Have you checked out some of the hard pond liners at Home Depot or the like? My neighbor has a real small one, maybe 10 gallons.....and they go up in size from there. You could use a pond pump & filter....or cut holes for a wet/dry...

The for the outside, you could either build a wood type of housing, maybe some nice wainscoating or paneling...

Depending on the look you want, you could build up around it with lanscapers block....you know the stuff they make retaining walls with around gardens and such. I have seen outdoor ponds set up like this and they look real nice. You could top the whole edge with nice slate pieces (looks good, keeps turtle in!)
