

I have a golden albino like lolly. I got 2 and was told they cant breed because of their genetics being so different they wont reproduce. Mine are going be hitting mature age in a month or 2 and because of the size difference i believe one is a girl and one is a boy. The shop i got them from doesnt specialize in axis but reptiles so I'm not sure if what they said is accurate.Should i separate them? Theyve lived together since i got them when they were pinky sized and will cuddle up to eachother frequently so i'd feel kinda bad seperating them from their friend but of course will ifthey might breed together, which i don' want to happen.

Hi Frankie, looking at getting back into keeping Axolotl's after a long break. I live in New Zealand and may need to look at getting an Axolotl from outside my district. Do you have any advice for transporting them over distances by car that wouldn't stress them to much. Also how should they be packaged for the journey? Thanks.

Please help!! I am about to set up my tank for my first axolotl an the filter I ordered just came in today an my order was mixed up an they sent me a sponge filter for a 75 Gallon tank instead of for a 20 gallon is this safe to use for my tank?????

Do you have any links for your fave filters? You should do affiliate links and amazon packs.

How often if ever do you have to change the filter or sponges on the filter?

We are supposed to get our very first Axolotl‘s Tuesday do you happen to have the link to the sponge filters I just want to make sure we get the right ones?

can u put two of them to a 63L [16.6 Gal] aquarium? i will have 1 axolotl there. For better filtration

Hello, do axolotls need filters as I have seen some that are just kept in a tank with no filter

Hi Frankie, is the zeolite ammonia remover good to use with axolotl?

What filter does he use? Like is there a specific brand?

what’s a perfect filter for a 50 gallon?

Hello! I have been binge watching your videos and they're great! Keep them coming! I have a few questions considering filters. I have a cannister filter that uses a spray bar. The outflow is aimed upwards and at the tank wall. I also have tall, fake aquarium plants to disrupt flow even more so. Is there a way to show us what good flow vs. bad flow is for an Axolotl? I'm still cycling and preparing a home and don't want to stress it out.

Frankie what sort of aquarium shelf are you using please ? Thanknyou

Hmm the tank i bought has a built-in filter in the lid. I suppose I can switch over to the Sponge filters if it's too disruptive . I'll find out next week

I’m trying to cycle now and can not get the ammonia levels to 0. It has been three weeks now. The fish store told me how to set it up and now I wonder if they told me wrong? Do you have the guide posted somewhere so I can see what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your videos. New subscriber! I just received my two Axolotl’s yesterday that are currently being tubbed. 😊

💜💜💜

I really hope you see this comment lol I just recently transferred my axolotl into a 55gal aquarium... I had an internal filter and a sponge filter in it while it was cycling... but the flow of the internal filter was far to high, so once I transferred her to the new tank, I took the internal filter out and just left the sponge filter. I do clean poop as I see it, however the sponge filter I got is rated for a 40gal breeder tank... I ordered a second one (I like the ones that suction because she used to drag the the sponge filters to the middle of the tank in her old aquarium)... would it be necessary to have a second one??

can you over filter a tank?

Hope its OK to share on ky page and group on Facebook Axolotl Lovers Ireland

Sad you are not posting anymore mate.

Good video... Small critique, don't spend so much time on the intro. 3.5 minutes before you get to info is a little much. Otherwise good stuff

Can you direct me to your on line shop please.

Old view is better
