Welcome. Most folks don't consider their return pump as part of their flow. You're lights will depend on the type of corals you want to keep, if any.

i tought that i had a lot of flow but since i put my liferock i m not sure anymore . My Hammer coral doesn't move AT all. My Duncan seem happy. I have a really hard Time figuring out this flow calculation.

Howdy. Welcome to R2R. Yes, powerheads for flow. Think in terms of turnover rate: Total volume/powerhead(s) gph.
