Okay well I've had my fuzhong for a while now and need to see if my set up is correct or not. He is mainly aquatic and rarely goes to his "land area". I would post some pictures, but my digital camera isn't working at the moment; so if anyone could show their set ups that would be great ;)

Also I was looking at a Aquarium Systems Duetto Multi-Filter 14 GPH or a Hagen Fluval 1 Plus 52 gph, but I only have a 10 gallon tank so would the duetto work just fine or should get the fluval which is meant for aquariums up to 30 gallons?
 
For newt tanks, I would usually go down a size in filters, not up, because most newts don't like a current. In the case of a warty newt, they don't mind a bit of current. I think I would still go with the Duetto though, I just like these filters.

If you haven't found this yet:

Warty newts like to stay hidden, so I'd recommend plenty of hiding spots in the tank. My hongkongensis really loves to sit in a hollow log ornament that is near the surface of the water. He's in water, but he doesn't have to come up to breathe, and he's mostly hidden. He seems pretty contented, though lazy.
 
Okay, thanks I was thinking that the duetto would be the better choice for that size of a tank.

Yes I have read the article, but was wondering if anyone had some other pictures.
