Powerheads to much for new fish?

I am wondering if my three MJ900s are too much for my two new clown fish. I do not want to stress them out by having to much flow. The MJs are modded so that they are probably equal to like 4 MJ1200s. What do you think in your expertise as far as new(small) fish(no opinions please)?

I did turn off the PHs for the first day.

I have a False Perc, and a Seio 1500, Seio 820, and Seio 620 plus a mag 7 return. That is 72X turnover in my 50 gallon tank.

The False Perc loves the flow, and can be seen regularly "surfing" the current. He also hangs out right infront of the 1500, fighting the flow because he knows that the food will be blasted right at his face.
