Nice looking tank! My first newt was a Cynops Orientalis, still have and enjoy the little guy!
Just to let you know that deep sand can form anaerobic pockets which lack oxygen and allows dangerous gases to form. With that build up of sand on one side I would be worried about it. That also cuts down water area for you buddy to swim. If you need something to hold up the plants/plant area, maybe a clay pot or a large rock(s).

Hey Silox; that's a really nice looking tank.
I'm busy planning a few changes to my newts' tank.
How do you (and your newt, of course) find sand as a substrate? Is it easy maintain and keep free of debri?
I currently have gravel as a substrate, which is trapping a lot of food/plant/newt waste, hah.

Why are you changing it out every six months. Could you get snails and shrimp to turn the sand over and decompose some of it?
