Too much filtration?

[Skittle]

I have a marineland penguin 350 and plan on puttin another one on, thatll bring the total up to 700 gph turnover for a 45 gal tank, is it too much? I didnt think so at first, but wanted to get more opinions. Thanks

Depending on media, its only running 200-250gph, the 350gph is the pump only rating. So about 450-500gph which is near 10x turnover, but hob's have some filter bypass in them unlike canisters and sumps, so imo it seems perfect!

it depends on the media....

bcz u could have 1000gph but with little media. or have 300gph but with 2x media. it also depends on tank size...one would b good
