I'll help with the question I know enough about. Enough flow for this system? The absolute most you can achieve without a sandstorm. Might sound kinda vague, but the return pump from your sump/fuge shouldn't be the one source of your tank water movement. Use whatever pump is appropriate for the sump/fuge, and to increase water movement in the tank itself, utilize powerheads; or maybe a closed loop system if you'd rather avoid powerheads in the main tank.
