Default Will my fish adjust to my flow increase?

So I have been running 4 power heads in my 180 for its entire life 2x 1050 and 2x 1400 gph. I just picked up a coralife wave maker which adds an additional 2900x2 gph power heads. They do. It run 100% all the time but they ramp up to it 4 times a minute. The fish seem a little shocked by the change and my question is will they adjust to the flow change or am I just gonna **** them off and stress them out?

I added an extra power head to my 75 and for a day the fish were being blown around a little but they soon adapted to the change and now seem happy as ever.

I'm hopeing mine adjust as well. Just not really sure if close to 10000 gph of flow is too much in a 180. I'm going mostly sps which is part of the reason for the increase.
On a side note my tangs both seem to love it.

I find when my mp10 ramps up the fish like to be blown around. My Midas blenny will creep up to the wet side and get blown across tank doing it repeatedly
