Too much mechanical filtration?

My mom wants a small 10g aquarium in her room. I have a marineland biowheel penguin 200 (for up to 50g) is that too much water flow and too much filtration? For saltwater obviously!

No the bigger the better = cleaner tank. For a tank that small go with a nano tank that has built in compartment in the back for convienent and better filtration. Check out the jbj nano tank. Happy Holiday.
