You got it!
The UV and the spotlamp are trained on the same spot. And if you're getting hatchlings (less than 12 months) you'll also need to heat the water. An external filter is really the only kind worth considering, internals just can't handle the kind of mess that turts make.

Shame your so far away, as im selling most of the things you would need, very reasonably!
For what its worth though, I echo graham, an external REALLY is the only way forward, you wouldn't believe the amount of waste these guys kick out!

If they're hatchlings they need a water temp of approx 26°C, which can be gradually reduced to 20°C by 12 months old.
Basking spot should be 32-35°C.

It'll be fine, unless you have serious structural problems in your house!
