Sounds like a great start.. I dont think you have to much flow. I guess you could waite and see when you add fish if they have trouble in the flow or adjust the placement at that time.

If you just added liverock you might have a small cycle again.. I am going through the same thing sorta.. I am on my third tank(in 5 years) and I cant afford to buy about 150-200 more lbs of liverock at once. So I really have to watch the cycles from adding the live rock... If you can afford ( and intend) on adding more rock. I would add it all at once. If and when you add fish it could be stressful for them.

Are you gonna get a skimmer? That would be a good investment and may do better than the filters...

Good luck and cant waite to see some pictures.
