Should I ramp up my pumps slowly for my fish?

I just added sps coral to a tank that had no coral and 10x turnover at maybe 3000 gallons per hour. My fish have been in there for a year now. Moorish idol, Queen angel, and 5 tangs. I just put in 2 mp 40s that i plan on running around 100% to get the low I need. The fish are not use to this much current. Should I ramp up the pumps in stages so they can build up muscle. Or do the Acropora and Montipora need high flow right now? I have what appears to be the most hardy, aggressive, food driven moorish idol of all time and do not want to risk his health. Any thoughts?
