Check out their specs online for the heating size/dimension you need
And keep in mind that you can pair up or triple what they recommend - you don't need to run just 1 heater. And running more than you need is safer anyway
There are also titanium heaters out there you could look into
Some need controllers, and some come with
For a pump you could always go with the old standby that never fails - the Eheim 1262
Rock-solid pump that will last you for years and years

+1.
DC pumps have all the cool modern features, but there have been many documented failures of the controllers and power supplies.
I'm not saying don't try one, but it's probably a good idea to have an AC pump available as a back up. The Eheim 1262 is killz!
