After a long time of having the material to make it, I finally made some time and finished it. I used the usual Great Stuff, Silicone, and coco fibers. I used a internal filter to make a small waterfall that empties into a small pool up above the driftwood. I put java moss where the water falls down to decrease the flow to a minimum. On the opposite side I have a large land area where I plan to put small terrestrial plants.
I wanted a fairly natural setup where the newts can be comfortable in water or on land. They spend most of their time in the water but if they want to take a break or explore this will give them the chance. I still want to add more live plants above and below the water but will wait until spring so I can get them myself. Java fern and duckweed to the water and some moss and ferns to the land is a rough guess. I hope to have a mature planted setup when all said and done.
I have added a overall pic and a closer pic of the "pool" area.
Hope you enjoy
