Power head question for new tank

I have a 29g 31" long tank that just finished cycling. So far i have one clown fish, one koralia evolution 850gph pointed long ways to the other side. I was wondering if this one power head is enough or should I get another of the same size for the other side of the tank, or get two smaller ones and remove that one?

if you plan to keep corals, stock them over time and see what happens. what i mean is, it will also depend on what type of corals you're planning to keep. sps corals for example will need more light and flow than lps corals. so after adding more rocks and placing different types of corals all over the tank, you'll see that some corals need more flow, some corals are being blasted by direct flows, some rocks standing in the way of flows, and some dead spots. by then, you'll have an idea of what to do.
