It all depends on your aquascaping. Just make sure you don't have any dead spots.

Jason,
You can never have too much flow - the problem that people run into is with velocity not flow. If your flow is too fast and things are getting buffeted around in the tank, an easy fix is to split your return into two pipes. It will cut down how fast the water is coming out of each pipe and will give you better coverage. - Chad

I have a 72g standard tank, I find 2 seio 1100's a 620 and the return are still not enough. But I do have the tank packed with a lot of rock. Go big or go home

but the 6045's are nice too i have a couple of them. mostly just to hit my other pumps to create more erradict movement with my flow...they are kind stuck to the bottom angling up towards the seio's
