That sounds like it could be promising and worth a try! Other things that I've personally done (everything helps, after all) is to try using a large, simple cooler instead of a tank (but set up as a normal tank--it's not very aesthetic, but hey, it works) and/or to move the enclosure down, either to a basement or even just placing it on the floor instead of a stand. Heat rises and even a few inches can make a difference.
 
I used both, a double fan on the top of the tank and I wrapped my tank with doble isolated foil (back and laterals) and the temperature dropped from 75F to 65F. Now my Axi is happy.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
