Definitely not too much. In fact id reccomend a powerhead to provide additional current and aeration. Its a great filter for bio but they dont have a ton of turnover for a 55 (advertised at 264 as I recall so cut that number in half)
If you want a completely clean tank mechanically id say add an ac70 or ac110 as well for the turnover and mechanical filtration.
These are great solid filters I have 5 eheim classics now and they rule. The only place they lack in is the flow.

I have one on my 75 gallon tank. It's a great filter, tons of room for media, but the flow rate isn't that high so it works great with additional filtration. I'd say it would work good on a 55 with another filter or a power head.
