I would only be worried about heat. Watch your thermometer carefully, and be sure it's accurate as well!

For flow...what kind of corals are you planning? That Prism protein skimmer isn't particularly effective. If you're planning a full blown reef you may want to replace that with a more effective brand.

250w DE on 24 gal for me.
Heat is a issue for sure with my tank had to buy a chiller.
I also have a bit of a problem with too much light for some pieces of SPS that I have. My Catspaw I can't get any father than the bottom of the tank. Every time I try it starts to bleach. Some other pieces are doing great though.
