Sorry I'm rather new to the use of chillers. I had cooling fans but they could not cutting it with our hot texas weather so a friend gave me a 42 gallon chiller. We found a coolent leak and with the help of my hvac friend, we were able to seal and recharge the chiller with freon. My question is would it benefit or improve the effectiveness of the chiller if I have a cpu fan placed in front of the already provided air intake fans, to increase air flow. Ive been told the fans provided are not really strong but the chiller is designed for that amount of air intake. I already fans blowing out at the exit vents to help with cooling. Any help would be appreciated

I have never done this & have never noticed any issue. The most important thing is making sure that the hot air has a way to exit without overheating the area were the chiller is located otherwise it will work even harder & die.

    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?
