Okie i think i'm going to change my set up. i would like a more natural looking tank for my newts. also i have had them a year now so i'm thinking more water? how deep? what kind of wood is used in tanks? do you have to treat it? also i'm using a fluval 1plus filter but i don't think its very good and would like to upgrade but with out upsetting my newts with the currents. anyone recomemnd a filter?

my tank is 2ftx1ft
this is my existing set up

I would increase the water level quite a lot, the newt will apreciate it inmensely.
