Did you wash those rocks with soap? Hope you rinsed them very very well. Soap residue is extremly hard to wash off and it can hurt your turtle. To prepare rocks for the tank boil them in hot water after scrubbing them under running water first. This way there won't be a risk of soap getting left behind.

The new set up looks good, I actually preferred the picture you have without anything in the bottom of the tank though. :)
