Well first you'll need land and water. (more water than land) Dont mix any species with the newts or put any fish or frogs in. Make sure acess to land is easy to reach so the newt doesnt have to struggle to get out of the water. Dont have the water too deep the newts needs to be able to reach the surface to get a breathe of air.

Make sure the tank doesnt get too hot either or in direct sunlight.

Mabye some people can post pictures of their newt tanks to help you?
