Newbie with a 55 gallon Reef Tank

I just upgraded to a 55 gallon tank because my 1 year old cracked my tank with a toy. The tank is completely cycled and my clean up crew is doing a magical job cleaning my rock covered in brown algae. I have about 30 lbs of live rock and 50 lbs of dry rock that is turning live. I also have to paired clown fish. I have two separate 30-60 gallons per minute Aqua-Tech HOB filter which keeps the tank crystal clear. I also have a Eshoops 100h protein skimmer in between them which is skimming if arse off...

My goal is to have an established softie tank and I am running 2 separate Koralia 800gph powerheads on either side of the tank.... is this enough flow or should I change one of them with a 1250 or 1400gph powerheads??

In general for a 55G softie tank I'd shoot for a min of 1500gph+ of total flow in the tank..
So you are good to go..
