I would increase the water volume...you can never have too much water!!!!
A larger volume is in both yours and your axolotl´s interest, since it will make the tank a lot more stable and able to manage greater quantities of amonia and nitrites.
I would also recommend adding more live plants.
Other than that, the tank seems fine. Perhaps an extra couple of hiding posibilities would be good.

I had a few more decorations and hides but it was too cramped they kept getting stuck and agitated, I also thought any more plants would get in the way when they swim and gulp air. they are live plants in case your not sure.
I have put about 40-45% more water in would you recommend having the filter outlet above or below the water level?

I have that same filter and I have mine below the water but pointing up so the water hits the surface. My axie seems happy with it that way. 
Cute little critters by the way!

I like your doodles with the hearts...and Azhael said..you need more hides in the tank otherwise they may become aggressive or territorial over that one hide.

Clareclare: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?+1
