Is that way too much?

i have a pair of 3s that im putting in my 30g. plus my return im looking at about 68x. it seems like a lot, but the dispersed flow pattern makes more turbulent flow, which is good. in the case of flow, i dont think you can have too much. as long as you arent creating a sandstorm. by boucing the flow off the glass you can get some massive flow in smaller tanks. depends on what youre keeping also. ill have to be careful when placing softies, etc.
