looks like a nice filter but have no idea how it works because don't have a pond or a big enough tank to need 1 of those monsters!
That'd be great but you need to buy a pump with it.
As far as heaters go, use whatever you like, just make sure it has a guard around it that allows for decent water flow. Like a piece of PVC pipe at least 1 inch larger than the diameter of the heater with lots and lots big holes drilled in it (like half inch holes spaced 1/4" or less apart.)
You could get one with a controller and a titanium element, but you'll still need a way to guard it because your turtles could burn themselves bad on one of those.

Here is a picture of my set up in a 75 gal. and a picture of her basking.
Tank is about 75* and basking area is 85*-95*
In the near future i plan on getting a 125ish gallon with a FX5 and inline heater. She hasn't broken this one but she messes with it a lot. I'm about to switch the lines on my fluval 404 over to PVC cause she messes with the lines a lot so hopefully the PVC will be harder to move.
