Hey everyone. So I’m getting a 135g tank but my problem is that I’m getting confused by the things in my title [emoji23]

Heater: It’s hard to find a good heater that’ll last me and that’ll work for a 135g, I’ve researched loads about wattage and stuff but I can’t figure out what wattage I’d need for that size tank, I’ll have a sump as well so it’ll be going into a sump and because I’m in the uk it makes it even more confusing because the really good heaters are made in the U.S, so does anyone know any good ones that’ll last?

Filters & Sump: When you have a sump what kind of filter would you need because I know if you have a sump it helps a lot and I’m going to have a filter sock but what kind of filter would I need? A HOB or external ?

Lighting: The tank I’m buying is a marine tank with a lid http://m.ndaquatics.co.uk/nd-product/64
But my question is, I have no clue what kind of lighting fits in a lid like that and it doesn’t say what the lid looks like on the inside so I don’t know what lighting you’d be able to put in it, does anyone have a tank with a lid like this?
 
Multiple heaters with a controller for added protection Incase of failure.

There are several different cheap controllers at RS or MD
