What powerheads for my 55 gallon?

Hi, what powerheads should I have for my 55 gallon? I currently have 2 hydor 1500s but you cannot adjust the flow and it seems like it might be too much. Is it?

Thanks!

Attached is a pic of the tank.

This is a little old of a photo but here is the flow that my hammer is getting (more or less)

That’s not a lot of flow at all. I would just keep these powerheads for now and just play with their location if need be.

Once you have more corals you can decide if you want something else.

I bought a Nero3 and Nero5, controllable, and I’m not even using them for now. I did for a while but I found it was too much flow. I’m using a single cheap Koralia at the moment and it’s fine. I have a filter that’s adding flow.

Ok thanks. I was talking to some other guys about the hammers flow and it seemed pretty high from what they said but I guess not thanks. And is it bad if there is the "higher" flow for cleaner shrimp and other fish? Thanks

And btw the zoas in the video. Are they overally small? I expected bigger but not sure.

I don’t have any zoas but they look like a regular small frag to me.
