Too much flow?

[bustedadam]

Hey all,
I have been lurking on these boards for about 5 months gathering info, doing research etc...
I am slowly putting together a 30g piece by piece. For the powerheads, I currently have a maxijet-600 and a maxi jet 1200. I am either purchasing a AquaC Remora Skimmer or the Coralife SuperSkimmer..both of with have additional powerheads on them.
I am worried that maybe a tank my size will have a little too much flow with all three powerheads. Any input would be helpful.
Once I get everything together, I will post pics of my tank in steps, to show progress.
Thanks!
Adam

they say you can never really have too much flow....
the PH that pumps your skimmer is not really flow, but rather to be calculated in your total GPH. so if you have a sump and a return pump that would be considered for both calculations...
these PHs are not all that powerful and it will provide you with a moderate amount of flow for a reef tank. some may say you could use more...
the 1200 may be rather bulky and a heat sink, so if you are going reef, then you might want to consider a small Closed Loop system
