tunze 6000 on a small tank

[jimsflies]

I currently have a 29 gallon tank with softies (lots of zoos, lots of toadstool type leathers, and some mushrooms). I want to upgrade to a slightly larger tank and I am looking at a 50 gallon that is 30 longx18 widex19 high. Would a tunze 6000 be too much flow for my tank? And would it look stupid because of the size?

I should add that I am currently running 2 seios (a 620 and an 820) and I am happy with the volume of flow, but would like to get something a more reliable that is controllable and that would do the same as both of these with one pump.

Again, would the 6000 work well for me? Or would it be advisable to go with something else on a tank this small?

I don't think it would be any more bulky than the two pumps you have. The flow would be extreme and it is different from a Seio because the Seio flow is a hollow ring, this creates a solid column of flow. I really cannot speak from experience on this one so you might see if anyone else chimes in.
