Water flow for soft corals....

Hey RC! I've been in the hobby for about a year now. Started out with fowlr and recently started adding coral. I have a 36 gal bow front with a Seaclone skimmer, Fluval 306 canister filter, coralife turbo twist uv sterilizer, and two generic 275 gph circulation pumps.

My question is are these two pumps enough??? I can't quite get them set right..... Either they are blowing my corals over or barely moving them at all. I was debating if possibly I need a third but idk if that would be a good idea or just over kill. I have one on each side of the tank one is about 1/4 from the top the other is about 1/2. As of right now I only have 5 pieces of soft corals in the tank but I have read they all need moderate to moderate high flow.. Should I possibly get bigger pumps...? I'm at a complete loss please help!!! Thanks RC!!
 
Do you have a link to the pumps? That should be fine for flow with the 2 pumps, and canister filter. You could add more if you want though, right now your getting around 15x turnover but it depends on what kind of flow your pumps are makeing, is it just a stream of water or is it a wide flow?
