The only thing moving water in our tank before the powerheads was the filter, which is still running, and the Chromis' did fine with just a filter running for about 3-4 months now...
Update: the water parameters are as follows: Nitrite. Nitrate & Ammonia = 0 or undetectable by our cheap test kit (new one coming in the mail) pH = 8.3 Salinity = 1.023 So should we turn one power head back on and point it at the surface rather than straight at the glass wall? Thanks!

Yes, probably a good idea. Also your salinity is too low...pretty soon your cleaner will bite it at that level. Aim for 1.025 or 1.026

Okay, thank you. We mixed up some salt in tank water and added it in. We also put one power head on the left side back of the tank and pointed it to the front of the tank towards top of the water so its not covering a large area and not pushing everyone around like crazy, but its aerating the water for them again.
I hope this works the one Chromis looks very very stressed, I have a feeling he won't make it. The salinity is now at 1.205... We usually just feed the Chromis flakes, but we have given them brine shrimp and they just go CRAZY!!! for it... should we put some in and see if it sprites them up a bit?
