More is better when it comes to flow in the tank--the limitation being the corals that you want to keep--lps like between 20 and 40 times the tank gal per hour. SPs keepers like alot more then that.
Where limitations of flow come are through the sump. The flow rates through a sump need only be 5-10 times the volume of the total water column per hour and or match the output of the skimmer--other wise unskimmed water is being returned to the main tank
