putting the baby turtles in the tank?

Also did i do this right...

The big uv reptile light sits ontop of the glass lid and is nearly as long as the length of the aquarium?

the filter i have standing up, it has suction things holding it up. Its standing up-right, hope thats right.

and i know i got the heater correct cuz at least that had instructions! (was all second hand)

The UV bulb has to be put without the glass, the glass will filter alot of the UV and the turtles won't get the full efect that they need to keep them healthy. As to when to put the turtles in, I think that they can go in at any time you are ready.
