As title suggests?

I've been told to look at central heating pumps. When I've got some time, I'll draw up the designs for the filters so everybody has a better idea what I'm after

Thanks :)

What type of filter? If it is a sump most people keep heaters in their sumps but for a tank that big the only thing I could think of is having submersibles in the sump and in the tank main tank. Do you have this tank? How many gallons?

It's a build. The place its going is in the process of being built. The tank is based on the diy trickle tower systems. I made a typo on the title.
It's 10.5 x 5 x 3
4252litres/1123g

I'm not home atm but tomorrow morning I'll draw the designs up. They'll be 6-8trickle towers running into a sealed, insulated main return tank. A pump in this tank will run the water into the tank. A bit hard to explain atm. The diagram will make sense.

Oh ok so that is not going to work. I don't really know exactly how people heat this size tank. Hopefully other members with some experience and knowledge will chime in.

I just use 300w jäger heaters on my 12x4x4. 6 total 4 in an overhead sump, two in tank. I have no problem keeping it at 82 degrees even when the room temp drops to 65. Heating the room it's self is however the cheapest and easiest route. I can heat my tank with only 3 heaters but they run more than if like.
