An adult RES will need at least an 80 gallon tank full of water to himself. RES get vary big and need lots of space. I don't think your going to be able to keep any turtle in a small area of that tank due to the amount of water most aquatics need.

They require very different conditions in which to thrive.
This set-up will cause one of them to suffer ill health
eventually. Also, your RES needs primarily swimming space
which you cannot provide in a set-up like this.

Hope this helps

Beardies are very *fast* it may also harass/injure your turtle
