Because those numbers are next to meaningless.

Too high of flow velocity at the coral in question is what will cause problems. High flow rates can be achieved at various flow velocities (eg large prop/slow revs vs small prop/high revs.)

I think you can have too high of turnover in a tank. Tanks are not comparable to the open ocean where the cross sectional areas of ocean currents are orders of magnitude larger than the 2 square inches of a tunze stream outlet...
