Such a thing as too much current?

Hey again. I've got at the moment a 2000litre/perhour powerhead and another 500litre/perhour power head in my 130litre tank. The 500 is running one of those tubes with holes in them while the 2000 is running a hose directed over my rocks to keep them clean. And again I have the trickle filter outlet returning about 550litres/perhour. What I was wanting to know is, is this too much?

:)

yes you can have too much current, it depends on what type of water movement your talking about as well, your powerheads that you have are creating a huge amount of flow in one central stream but then the rest is lacking so yes in a way you have too much flow in those specific areas but you probably have deadspots too. the trick is creating a wave like effect that is random and has a more washing effect
