I finally found a tank for our the turtle we kept, Its 60 Gallons, way bigger than the 21 gallon Rubbermaid i had him on before. It came with a filter, but i don't think its going to be good enough for her, and a heater. I found it at craigslist for $40, and got him to lower it for $35!!!!!!!

Very good deal! Though you want a stronger stand (looks like its on a bench?), water weighs over 8lb a gallon. Filled up, that aquarium will be over 500 lb. Plus, tanks are usually supported around the rim.

Location is good, but is that wood of some sort in there? I'd go with a taller piece of milk crate. Usually the only type of wood that is acceptable is driftwood or cork bark.
