Powerhead question

I have started this week to cycle a 60g FOWLR tank. I have a Mangniflow 360, 40 lbs Caribsea sand, 60 lbs of Caribsea life rock. My question is flow. I have two Fluval CP 4 on order. Each head is 1375GPH. Is that enough flow? or is it too much. Until the heads arrive. I have one Marineland maxi jet 1200 (1300GPH) running.

Depends on what corals your keeping. A general guideline is 10-15x overall tank volume. Those powerheads are good enough for lps and softies. Sps might not cut it. Also pay attention to lps corals.... if their tissue is getting blown away, dial it down a bit

I am not doing any of that. Just fish and rock.
