Power heads too much power?

I put 2 1400 power heads in my 90 gal tank. 1 on each opposite sides to give it that swirl effect. The fish look like their having a blast or just getting the crap kicked out of them. Is this too much?
 
Not at all, I'm running two 1050s and two 425s in my 75g. You have two remember those two little powerheads don't create near the same current that the fish deal with in the ocean. Also, a good rule of thumb is that as long as it's not blowing your sand around you don't have too much flow.
 
Had them running for 1 week . I just added 2 clown and 1 blue tang today. They look like their going up to it and then taking a ride. There kind of small.
 
when you have to much current you tank will look like poop with sand all over the place. Also if you place them too high you will make a vortex causing microbubbles to enter your tank also making it look like poop.
