Default too much flow?

Hey, i have just begun to set up my 55 and was wondering if you guys thought that having three maxi jet 1200, about 300 gph, is too much. I have one as a power head, and one on my protein skimmer as a pump. I also have a hob mechanical filter, although I don't know the gph on that, I would guess it's around 100. If I add another maxi 1200 as a power head, do you think that will be too much flow for most corals and fish? My total flow will be about 1000 gph if I add the other maxi jet, if not it will be about 700 gph. Thanks
