a 3000 gph pump connected to a 50g trash can (or three) filled with media would prolly work

He has a number of 1000 gallon tanks and uses three 300watt heaters in each tank.
Also check out some pond equipment websites...

there are many heaters of 1000 watts and up....run a separate thermostat and power relay to control them. see www.mcmaster.com under immersion heaters

So you are going to be able to take care of a 1000 tank but you don't even know how to filter or heat it?
I think you should do a little more research than just posting a thread on a forum...

Yeah, how is it wrong for me to say that he needs to do more planning when you are so doubtful of him that you assume he doesn't even have the resources to do it?

Wouldnt asking people experienced in keeping big fish tanks be considered planning? I have never had a big tank but I want one and have the resources to get one and whenever I search for the kinds of fish I want or the size of tank I want I get all these fourms. I trust people on this board more than the guy at my lfs. Any help on what to read or websites for planning would be appreciated.

the starter of this thread was is a convicted liar, troll, and generally immature spammer. I think it's a shame he was allowed to post on here as long as he already had been.
