Question about flow

I have a BioCube 29G. I have a Hydor Koralia Nano 240 and just ordered 2x Hydor Koralia Nano 425s. Current stock is 2 clowns, watchman, orchid dottyback and leopard wrasse. Also have a rbt anemone and some corals.

1. Will this be too much flow along with stock pump?

2. What would be the best way to position them if all three are ok at once?
 
when my biocube was running I used a maxi jet 1200 as the return pump and two 425s connected to a koralia smart wave provided good flow but upgraded to the jebao rw4 so I was only using 1pump in the tank rather then 2. I put one 425 on each side of the back wall.
and honestly the leopard wrasse needs a lot larger tank.
 
I was duped into the Leopard. He's doing good and eating well, but I'm gonna sell him soon.

Would you remove the 240 completely then?
 
I don't think it's too much. Put the 425s on opposite ends and stick the 240 on the back wall if you can. I used to have 2 -425s and a 240 on my 40g breeder and it wasn't enough. So I stuck an mp10 and a koralia 750 on it and it's much better. I like the value of the koralia but the flow doesn't seem to match the rating they are assigned.
 
Just don't point anything directly at the rbta. I think they like moderate indirect flow. I'm not an expert though. My rbta stays at the bottom of my 40 and gets some indirect flow from the mo10
