Get a duetto DJ100 filter, get some rocks to create a basking platform, and fill the tank about halfway up. The water temp should be about 75 to 80, the temp above the basking area should be about 85 to 90. You need a UVB bulb as well. You can also add some live plants or fake she will appreciate that since musks are very shy turtles.
