Nice setup. Did you try keeping them aquatic, which is what I'm going to *try* to do with mine? However, I failed to achieve this with my C.orientalis, so I've had to resort to the old "shallow aquatic setup". I believe the reason is temperature related (too high).

not so much on topic, but a reply to Alan:
I'm keeping my c.orientalis fully aquatic. At start I had some problems with that too, even though the tank was perfect for them.
One thing I changed, I removed the filter, it was not the current as the flow was blocked, but the noise the filter made. Two weeks after removing the filter the newts stayed in the water practicly all the time.
Now, all the time.
Sorry to interrupt topic. Great looking setup AJJ. For a moment I thought they were actually taken outdoors.

Interesting Joeri. I had a small box filter in with mine, temp about 22C. *Kept* climbing the glass. Gave in eventually and moved them to a 3.5 litre box with about 2cm of water at 20C:
Not as nice as your setup AJfr0ggy, but 24 hours later, they are all aquatic again! Filter theory is interesting Joeri.
