If I was gonna recommend anything,

1) I would try and add a 1 or 2 feet to the length of the tank, especially if you plan on keeping the Sailfin as they do get quite large..

2) Depends what style of overflow you want, but if you go with a Herbie, you will need 1 for your main drain, and 1 for the emergency standpipe. If you want to run your return back through the overflow, a 3rd would be needed.

3)Larger the better, whatever you can afford and fit under your tank (unless you can do a basement sump) fishytime has a decent 3 compartment sump design.

4)refer to 3^ he's got it all documented.
