Going to set up new pond in 300 gal rubbermaid tank- need filters and pump what do you suggest?

Hello All ?
So excited to redo the FRT tank. He has outgrown his old aquarium, and I wish to set up the 300 gal rubbermaid tank. I need a filter system, and maybe a new pump. Presently, I have an acrylic aquarium with a overflow system going into under cabinet sump that pumps back into the top of the tank. It's great because I can take all the foam filters out and hose them off.... But the system is an old aquarium and FRT needs space to do some laps.

? I realize you all are so much smarter than me, and have researched your tanks to the 9th degree. So me trying to use my brain, gonna pick your brainy brains!

What should I get and how shall I put it together? Filter and pump, also I need good heating because 'FRT's need to be warm all year around. Also to note I have not needed uv lights for water sterilization, I do not have a large fish load. ?

Thank you so much! ?
