Only you can judge the flow in your tank by how your corals react, if there are no dead spots, ect.

Numbers don't mean a heck of a lot when it comes to flow IMO. Flow patterns are so much more important.

And its not really possible either to have too much flow unless you really went nuts with powerheads in a small tank.

On my 120gal cube I run 2 tunze 6101s (3200GPH/each) and a dart (3600GPH) on a closed loop and I also use a Dart as a return pump.
So you're not over any limits but flow requirements are more based on livestock. I would say however you're under powered for flow due to the bare bottom, I'm not sure what advantage this gives you for only soft corals.
