How much flow in a biocube 29?

I kinda want to up my flow in my biocube 29 to accommodate sps and help get rid of algae and dino. I currently have the stock 243 return and a koralia 425. Should i get rid of the koralia and replace it with a 750? would that be too much?

I would also replace the stock pumps with Cobolt maxi jet 1200's. Not cheap but worth it. The stock ones will die eventually anyway. Even the normal maxijet 1200 are a solid upgrade

What type of light, how old is light and how long do you run it? Just thinking this as well as flow may be part of the problem.
