Too much flow for a 130?

Would a 1000-2000gph pump be too much for a RSM 130? Only power head in tank aside from return pumps. No corals yet. I found a good price on an aqua medic wave maker with controller similar to vortech.

lots run vortech mp10s - a lot depends on the corals too... I had a basketball size hammer coral that didn't like my mp10 on full
  • Flow: 1,500+ gph

It all depends what you're keeping, and how much rock-work you have... My setup (Reefspace 900, 60 USG tank) has minimal rock-work, and soft corals: adding a pair of RW8s resulted in a sandstorm and all the frags pulled into one calm area at the back of the tank, on anything past setting 2. However had I been keeping SPS on a rock-work-heavy wall, then setting 2 would have been woefully inadequate.
Give us a bit more info on what's in your tank, and I'm sure you'll get some good advice!
