Heres the to be setup if that helps.
It's a rubbermaid 300 gallon stock tank, will have 3 giant rapheals-28"; 1 albino channel cat-30"; Leiarius pictus-30", all will be bought as juveniles.
Decor will be nursery pots turned to caves and driftwood, floating plants.
Filtration is going to be 30 gallon tote(diy wet/dry) with 58lbs of seachem pond matrix, 200 pot scrubbies, and mechanical filter pads.
The pumps that will supply the water to the filter will be in the center, of the somewhat circular 300 stock tank.

I think the biggest one is the model 110 @ 900+gph. At 60+watts and over $100 you could buy 2 Koralia4 pumps rated at 1200gph each and only use 24watts total. Or one @12w.($50ea, btw)
The thing with power heads is the concentrated stream they produce. The Koralia power heads produce a lot of flow over a wide path. They are crazy awesome. Awesome enough to keep ANYTHING suspended in the water column.
Just my 2¢
