Filters too strong...never heard of that. the more flow the better
Water quality is everything carbon and phosphate removers help along with water changes
When your tank is stable consider adding snails and crabs
I have not check nitrate and phophate for a few weeks. I'll run some test later today.
About the too strong filtration thing, I am reffering to what I have been told by the guy who sold me the filter. That filter kept my No3 and Po4 to zero for a long time but as I have been told, it also remove all filter feeders need. So I adjusted it and some corals are happier since then.

I will add some more snails (probably not crabs) next time I get new live stock.
