Hi,
Congrats on your new turt. I have 5, 2 RES, 2 Painted and
one yearling Redfoot tortoise.
The rubbermaid containers works great! You will not need
a heater in it if your room temp stays about 68-70 because
with the heat bulb being on all day it will warm the water.
If it gets real cold at night you can use a red bulb over
the enclosure to keep the water warm at night. Red light does
not bother them when trying to sleep.
As far as a filter, I use the pond statuary submersible
filter. I use the 66 gallon one and all I do is every other
day take it out and clean the sponge part. You can get
these at Lowes, Home depot or Menards.
Hope this helps
