Cleaning Schedule

[GreenDilo]

So I really want to get a Pyxie, but I don't know how often I should clean the tank.
How often should I remove the substrate?

[Lija]

You need to stir the substrate once a week or so, change the water every day, completely change the substrate once a month.

Also, I'm wondering how to control the heat from the actual bulb. I tried to look into some thermostats, but I'm scared that the pyxie could eat it or something.
And this is probably me being paranoid, but could it drown in a deep water bowl?

[Lija]

No, they are pretty good swimmers, but they like floating there or if the water is really deep you should put a rock or something, they love to sit submerged completely with just eyes sticking out.

Hydrotherm is a best one if you are looking for controller. That thing will keep both humidity and temps spot on.
