i take it that your tank is approximately 38 gallons....
i agree that the Hagan Aquaclear filters are great..i would suggest the AC 70 or even the AC 110..300 GPH and 428 GPH respectively.
air pumps can be very important..they can provide a high level of aeration that you cannot get from an outside or canister filter alone.as the air bubbles break at the water surface they release the co2 from the water and absorb oxygen..with a couple of good airstones driven by a decent pumpyou can do well with the AC 70 filter.as for an air pump......if your tank is any deeper than 16 inches i would suggest a Rena 200 or a Tetra Whisper 60 or 100..
i would think that any of these products would be available in the UK...

Best of luck in your quest..
