Well, I can answer one of your questions.

The flow is good for the water because it makes the fish/corals feel like they are in the ocean. Having flow is also good because some corals need food from the water, so constant movement constantly brings then new food.

I would say ive got a good flow because all corals as moving back and forth, just got a slight dead spot in the top right hand corner so dnt no weather to put another one in

It's mainly dependant on the type of coral you keep, softies and LPS will be fine with low-medium flow, as they don't want blasting so it rips them to pieces.

SPS like medium-high flow. I run about 60x turnover in my SPS tank.
