Will this pump work? Sicce Syncra 3.5

For a Deep Blue 75G Rimless tank.
GPH is 660.

It is new in box. I bought it for a 60 cube I was going to set up but decided to go bigger.

Thanks, Bill

should be fine. depends on plumbing as to the actual flow you will experience. just a quick note.... lots of flow into your sump is not better... if your goal is to get flow to your skimmer for filtration purposes, meeting about 125 to 200 gph through the overflow will be plenty to meet your filtration needs.

In general.. Commonly recommended sump flow rate is 3-5 times display tank volume per hour.
Total tank flow rate can be 10-100 times display volume per hour
