JUST GOT A GREEK TORTOISE...

I got a greek tortoise about a month ago and I'm pretty new to the whole thing. So I guess I'm looking for any pointers as to what kind of variety of food I need to be feeding him. Right now he is in a 20 gal. tank with a 75w lamp, food and water bowls, and a log to hide under. The tank usually remains around 81 degress during the day when the lamp is on and around 72 degress at night when the lamp is off. I have been feeding him mostly kale and collard greens and every other 2 days or so, I mix in some pieces of apple or cranberries. I live in pennsylvania in an apartment so he is pretty much livign indoors at all times. Is this bad? Upon reading through some other threads, I noticed a lot of people keep their tortoises outdoors a lot of the time. I intend on either building him a bigger encloser in the next month or two or simply buying a bigger tank (most likely a 50 gal).

Any pointers or helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
