It definitely could be a combination of all those things. But I think most would tell you that good flow is essential.I've been using the spin outlet since setting up the scape, and stuff grows.
Granted, plant health is not perfect. There is some hair algae and stunting. But this could be due to so many other factors such as light intensity, low CO2 or nutrient levels. I'd blame any of these before lack of flow.
I definitely could be wrong. But in short I wouldn't say good (strong?) flow is essential.
There’s probably good reason you don’t see successful tanks utilising spin outlets and they all use oversized filters.
Just my observations on high tech tanks anyway.
