Okay guys I need help. I am new to sump filtration and need some advice on this stuff. I am building my roughly 4,000 gallon indoor pond in my garage and would like to know how big of a sump I should build? The dimensions will be 14 x 9 x 4 foot. I just ordered my tornado 10,000 gph pump and the liner. I bought a 25 x 30 liner so I will have left over liner to hopefully build a nice sump. The pond is going to house large fish so the filter will need to be good size to handle the bioload. Like I said I am new to this kind of thing so i need help on what I should do. Also, I need to heat it for the winter so what would be the best way to heat something like that to say about 75 F?
I need a little help, okay a lot.

i think around 25% seems to be a good standard. so around 1000g sump.
Somewhere around here too i saw someone posted a link of 1000w titanium heaters they were using in their large tanks or ponds. im sure someone will chime in with it

I saw those and was thinking about two 1000w heaters in the sump. With the flow of the pump it shouldn't be too difficult.
