300 watt will do, if you can afford it a wet dri would do great for you especially if you get the tank drilled, if not, eheim makes great canister filters. you will probably need between 50 and 75 lbs of gravel in order to show an inch. let me know if i can help you anymore

you can do a search with any good search engine to find some, but if you have any problems it is easer to take care of if you buy local.
