The 6060 and 6080 only come in 2m cord lengths. That is about 7ft and the industry standard for electrical appliances- all heaters, powerheads and pumps I know of have 2m cords. Besides the pump would only be submerged 6", with an extension you could do 12" which would likely be sufficient for the whole tank to be circulated- 3ft of tank and 3ft of stand means it should work just fine.
