It's still a work in progress. I plan on adding more plants and rocks around the border, and a couple of basking rocks in the middle. I also have to build a bigger biofilter/waterfall. As you can see, the uv clarifier and small biofilter isn't quite enough when temps get above 90 degrees here. I plan on making a biofilter out of a 55 gallon barrel. I will fill it 3/4 with media and top it off with floating plants like water hyacinth or frogsbit. The wall is made of partially buried pavers stood on end. They are inclined slightly inward to make it more difficult to climb. The redbelly has never escaped, but the slider can get over if she really wants to. I plan on attatching some 4 inch tiles with caulking along the top so she wont have anything to grab onto.
