Defo need to get basking lamp in there asap. And control temperature of the water. If you can't go out and buy a baskin light setup right away just use a desk lamp that point down over the floating platform. Also I have the same floating dock as you. Your turtle may have difficulty climbing onto it. I diyed an extended ramp but even if you move your rock below it so he can step on the rock then platform helps.
