For that size tank you would need a minimum of 2 pumps for starters. Occasionally if there is a breakdown of wet side components, a magnet could come in contact with the frame cover and get gouged. Over time it possibly could start to rust. This is rare and definitely not the norm. It is an estimated guess the magnet and possibly a wet side component may need replacing every 15 months or so. It is a very simple do it yourself project and would only take a few minutes. I realize you may not want to replace any parts but scheduled routine maintenance on all equipment is what it takes to keep it in top shape.

ok so two pump needed,,,should i place two pump behind the tank or one on each side?? ,,,i like if it can place in the back so no body can see a pump hanging there,,,thanks

Ideally you'd want to place one pump on each side. However, placing the pumps on the back should work great for this tank.
