Are plastic stoarge bins okay for mud/musk turtles? And what about basking?

I have 2 razorback musk turtles that I have recently moved into a large (~40 gallon) stoarge bin. The main advantage is that it makes it much easier to move around, and I don't have to be so worried about all the rocks I have in there breaking the glass. I was wondering if anybody has any experience with that.

Also, I had set up a basking are on one side of their previous enclosure, and not once dod they ever use it. They seems to soend most of their time rooting around the bottom. Is a basking are really necessary for this species?

Thanks!
