no lah bro armageddon, think leo trying to mean the design of the planted tanks for newts found in that forum.

anyway Leo, for newts(aquatic) ones the design are kept simple for a reason, they need both land and water area, and most of the while the water area they need is about 80% of your setup, and if u want your tank to be outstanding, simple logic would tell you that the tank would be more like an aquatic planted tank.

this would in turn cause feeding to be difficult as most of the time u may have to meddle with the tank and u would want the food to be easily sourced by them wouldnt u? on top of it filtration is another problem, the outlet vs your newts! and not all species lives in deep water. haha so sometimes the easier way out is to have a simple setup or....... keep dart frogs loh.

terrariums are easier to maintain and to setup especially in our region due to the easily available mosses and temperature. other countries have to struggle with humidity control and heater and for them sometimes mosses are not so cheap.

just too bad both newts and darts are not available here. haha and definitely its not wise to go against the law to import. for me sometimes its just cross fingers and open eyes big big and see if lfs do bring in one or two
haha
hope this information helps.
if you do need to find specific information on certain species for interest, do approach bro Dkh or Lobsterman as hes one of the most well read on herps person i came across other than one or 2 overseas friends.

Are you keeping your newts in a setup similar to those shown in that website?
