too much flow?

Do I have to much flow in my tank? I have a 29g, Marineland c-220 canister that does 220g/h and I use a Hydor Koralia 2 that turns over 600g/h, so in total that is 820 g/h in my 29g. It dose not look like it's to much flow either for my corals or fish.
thanks

your turning your water over about 28 times an hour thats fine, some people do more than forty. My tank is at about 35 times an hour.

My 30g has a 1400gph maxi-jet 400 with sureflow kit, a 400gph K1 behind the rocks to keep detritus from settling and a 600gph return pump (probably 300gph after pumping loss). anyway you look at it there's well over 60x turnover and I have yet to not been able to find a home for a coral I liked due to too much flow. you wont need that much unless your keeping sps but you could certaintly use another K2.
