Sorry, forgot to say. The pump is 3600lph. Tank is 40” x 24” x 24”. Think this is only just under 10 times the volume so should be ok?

3600 LPH is around 800 GPH give or take.
Then you add all the elbows & height it has to pump & get your head pressure.
With a 100 gallon tank I'll bet you are around 600 GPH or less.
Use the head pressure calculator here on RC to see just where you are.
