Looks good.

I'd add a background to hide all those cords. And go with sand substrate if you like it.

And you need a UVB bulb, UVA is heat.

I like the bare bottom look better. I agree with the background though. It will help the turts feel more secure.

Yes, the bare bottom look does look good in this tank. Just thought I'd throw the sand idea out there.

I would probably direct the nozzle at an angle, so your turtles are not pushed against the glass.
