LPS questions?!?!

i have a 10 gallon with 2X36w combo pc's and a tank that turns-over water about 20-25 times an hour from 4 different sources.

 

my question is...

 

i want to go the LPS route in terms of corals and i've been reading that they require lower light levels and medium water flow. is the water flow in my tank too much for LPS? is the lighting okay? and i've been reading that LPS likes to be in the substrate...? is that true?

 

any help would be great!

it depends, if your water velocity is high, ( the speed it leaves the source) it may be, If the flow is high, but the velocity is low, i.e. larger output head... Then there shouldn't be a prob.
