There's no such thing as too much (biological) filtration, but there is a thing as having too many filters. At some point the only thing "excess" filters produce is current.

How many gallons is each HOB rated for?

On my 55 I just run a canister rated for 100 gallons beside a whisper 60. Very sufficient with identical stock size.

There is no such thing of to much filtration but you can have to much gph. You don't want to blow your fish up against the glass would you.? I would say you'll probably be fine but to better give advice we need to know the gph of the hob and the canister your thinking of getting. You should be doing at least 450 imo
