Show off your medium indoor ponds!

I'm trying to figure out what to do with a tub I have. I could use it for brine shrimp culturing...or I could put fish in it. It's a 4'x3''x2' (I think) black tub.

That being said, show off your indoor medium sized ponds! Medium in this case refers to a pond that's portable, but that you wouldn't drag everywhere because of how heavy it is when empty. I've got a post in the fish discussion section, but this post is here because I'd like to see some freshwater ponds as well!

I used to keep turtles in something similar many, many years ago. I had a platform up to a basking area that had a reptile heat/uvb/uva basking bulb and a little sand area. Heated the water with some titanium heaters which are turtle proof and a big external canister filter. They did great until other keepers suggested I move them outside... they didn’t survive their first winter outside.

I've thought about keeping a turtle pond, but it's always been an on again/off again kind of thing. I really like the "tortoise" look (stinkpot turtles, etc.). And at the same time, I don't know how I feel about reptiles. I know I'm not keeping frogs/amphibians though....
