So i upgraded my tank from a 46 bow to a (four foot) 90 gal tank. Got taken by my LFS and under there advisement got the (2) Hydor Korelia 1 Pumps for circulation. Most definetly not enough current in the tank. I read on here to use the (2)hydor korelia 4 pumps. Now it seams like way to much current in the tank. Can i get some opinions here.

Not sure what this question has to do with bulkheads but anyway two K4's is definetly not too much flow. I usually recommend a minimum of 20x turnover for any saltwater tank and 2-k4's in a 90g equals about 26x turnover. I run about 2600gph in my 55g but I keep alot of SPS corals.

Take the Koralia #1s back and get the #4s or even better and cheaper.Get a couple of modded Maxijets w/surflow mod.
Well I already bought 2 of each, nobody had the K4s in my part of the woods so I had to order them. Thanks for the Maxijet recommendation, i'll look into them if i need replacements in the future for now I'll use what i have
