Thank you all for the reply's.
I sure am glad that I asked before I bought.
I am switching to Tunze powerheads and was wondering....
Would 2 of these as well as my 600gph return pump be a system that would not need upgrading, hopefully for the life of the tank?

Hardly any other components have experienced similar progress in aquarium engineering in the past few years as the circulation pump.
The new Turbelle stream 2 is a very compact propeller pump with a well-thought-out design used to circulate water in aquariums or tanks. It contains several innovative technical solutions and adapts to the aquarium without affecting the existing biotope.
Features:
Eco-Energetic - The innovative motor based on the eco-energetic concept and newly developed pump technology ensures a very high efficiency with very low maintenance and power consumption.
Silent Operation - Special plastic bearings, a titanium-alloy shaft and silicone absorbers enable very silent operation without wear which applies for smaller models as well as for the more powerful pumps delivering up to 30,000 l/h. (7,925 USgal./h).
Large Suction Area - The water which is drawn in passes through a giant intake strainer, and thus prevents premature clogging.
Magnet Holder - As a standard feature, Turbelle stream pumps are supplied with a magnetic holder, which enables uncomplicated attachment at any position on the aquarium pane from 3/4 inch to 1 inch thickness.
Flexible Adaptation - The ball-type design is an intelligent solution for installation with a minimum of hydraulic loss. Contrary to other pumps, they offer a lot of flexibility with respect to positioning and orientation of the water stream, which can be adjusted in such a way that an effective flow is produced over a long distance in the aquarium at lower power consumption.
Specifications of the Turbelle Stream 6065 (Non-Controllable):
Aquarium Size Range: 66 to 211 Gallons
Flow Rate: 1717 Gallons per hour
Energy Consumption: 12 Watts
