Captive bred Russian tortoises haven't cost $150-200 in many years. Now days it's not uncommon to find them for less than $100 because so many are reproducing in captivity.

If you must use the 20 gal. tank, mask off the bottom with tape or cardboard so the tort can't see through it. I've always used cypress mulch for bedding. Let him go outside as often as possible & eat whatever he likes. The sunshine will do him good.
