I have a bio cube 14 gallon. I’ve been up until this point only using the stock pump in the back, which seems to be the right amount of flow. But everything I’ve read and seen everyone adds another powerhead. But when I do that, my hammers start looking like they’re getting whipped no matter what placement I do with the powerhead and no matter what angle I do it at. Should I get enough adequate flow just from that one pump in the back. Sorry for the silly question I know it’s probably been answered 1000 times but the hammer seem to be doing fine. The GSP seems to be doing fine and the Zoe’s are doing fine and I have two little clowns, kicking it like nothing‘s wrong.
 
IMO if everything is fine then everything is fine, I wouldn't try to increase the flow "just because" since you kind of seem against it. IMO flow requirements change as your reef grows, and when the tank fills put more then maybe you will find that you need more flow, but don't hurry about it if you don't feel to. IMO. good luck
