I started setting up the sump for my 240g acrylic tank. I followed this tutorial:

The only difference is that I am using 2 X 29 gallon rugged containers from home depot. Sorta like this http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053 but 29 gallons.
I also am not connecting my 2 storage containers. Just having them use each overflow independently.
Everything is plumbed and pretty much ready to roll. The drain is 1" and all of the plumbing is 1" PVC. I need to buy some scrubbies and I need to buy some pumps. I'm a little confused on what size pump I need to grab. I am going to be using 2 pumps, one for each container. What GPH should they be? I was thinking of grabbing 2 eheim 1260 (600gph).
Also, I'm assuming the pumps will heat the water a little bit, but will they heat it enough? What size heater should I throw in the sump... should i use 2, one in each sump?
Thanks!
