I have a empty 300 wide with coast to coast over flows. I was thinking of doing a nice group of Piranha to get back into keeping. If I start with babies in this size tank will I have to modify my over flows till they are bigger? Should I turn down the flow on my pump so they are not pushed around?

Yes if it won't do harm to the pump and as they grow adjust the flow.
