A good home for two baby red-eared slider turtles?
I have two baby red-eared slider turtles and I love them very much. Lately they've been growing big and I need to get a big tank for them to live in. I was browsing Google and I saw this product: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754151&utm_medium=googleproduct&mr:referralID=NA&mr:trackingCode=BE648F51-F40A-DD11-AA92-001422107090&utm_source=cse.
The product features are:
A seamless, durable, acrylic 10-gallon aquarium system that includes:
* Seamless, 19W x 9.5D x 18H acrylic aquarium
* Hood with 15-watt fluorescent lighting
* A 50-watt heater
* Power filter system
* Trial size AquaSafe water treatment packet and TetraMin tropical fish food packet
I was wondering if this is all I need for the baby RESes? I'm new to turtles so I'm unsure on everything. What are the basics of keeping them?
i suggest a glass aquarium...i heard that acrylic scratches because of your turtle claws.

for my setup i got a ten gallon glass tank, filter, water heater, uv basking light with a basking platform/ramp.
hope this helps. good luck!
