I'm not sure i understand what your father is thinking but using an aquarium for aquatic newts would not be "changing a tank's structure".
If he is dead set on using an Exo-Terra tank i'm afraid the vast majority of newts are not at all adequate inhabitants for that kind of tank. Not even remotely. He should either consider an standard aquarium, or other kinds of inhabitants.
He gets home tomorrow, so I'll talk to him about either using the 36 gallon or finding a tank off craiglist.

    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?
