i have just under 3.5"x7.5" to work with, and would like a 500+ gph controllable DC return pump for my AIO quarantine(Aquatop Recife Eco 40g). programmable would be even better.

anybody?

Sicce Syncra Sdc 6.0 Dimensions are- 6.3" L x 3.25" W x 4".
It's what I have on my 50 gal, Aio & never uses more than 14%. Very quiet.

Might be a tad close on dimensions.. it’s over your requested gph, but IMO it’s not enough for a 40g

strong start, leader out front! $300 is a wee-bit steep but wouldn't kill me.
Oh yah. I got mine during a black Friday sale ($250). It's my belief the pump is the heart of the tank, so why spend a lil extra. I'll be glad to see what's you end it with.

I’m guessing the dimensions changed because my eco 40 return pump chamber is measuring 2.75x 7.5 it’s going to be difficult to find a stronger pump.

my small jabao has been bullet proof on my ca reactor, on its lowest setting for 5 years

I have the mighty jet 326 on the lowest setting on this very aquarium and it still seems too strong. What did you end up going with and did it work?
