Hi Kwaka, tubs are great for small turtles. I would lose the brick though. Its rough surface could cause plastron damage

It will be fine for six months, you can always move it into a bigger tub if you need to.
Something not to abrasive is good for turtles, be aware to make sure that the turtle cant get trapped in whatever you use and drown. You can get cheap glazed pots that also look good.
