2x 1050's are fine, at least on paper.
However, if you have a lot of rockwork you may want to add a couple of smaller ones to help hit any dead spots.

Thanks, I just re-did rockwork to be against back glass in anticipation of receiving the new powerheads hopefully by the end of the week. 2 Koralia 1050's evolution pumps. I had a lot of detritus / red slime algae forming in some areas of the tank, hopfully they solve the problem.
