Just wanted to make sure these new additions are getting enough flow.
 
My hammers sway significantly more but hammers are very resilient so I'm sure you could leave it unchanged. I have found high flow rates helps with detritus buildup but if you're able to have the hammer's tentacles move in multiple directions, like in the wild rather than just one, this is best. Typically, a wavemaker and a powerhead running in the opposite direction of the wavemaker and lower than the wavemaker is what I have found to work.
