Just had a quick look, first thought is you don't really want gravel as its small enough for the turtles to "eat" and cause impaction, which is serious. Much larger stones are better and also easier to keep clean.

I would definitely ditch the gravel for the same reason.

You really need more plants and branches for the Musks to climb too.

its a lovely looking tank but as said above lose the gravel maybe use sand or river rock. also add some plants and branches for them to rest on and hide in.
