hey guys I just bought a 800 gph pump for my 20 gallon long reef tank I was wondering is that too strong for my tank or is it manageable for the fish and the corals?

I have that size in my 20 gallon quarantine tank. The tang in there now loves it he swims straight into it but doesn't actually move. It works like a treadmill for fish. Sometimes you will have to move coral that doesn't like so much current but most like at least moderate current and many like a lot of current.
