too much filtration?

[infamous]

Is there such a thing as too much filtration? Currently, i have 3 fluval 304s (260ish Gallons/h) running on my 100G which equals almost 800G/h.. is this too much?

Depends on what type of fish you are keeping

Is there possible to have too much filtration? Not saying that yours is, but if you had to much filtration and too little bioload for it, wouldn't that mess up your water or am I just being stupid....

as of now i have three little Nandopsis haitiensis, a few little severums (yes i am aware that they won't last long), four silver dollars, and a sailfin pleco.

You have quite a stock for a 100 gallon what are the sizes of these guys?

pleco is about 10", Nandopsis haitiensis are 2-3", severums are 2" and 4", silver dollars are about 4". In the end i plan on keeping the pleco and a single or possibly a pair of the Nandopsis haitiensis.

no such thing as too much filtration.. however you can have to much flow..
if you have more filtration than you have bioload then its not really doing anything other than moving water through media..

okay perfect thanks for the info. now what would be a good indication of too much flow? i understand Nandopsis haitiensis naturally live in faster flowing waters with much arration, so maybe more flow is a good thing for this species?
