My personal opinion is you can never have too much filtration. So I would actually say to you don't do it get a better set up for a tank that size. It allows for a little wiggle room in your maintenance routine.

To answer your question it is not just a matter of how much water passes through the filter, it is how efficient the filter is. I think you will find that the Eheim has a lower flow than some filters but it is considered one of the best filtratiion system money can buy that is why it is one of the dearest, cost equals quality. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
