You sure? 1100 gph is around 5x and that's bare minimum. It's really on the edge. I don't think it would work.

Yes, it's on a 40" stand already.

They put it on sale sometimes.

It actually runs two tanks (another one downstairs) as well as a couple reactors, all off a set of Ts in the sump. And always starts reliably after a power outage (unlike the mags).
Looks decent, a little power hungry though.
