    as far as i know there is no right or wrong way of doing things, one good rule is make sure not to compromise structure stability for flow promotion.

    help us help you

    Maybe you could post a few picks of your tank and what pump you have. Pictures are worth 1000 words and may help get the help you seek:)
    I always try to do open rock work with higher end flow in my tanks, then make adjustments as needed.
