Is this in your 55g? If so I think it is fine, I am running about 2600gph total in my 55g tank, I have 1- K4, 1- K3, 400gph from my return pump, and 200gph from my canister and I have been think about adding another Koralias PH to help increase the flow in the area where I have my Sea Fan.

Still think your OK, but your return pump output is probably closer to 675gph after you subtract for headloss.
To be sure you have enough flow though you need to examine your tank and look to see if you have areas where dietrus is accumulating, if you do you either need to redirect the flow that you have to get rid of this dead spot or add another PH.

Yeah your right about the head...
I am looking at the tank now (just added some new rock and did some aquascaping, it's cloudy and everything is moving real well..
