Really need to fill both aquariums with much much more water. Technically need way bigger aquariums for both. If can't afford atm atleast fill the tanks so basking platform is raised as high as it can go till you get a bigger tank. You may need a water heater and you definitely need a basking light even a normal lightbulb gives off heat if it's close enough. Turtles must get out of water and beable to dry off under heat. Also need a UVB bulb for proper health.
Without a filter you'd have to change water ever couple of days and apply water conditioner each time
Turtle are expensive to start up but once properly setup are low cost.
Buying the right size for adult to start is always best option.
Sorry lots of input but a lot of people don't realize that tiny turtle some a$$hole selling on a street shop is very costly and require a lot of effort
