I assume your tank is about 18 inches wide...... In that case, I'd suggest a 150 to 200w heater. The filtering options, I'll leave to the experts.

id go for a 250watt that should be ample
a Tetratec Air Pump Aps300 they are virtually silent http/www.seapets.co.uk/products/aquarium...mps/page-1.html
and a external filter about 1000LPH should be ample too a Fluval External Filter 305 or something simular or eheim are quite good too and rena

Length: 36
Width: 12
Height: 40
