The cage looks nice and all, but it can really be dangerous for your pacman.
First: As previously stated, pacmans aren't great swimmers so he/she may drown.
Second: I woud change the substrate if I were you; Moss, if ingested, can cause an impaction easier than soil.

My advise: A tank with around 2-4"(deeper is better) of unfertilized soil(Bed-A-Beast) and a shallow waterdish. Not very beutiful but probably the best setup.

My tank right after cleaning and he's just been in the water:

Your original setup would be great for any number of newt species, if you want to use it for something else.
