Is 24x turnover too much?

Is 24x tank volume turnover too much for a set up intended for easy SPS (pavonas, Montis) and softies (primarily zoas)? 30cm cube water volume about 20l after accounting for sand/rock displacement 

Ta!

"Turnover" is a fairly useless number without context.  In particular, what pumps are you talking about?  

 

Most modern pumps generate a lot of GPH without much force, so "turnover" numbers in some tanks can get into the triple digits without having "too much" flow.   (Low force-flow can be useful, but also lowers the potential "bang for your buck" in terms of the amount of work a pump can do.)
