Well since creekcritter started it, I figured I would post my newt room and then if anyone else wants to post pictures......it would be cool to see everyone's setups.

Wow Audrey...It looks so organised and efficient.

Thanks for the showcase - it looks great!

I hope you'll forgive me if I don't show this to my axolotls...they'll mutiny! ;)

Cheers Jacq.

I'll share a few photos of my catastrophe of a newt room. It's a work in progress. Not all of the tanks are pictured because they're outside at the moment while I build more shelves because (as you can see, there are a lot of containers stacked!). Besides what are pictured I have 2 more 55 gallons, 2 more 20 gal. longs, 1 more 75 gallon, 5 more 10 gallons, and a few other odd sized ones.

...yes I know it's a mess, and they aren't great shots, but what can you do...

I'm enjoying seeing these photos (including yours on another thread, creekcritter). I'll post some of mine, but I have to wait for dear hubby to return from travel with the camera [drums fingers...]

Same tank in the evening:

later in the evening it will switch to this less brighter (not obvious on the photo) 'Blue Moon' fluorescent tube for a couple of hours:

Coen, in your third pic, that's a great idea to keep the sand and the food separated. Nice set up.

I was trying to figure out that 3rd photo. The newt doesn't seem to be inside the tank! Only after reading Jacob's comment and looking closely at the last photo did I figure it out. Brilliant!!!

Awesome set of pictures, you are very neat and organized Coen!

Just thought I would show some of my newt room. The rest I need to tidy up before I can take pictures.

Geez. These are some really impressive rooms. I would have to quit my job just to find time to do partials!
