can you have to much flow?

If your tank breaks and collapses, then you have too much flow. In all seriousness, it probably depends on what you are keeping. If your tank is 100% sps then you probably can't create a (realistic) situation in a tank that would be too much flow. You certainly shouldn't aim powerheads directly at sps. Obviously, if your tank is lps and/or softies, then yes, youcould have too much flow.
 
I believe you can never have too much, its really where you are creating flow and by what means. I know if its too much/wrong place to create flow if sand is blowing all over and my corals are closed up and tissue is being swept away. I have an mp10 on a 29 biocube and have that thing cranked almost all the way! Wiz.
 
In my 55 I have a korilia 5(1650pgh) aqueon powerhead (500gph) just added today the aqueon powerhead(1650gph)
 
I'm also curious as too how much flow is enough. Is there a video out there that can shed soome light on this. I randomize alot for my tank and whenever I get bored, I will play with the MP10s a bit.
